need more info on my amphicat?

[Hopper]

Just bought a 6x6 at a swapmeet and i know nothing about it other that its a 70's model made in Mississippi. I have drove it and seems to run real good in forward, in reverse its a little jumpy on one side it feels like... or a little drag or something. I guess i am looking for what kind of tranny and what model it is and where i can get a manual to start my restoration project. The link below is of pic. i found on the web of the same style as mine, any help?

hey thanks Mike, I read what i could, which gives me a good idea of what its all about. I guess my next project is to find out about the tranny, it got the six plungers on top, two with springs, I would like to find out a little more about this tranny then try to rebuild it. My plan is to go through this whole project from a light but strong piece of diamond plate aluminuim to protect the bottom, i see it has a 300cc snowmobile motor in it with a rectifier, so i will be able to charge a 12 volt battery to power some options- trolling motor,bilge pump and stuff like that. I dont want to make it to heavy, but i am a mod kinda guy, I like to pick up where they left off.

not sure what trans it is but it looks like the one posted on here with the loop for reverse seems like it pops in and out of reverse and the left side grabs harder than the right side if some one can help me out I would appricate it a lot and also what type of trans fluid do they require and how much do the cats go for I think mine is a 1972 thats what I was told anyway it has sacs 277 cc on it the model number is 500079 it runs like a top would really like to restore and also is there any way to upgrade parts and put a roll cage and winch thanks and hope to here from someone.
