Another 'New to Me' Attex Post

[Chayse]

I will add that I do have the motor shroud/cover and seat..although a bit worse for wear and patched with aluminum, I do have it. I will see what I can do to salvage it or build a new one once I get the motor in place. I have a 3/4 sheet of 1/4" abs left over from the Bronco project and I am certain it will come in handy for this project. I will see if I can't fab up a skid plate for the belly and see what's leftover for the shroud/cover. Of course, all dependent on the final height of the motor.

Well, mine came in pieces. Lol
I got 3 engines with it. Rotax 343,377, and a Honda
15 hp engine. I have narrowed it down to the 28 hp 2 stroke.
Gonna be working on making new engine mount
And stiffening the frame..
Do you have pics of how the chains run?

These are 2 different generation machines.

These are 2 different generation machines.

Now, I’ve been told it’s a gen 1 with gen 2 axels.

Don,
Had a final today....Through Hole and Surface Mount Soldering, so I will get pics tomorrow. Final was rough, basically handed a blank circuit board and a pile of components..all have to be soldered to standard. Thank goodness for a magnifying glass and microscopes! Geez louise!! I will get pics for you tomorrow and apologize I didn't have time to get to it today.

Don, did you by chance post pics of your machine? Could look and see what the differences are and narrow things down. Either way, will get pics for you tomorrow.

chayse... when i had my amusement ride design and manufacturing business, all the bodies of our train rides, etc. were fiberglass. so you should't have much trouble patching your attex body. i found when patching a hole ...what worked well was gluing a piece of styrafoam on the inside of the hole as a backing...then use your fiberglass cloth and resin mix to build up the outside. do it in layers till it's flush..sand and then paint. hopes this helps. johnboy va. that's assuming the body is fiberglass ?

John, from what I gather from this forum, the Wild Wolf was an ABS body. So it looks as if I will have to mix me up some ABS goo and start patching!
