Not a problem Don!!!

I think there may be some errors in there? The main thing Im confused about is the st400r. 400 ccw baker hill first generation attex. I have seen them so I know there right. But there are some st400(R)? Like Racerone3's that are t-20 machines 400jlo i believe?. Maybe thats just no "r" or?????? Did they forget that model?

I think Attex made two different machines with the same designation. The first generation ST400R is fairly common, but the T20 model that was listed with a 5-port JLO 400 and dual carbs is a rare find. I'm pretty sure I saw one once, but it was in 1972 and a lot's happened since then

They also made neat little pop up campers. I used one back in the day.

Attex was a manufacture like argo and max.

The one in my picture is a 208tt. A stock 208tt had a rear exit exhaust, wire mesh hood and a 8 horse briggs with a higher engine mount then any other baker hill style attex. All other 1st generation machines are basicaly identical with just engine differences and few other minors like bearing style and stick shape but body and engine hood wise there all the same machine.

Thats good info! Thanks for the help guys!
Well I finally found the numbers! They were burried under a lot of paint. They are: 73 JP15970. So, what do they mean? I assume the 73 is the year. But whats the rest? It is a 4 chain setup, side exhaust and I think a poly body. Whats the model? I forgot my camera today, so pics will come later.
The other question I have is, is there a front chain tensioner kit with a spocket instead of a steel plate?

If it is a 1973, then it is an ABS body. The front chain tensioners are "L" shaped pieces of steel with hard plastic sliders riveted onto them. If yours just has metal, the plastic sliders most likely wore off. You can make new ones out of hard white nylon cutting boards......Goodwill or any thrift store will usually have them kicking around for a buck or two.
