Just began restoring what I was told was a 1969 Attex.Not sure if this is true.There are no markings on the machine.Only says 297 Attex on body no ID plate.Any help out there?.I am allso looking for idler sprockets and 4 cycle clutch.thanks Bill W.Newfield maine.
It's a '69 or '70.......maybe '71 at the very latest. Attex didn't mark the frames on the first generation machines like yours. You have a model 297. For idler sprockets you can go through www.surpluscenter.com and you can get a clutch here: Recreatives Max Clutches | ATV Parts | MFG Supply
Whatever you do, NEVER DEAL WITH RICHARD CLARK/ROUTE6X6. He sells inferior quality parts at ridiculously high prices, and his customer service is horrible. Many, many people have been burned by him. Good luck on the project and we look forward to seeing the progress.

I just looked at your pics and I see you have the 3/4" axles with the squared off ends. This means your machine is most likely one of the very earliest ones, around 1969 like you stated.
You might want to look for a set of larger outer bearing flanges and 1" axles from an Attex ST/300/D or similar model. It'll save you trouble with bending axles and make the machine a bit more durable. You'll also need the sprockets as well. Try posting a wanted ad here on the site. It seems like there's quite a few first generation machines out there, so someone will have what you need.

ok I thank you for your time and info.I just picked up another attex a 1972 even have the owners manual with it.The machine is in rough shape but I have enough parts now to build one from the two.will post some new pics of the 72 soon thanks again Bill west newfield maine
I was told mine was a 69 as well and Richard wished me like on finding anything but mine looks nothing like yours.
Oh Richard Clark? Completely disregard what he told you about finding parts. There are quite a few members here on 6X6World that can help you locate the correct parts for a first generation Attex. Post an ad here on the classified section and you'll find what you need.Originally Posted by mikeiscool
