My 208tt

[arm08kn]

Here is my first amphibian. It is an Attex 208tt, but im not sure of the year. It has the original 8hp engine and ATV6000 trans. The engine currently does not run, but should run with the points cleaned. 5 of the 6 tires hold air. The tub is in pretty good shape with few cracks. So what do you guys think?

Very cool. I bet it's pretty light.

You better make plenty off room in your garage...these little guys tend to attract others.

That's a beauty: a great little machine. There's a few of us around that still tinker with the Baker/Hill transmissions if you need any parts or information. Keep us updated on the restoration.

That sure is a nice machine you've got there! I can't wait to see what a little bit of wet sanding and waxing will do to it. Nice find!

I think that's a great amphib! Get that baby running and go have some fun

Update

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.

Nice find!!! George, is right! Make room in the Garage! They tend to multiply!

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.

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

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.
