Ratchet upgrade

As is well known from previous posts on the blog, our higher than expected speeds and accompanying loads on the drivetrain have forces us to upgrade our drive ratchets.

We found a 3/4" drive 'female' ratchet which will take many multiples of our small ratchet box wrenches that we previously modified while still allowing the 'thru-linkage' capabilities we need through the hollow shaft.

We'll soon have the hubs completed for these and reinstalled.
