Hey, Im new to the 6x6 machines, Ive always seen pictures and videos of them but have not ever been up close to one until I bought an Attex for 200 dollars. Ive been researching quite a bit, but still have tons of questions.

I know that my Attex is a 1977, but I dont know which model it is. It has the skidsteer transmission/ The original motor isnt in it, it now has a tecumshe oh160, Is that a very good motor? The orginal motor had exhaust coming out the side of the machine, but the hole was patched up by the pervious owner. I put a battery in it, turned the key and got nothing. So im thinking its the wiring or ignition switch. If anyone can help shed some more light on this, i would apericiate it. Im really curious of what model it is?

Thanks,
