Thread: Buried treasure- my father's old Attex (now in bad need of TLC!)

    Glad to know that it's not going to be a major thing to deal with- wet it, wrap it & remove it.

    I'd figured on wrapping it back up with some of the header wrap that's currently on the market once I got everything ready to go back together. Has anyone given that stuff a try (or is it really even necessary)?

    I have used the header wrap on the Crush and it works pretty good. Advance, Jegs any auto store sells it. I use it to keep the heat away from the rollcage.

    You need to run some wrap there ar the back of your seat will get melting hot. just a heads up, you can get the same stuff from McMaster for about 1/3 the price. McMaster-Carr If you wet this stuff before wrapping, you will get it on much tighter and have a lot less fiberglass in your hands at the end of the job

    Still haven't gotten the machine out of the shed, but I did run across the service manual for the JLO engine while going through a bunch of his books the other day. It says that it covers a bunch of different engines (both singles and twins) has the Attex, Inc. label on the back of it. It's 64 pages cover-to-cover, and although not in the best of shape it could probably be scanned into a usable PDF file. Is there an archive on the site for this sort of stuff? I don't see much point in scanning it unless there's a place to upload it so that it can help others with their machines.

    Well Guys, I hate to bring back this topic... NN4s (Don) passed away a few months back. He was like a cross between a best friend and a father to me, and I'm helping his wife with many of his projects. I found this site by simply googling his SN, it is sometimes like he was leaving me clues...

    It would mean a lot if some of your guys could help give me some pointers on value of this thing. Its a little out of my realm, but I don't mind getting a little dirty... Thank you for any help.

    He never had a chance to do anything with it. Its still sitting right where it was in those pictures. I think There might be an extra tire or two for it. However I have to move a lot of things to even get it out. It's is located in north Alabama... I can get try for some new pictures this weekend, but its pretty much the same, just more dust, and clutter...Thanks

    I know the inside of the gas tanks on those bikes rusted quite readily. There just wasn't enough corrosion protection involved in anything built in Japan back in those days. Don't know if your old enough or not, but I remember back in the 60's/70's when if someone owned a Japanese manufactured car over say 5 years old it was a complete rust bucket. It took them many years to master and include quenching and other processes in their metals manufacturing. Their exports suffered badly for that. Check the inside of the tank and see if it was a victim.
