ARKAT 6x6

[Bert]

Can anyone tell me anything about an ARKAT 6x6?


I've never heard of one before, and know nothing about them. I searched here and google and found only brief mention. Who made (or makes) them?

Don't know anything about this machine but it looks good.

Looks like a duromax motor. I bet it is an older machine (1970 ish) and somebody has restored it.

A guy nearby has it for sale for $2000. Says everything is new, but he doesn't have time to put it back together. Might be an interesting project, but I'd like to know more about what I'm getting myself into. And the price seems a bit steep for a project, especially one that might be really hard to get parts for. Also, I worry "doesn't have time" really translates to "couldn't make it work". He says the motor is a new 30hp Kohler.

Might have bit off more than he could handle many dive in on projects full thrust but give up I would give up that is why when I get one apart I don't stop till it's done I don't know how rare this machine is but 2000 grand for one you got to put back together seems kind of steep

Personally I think the front end looks like an old ford gt40

That's a really cool looking machine. It must be fiberglass by the looks of it, so probably on the heavy side. Does anyone know what kind of transmission it uses?

I'd say that the $2k price tag is high, but it does look like it's in pretty good shape. Let us know what happens with it!

The one thing I've been able to find about the ARKAT is that they use the T-20 transmission.
