And here are the plans i took a few minutes to draw up. I still need to figure out reverse, but so far things seem good.
Try and figure it out, but if my drawing is to crappy ill explain it lol!

Thats a Struck crawler...pretty neat & expensive too.
I think some kind of hydrostatic trans would be the easiest way with a breaking system to stop one side or the other.
I think the Strucks used reverser discs....I know Lennox crawlers did.
