1971 Kid 8x8 Amphibous ATV 30HP Wisconsin VH4D Vickers Hydrualics | eBay

So after getting the KID up and running a couple things have happened. The rear output PTO shaft seal went out. I found that my set screw on the PTO shaft let loose and allowed the PTO shaft to slide...

I bought my steer cables at truck parts, as close of a match I could find. Part #6203BBU072

Well I can say the kid is 99% built. Got the seat built, floor pan in, lights hooked up, and drove it around. It was a good feeling. The kid performed as I expected for a 30hp engine. Had to do some...

How did your KID handle in the snow MyNewKID?? Did you still have the clunking chain noise after replacing the chain? Where did you go to get your chain and what did it cost? I haven't started...

On the pull cables, if you can get some PB blaster and spray the cable it will soak into the cable and...

Thanks for the feedback. Yes that is a aluminum fuel tank behind the driver seat, something the farmer installed. He also relocated the battery and put a single stat...

I have started tearing the KID down. I have broken off more bolts on this machine then I have in my lifetime of wrenching, got to love rust and small bolts! My plan is to split the body, separate the...

Thanks for viewing my thread. I joined 6x6 world not very long ago and consider myself a newbie/rookie to the AATV world. I picked up this KID 8x8 from a farmer who used it back in the day to pull...

I just purchased a KID. It runs and drives good, but needs some TLC. I am hesitant of tearing into it for a restore as I am not able to find any parts. I am open for suggestions as well for sourcing...
