208tt slideable hubs....

Ok, checked my old square tubes with 7/8ths inch axles and there lugs are 3/8" fine with a 9/16th nylon lock nuts.

Steve, I dont know 2nd gen machines at all so unsure of your sliding hub.

Gee larry ask jpswift1, he saw them.....

Anything new?

Congrats!!!

Only thing I see is you might have to move your engine over to the left. Its hard to tell but looks like the drive clutches dont line up. Just something for you to take a look at.

I kind of wish my 208tt came with an engine. Pretty cool to see how its suppose to be.

Looking forward to the driveway run.

Turns out the lugs are 9/16. Guess LarryW was right. Video of the engine running coming soon.

I have one that even the 1/2 of the hub, the back 1/2 are slideable...when you apply the pressure of tightening the balloon tire, it presses the back 1/2 of the hub to the bearing collar

The hubs on my colt are like this too

Ok well anyways, my 208tt are 9/16ths, Im assuming his is.

Kurt, bring a 1/2 and a 9/16 socket with you. But try the 9/16s first.

nut sizes

Hithose old tires have 3 - 1/2" nuts on the inside of the rim....

3 -9/16", not 1/2". 1/2" are scrambler. Which as you would guess, Scrambler balloons wont interchange with attex unless you drill the holes out.

Actual bolt size is 3/8" and fine threads on your attex. Scrambler are 5/16ths and regular ole thread, not sure on thread count.

Just a quick update on the 208tt. Got her up and running and moving. First ride down the driveway was awesome! Can't wait to get her finished. Just need to hook up a throttle cable and figure out my wheel situation. Seems that the wheels are welded to the axels? Thanks to LarryW for the advise on how to free up my sticks.
