Bristol Bush Swamper (Affectionately referred to as the Bush Machine

[Tuckerr99]

Hi, I was told you guys might be interested in this (unfortunately I don't have pics here yet, but in the next week or so I'll get some). My grandfather owns one of these monsters, featured here. I've always called it the Bush Machine, and a machine it is. Its color is baby-blue, and my grandfather bought it originally directly from the man who started the Summers company, back in Thunder Bay where he lived. I promise to get you guys some pics soon, but in the meantime, I would like all of the conjecture about this type of AATV. Does anyone else have experience with it, or with anything similar at all? Are there collectors out there interested in this type of vehicle?

Internal support axles? Does this mean the large 2.75" axles are hollow with a thinner axle inside it going from the right side to the left side? Sounds like it would be the case. This would help eliminate the stress at the frame.
Non-skid steer? Is this hydrolic like a Mudd-Ox?
Very cool and interesting aatv. I'd like to see pics, thank you.

when i look at the front view of the machine, the center frame work is very narrow. how are the axles supported in there and still each side be independent of each other ? says they are 2 3/4'' axles with another center axle. sure would like to see how it's designed. anyone explain ? thanks johnboy va.

There's a really cool u tube video of one in action at a moose hunt. Just type in Bristol bush swamper. I like the fact there's no underbelly to high center on.

That is sort of cool and weird because you sort of end up sitting on top of the machine instead of in it.
