Hi fellow Attex fans! I need a drive belt # for an attex with a 295 jlo.dont know model for sure!!! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It will make a difference whether it's a 297, ST300D, or ST295. Does it have a T20 or Baker/Hill transmission?

[dave phelps]

t-20

[Don]

If the engine is original, you most likely have an ST295 or a Wild Wolf. They both take a Gates 6086 or Dayco HP3029.

Ok thanks Don!! I used to have a sc 500 and a wild wolf but the wild wolf had an abs body.This one has a poly body!!when it warms up I will investigate this further and try to find the serial number!!! I think I got some pics posted a few minutes ago.

Cool. The engine must be a transplant- as far as I know, Attex never put a 295 JLO in a Poly bodied machine. Even so, it's not a bad combination and should be great.

I wonder if that could've been a Spirit. That would have been a real easy engine swap- they came with a G25A Xenoah: basically, half a Superchief engine. It looks a little orange, and the only Spirits I've ever seen have been 76s (bodies turned kinda orange after a while). That would be interesting to find out.

I was thinking the same it may have been a spirit. They were sold with no reverse and the put block outs on those. Most people cut them off when they got them or shortly there after as the t-20 was still capable of reverse. Look for signs of those block-outs and you will know for sure. I wonder if George has a picture of the remains on the Spirit he has.

Just a note, it's got Argo tires on it. That's an indication it could have come from someone with multiple machines. As I posted in the new members thread, it could be a re powered Superchief, Spirit, or Tomahawk. It could have also been a rebodied Wild Wolf. Check the serial number on the frame rail above the right rear sprocket and please let us know what it is.

I havn't a clue but will get some better pics when it warms up!! Thanks guys!!!

Yes, certainly let us know. We'd love to see some pics.

Ok here's what I found for the serial # 73 f015765. Let me know what ya think!! Thanks

I'm thinking it was a wild wolf that got put in a poly body at some point in its life.

[Don]

Same here, Drew. Probably right around 1976

[dave phelps]

Well maybe I'm wrong about the body type!!This thing looks original as in never touched inside and the bottom hardly has a scratch on it!,anyway too tell the poly and abs apart?my old 295 was yellow and this one is orange!! Thanks

[Don]

That's a poly body for sure. The ABS bodies never had the raised "swoosh" on the side of the top half. No matter what it started out as, you have a very nice machine.
