I have this fram of an amphicat and trying to find some info on it. One thing I would like to know is what type of trans is this and what chain would it use. Any info would be nice and thank you.amphidrr.jpgFRAME.jpg

That is the Borg-Warner tranny. I think it is called the t-10. Most call it the plunger style. Supposed to be the best tranny that came in the amphicats. Here is a link to the parts manual http://www.6x6world.com/forums/conte...ts-manual.html I remember reading a thread about someone having trouble with grinding in reverse. Ended up that to make that tranny go in reverse all you have to do is step on the loop and give it gas... no need to do anything with the sticks. As far as the chain, I think it is #40, but not 100% sure. Hopefully someone else will chime in on the chain size. Good luck.
Thanks for the info as I am going to put a 440 kaw motor from my snowmobile as it has no motor on it. I have the fram and some of the lower part of the body as some one cut it up. But I wil is what I could do to get pics. of it as I work on it as for body I might have to make one. Again thanks for the info.
Be careful... not sure how much punishment those little 3/4 axles will take
I hope it won't be to much as this is the first one I own but I have alot of work to get it done as this is what I have to start with. I took these pics. today as the ones I put on here was of some ones off the net but it has the same trany as mine. thanks for all the info.
Agreed! Now would be a great time to upgrade the axles and beef up the frame a bit. I don't think it would be too difficult, but you'll have to source new sprocket tubes, bearings and sprockets if you go up to 1" axles. Why not go all the way to 1 1/4" splined (or even solid) axles? Sprockets and hubs aren't too expensive, and you'd likely have the only 'Cat running the larger equipment.Originally Posted by gearhead1937
It's nice to see ambition in folks tackling such a project. Best of luck, and keep us posted on the progress!

Hello Mike
I love to rebuild things but this one is ground up as I will be making the body for it. As for the axles where would be a good place to get them and other things as this is my first one. I seen one when I was around 14 and wanted one for ever but didn't think I would be building one.
