I acquired a free cub cadet lawnmower today, thanks to builder, Jay Hungate​'s, tip.
At the very least, there is a differential on the rear axle. Finding one at an affordable price has been difficult. Building one from scratch is also expensive, so I hope this one works out.
I'll most likely need to make a container for the differential, but I should theoretically be able to use the rear axle to drive the front wheels on the sculpture.
A fun bonus is the possible existence of a large ring gear/small pinion bevels that should attached to the differential.
The ring gear will be replaced with a sprocket so we can attach it to cranks. The bevels will be key to how I want to do the water propulsion.
