Need assistance Identifying

[Chayse]

As the title suggests, need help identifying this Attex. From what I have found on this site and others, 'I think' i know but will leave it to the experts. I picked this up locally for no more than a Friday night bartab, as it was sitting in a hoarders yard..along with a 4-seater Scrambler. My buddy and I bought both to fiddle with, in hopes of a ressurection.
I think it may be an early 207 BUT I will wait for the final verdict from the experts here. Looks to have a BH 7000, which I have no idea if it will still operate or turn for that matter. Time is short to tinker, so once I get it moved to it's final location, I'll slowly tear into it. The frame is shot, seems like thin metal, so will hopefully fabricate one from the existing. Will need axles, chains, sprockets, etc...tub is in great condition with no cracks. Seller said it was in the garage of the previous owner until the projects were abandoned. Let me know what you think. All I know is it is smaller than my 295 Wild Wolf...Thanks in advance for the assistance!

V/r,

Chayse

Baker/ Hill: either a 5000 or 7000. If the ends of the shaft are 3/4", it's a 5000, 7/8" it's a 7000.

It's hard to tell anything from those pics. Early 297 had axles that had squared inners, I think the 5000 were actually only 5/8" outer bearings with the 7000 at 7/8" . It also looks like it has aluminum bearing flanges so I'd guess it's a 300 from what I can see on this kindle. Oh 297 had s bent sticks and the later were straighter.

[Chayse]

Thanks to all for the insight! It is a 7000, actual #1119( found on the tag on the trans). Round bearing flanges (outer) and bent sticks. @Argojim...cannot see inners, as it looks as if the axle passes through the frame on the inside. Outer flanges are steel(slightly rusted). May be a bit confused as to "squared inners"....

[Chayse]

Also, I read on another site about the B/H 7000 'Power Trans'...looks as if mine is the same...has what looks to be a solenoid mounted to the trans body/frame. Pro's/cons of this...because honestly..I don't know

[Chayse]

Please disregard the last post...the solenoid is obviously for something else....

There is a break down of the trans in the manual section. 7000 is pretty easy to disassemble and replace needed parts pucks can be made from brake lining sheet from McMaster Carr. Make sure to check your calipers are free and float a little. Looks like all brake discs need good cleaning

Had some time to tear into this thing. I have no idea how long it has been sitting outside but there was no way to get the axles out..so I had to cut out all of them. Frame and sprockets are shot. Once I had the axles out, I removed the 7000 and started cleaning the tub. I will move it to it's new spot out of the weather to begin putting this thing back together. I will re-fab the frame out of aluminum and get it as close to the factory as I can. During my searches, I have seen quite a few examples of the frames, so I should be ok. I do have a question..IF this is a 297 or possible 300, how long were the axles? They will be 1" TGP 4140. Guess I could measure my old axles and add in the width of the blade I used? This will be a slow build..looks as if the TGP 4140 is quite pricey these days...will hunt around and see what I can come up with once I have the amount needed for the 6 axles. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I will add that this will be primarily used as a light-duty machine, highly doubt I will 'swim' with it, so I will just run some standard 'knobbies' on it. I live in Florida,it's flat scrub for the most part...just something to go hunt hogs in really. I will build my Wild Wolf a bit stouter, just due to the fact that I am putting in a 27hp BS twin in it. Thanks again.

[rickga]

It will take some time but the axle sizes are in the attex gallery i m pretty sure the pic is at the top of one of the pages. We run a 13hp predator in my sons 300, it does just fine.

Thanks rickga! I remember seeing the sheet with the part #'s but not the one with the measurements...don't know how I missed it! I will double check with what I have left of the axles I cut out for comparison.

[Chayse]

So I have been gathering parts here and there...mainly aluminum for the frame. I did happen across this post:
http://www.6x6world.com/forums/attex...-bearings.html my outer flanges are round...like the ones on the left (in the pic). Just would like some clarification as to the right bearings. Due to the prices of TGP 4140, I have opted for 4140 HT, I will purchase the stock an 1/8" over and have my friend turn them down to final dimensions on his lathe, as mine is down for maintenance. I am going a different direction with this build, as it will be slow...too many irons in the fire at the moment. The BH 7000 is out...as a matter of fact there will be no transmission and/or clutches to speak of...still ironing out the final details.
I have cleaned the tub and moved it to its 'assembly' area..out of the weather...will post some pics later. Thanks to the PO and a can of spray paint...I am left with little to no options but have tossed around the idea of getting it 'wrapped'...just to cover the hideous red spray paint! Thinking something in the 'Camo' realm...seeming that it will be mainly used for hunting...why not. More to come....

I think you can go with standard 205-16 bearings with steel flanges, rickga can confirm this.
