need more info on my amphicat?

[Hopper]

Just bought a 6x6 at a swapmeet and i know nothing about it other that its a 70's model made in Mississippi. I have drove it and seems to run real good in forward, in reverse its a little jumpy on one side it feels like... or a little drag or something. I guess i am looking for what kind of tranny and what model it is and where i can get a manual to start my restoration project. The link below is of pic. i found on the web of the same style as mine, any help?

hey thanks Mike, I read what i could, which gives me a good idea of what its all about. I guess my next project is to find out about the tranny, it got the six plungers on top, two with springs, I would like to find out a little more about this tranny then try to rebuild it. My plan is to go through this whole project from a light but strong piece of diamond plate aluminuim to protect the bottom, i see it has a 300cc snowmobile motor in it with a rectifier, so i will be able to charge a 12 volt battery to power some options- trolling motor,bilge pump and stuff like that. I dont want to make it to heavy, but i am a mod kinda guy, I like to pick up where they left off.
