    Thanks, I think it turned out awesome and am super happy so far.

    The tires Tim used are Kenda 18x10.5x8.

    I have never seen Adair tracks with metal links like that before. Is this something new Tim is doing?

    I think he has been doing this design for a while. This set of tracks/tires/wheels was originally for a Max II but he later went to a wheel and tire combination that had a little more floatation. Works out perfect for the Attex though.

    Got a fair amount of time on the Attex build this week. Was able to get the T-20 back together with 2 new drums, relined bands from Transmission Krafters, new DU bushings and 13 tooth gears. I notched the center plate to take the new style thrust washers. Just need to fill and it with fluid and it will be ready to go.


    Pulled the engine and got the frame ready to remove.


    Pulled the frame and inspected it. It is actually in good shape. I don't see anything that needs repair. Figure I will blast it and powder coat everything and reasemble with new hardware.

    Looks fantastic. My Super Chief was set up for the tracks as well as the factory snow plow. Unfortunately the plow and tracks went missing long before I purchased the machine. Mike

    Thanks Mike and a big thanks for posting the great pictures of your machine and its cool roll cage in the Attex gallery.

    I plan on copying this factory looking design. It is way cool.

    Keith, I never thought that the cage was factory built, but it is designed to work with the factory windshield. I can tell you that the cage works. I rolled the Attex over back wards going very slow up a big pile of leaves on a hill. I was able to stay inside the cage even without seat belts, and walked away unharmed.
