Thread: Bush Swamper 16/24 wheeler.

  1. #11

    Attention all Bush Swamper /Grizzly owners!

    I really need some help/advice on getting the drive train right on this machine. Ive got the old briggs running swell and now am in need of the correct belt size and then Much help with the brake set up. Anyhow, I would really like to get in touch with other owners, especially those whose Grizzlies are operational. :]
    Thanks in Advance
    Matt

    That is a very beefy machine. Never heard of them. Good luck with it.

If anyone is well versed in snowmobiles may be able to help me if i get centres.
    Thanks in advance.
    If you will search the forums this topic has been discussed before. Here's a thread to get you started: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/trans...-question.html

    The last post from jerseybigfoot links to a calculator with everything you need to find the proper belt.

    Well, to save anyone any trouble, the belt number is : GoodYear 71167 or Johndeer HP3022. This works out to a belt that is 1.25" x 47.125". Hope this helps someone.

    I have both belts and the breather pan. I'll take pics of both, and measure the belt.

    HI, I'm glad to see that someone else is working on a Bush Swamper! I just had one GIVEN to me! (16 wheel) The Rubber and chassis is in fantastic shape but unfortunatly the motor and gear boxes are shot. The motor doesn't seem worth repairing but the gear boxes might be able to be restored. If anybody knows where I can find a repair manual or parts manual let me know. Thanks!

    brothersam, welcome to the site. What a way to get into the hobby. You will probably have a hard time finding manuals but if you post some pictures of any problems you have, someone may be able to help you through them.
