With an open differential, why wouldn't you be able to spin a single tire?

the open diff allows one wheel to free spin


also try this. Put it in neutral and spin one wheel. Watch which direction the other wheel spins.

the front is in the air. put it in first gear and spin the driver tire forward and the passenger tire should spin in reverse by itself. duh
