    Looking for Terra Tiger Parts in Michigan or will ship..

    Never owned a 6 wheeler- but did own couple Allis Chalmers Tractors..
    Picking up a project..
    Looking for front axles, clutch, parts in front of engine area.
    Plan to get the machine in couple days....
    I did find all the manuals on here - THANKS...
    Been doing some reading to get associated with this type of machine.

    Anyone ever put electric start on these.
    Thanks for any advice - my son will be helping me and learning also.

    My first Amphib was a Terra Tiger, and it nearly broke me of the hobby. I found parts difficult to find, and space to work on the machine's interior was limited. The fact that it had no reverse also led to many impossible moments. While there have been a few folks that have adapted t20 transmissions and modern engines to these, the appearance is that you will be limited to low horsepower motors.

    My recommendation is actually to locate a Max2, Hustler 950 or Attex, to start with. Parts are pretty much universal and plentiful.

    Thanks for advice- however already have committed to this terra tiger, and my son excited to see it....
    It will be a learning project I guess, I don't need anything fancy or real fast, just always wanted to have one to play with.

    Thanks Again...

    The axles can be made easily, however I wouldn't bother. They are small diameter and weak. If the shaft in front of the motor is missing, you will spend a ton of time and money trying to rebuild it and I'm afraid you will be very disappointed when done. Much better to just find a T-20 Trans and graft it in. Maybe you could find an old MaxII and reuse it's parts.

    Thanks again for the advice...
    I know I probably may not get this done- but hope to try my best for my son.

    I'm in SE Michigan - south of Flint..
    I actually get the unit later tonight, it does come with a transmission that has reverse- however the guy i'm getting it from never got a chance to work on it.
    I do not know anything about the trans- but does not look like the T-20.
    I understand this will be a design and engineering task- teaching my son how to make things work..

    Was hoping to maybe find the original front shaft that goes in front of the engine with all the pulleys at a salvage yard or someone else's unfinished project.

    Thanks Again - will post more about this venture..

    I was wondering if you are making any progress with this. I hope you didn't get discouraged because I think if you fixed it up as original it would work just fine for your intended use.
