    Believe member stevereg had a complete machine for sale up there in need of repairs, try contacting him.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    To be honest, I wouldn't even bother doing anything besides parting this machine out. This is one of the last models of Amphicat, which I believe were made by Magna Corporation in Raymond, Mississippi. This transmission is known for exploding like that......hopefully it didn't happen while you were driving. Look for an Argo, Max, Hustler, Attex, or some other machine that is much more stout and reliable. There are low priced machines that only need minor work that pop up from time to time.

    Thanks for sharing the photos. I think it's cool to see someone revive a machine that was so far gone. It's not something that I would want to do but I like watching others do the hard work. Keep us posted.

    You have no idea the amount of work I've had to do. I just hope the repair stick and don't break the first time I have it out.
