The 400 Chief is a very nice Attex model. They really move too! Here are some wiring diagrams. Welcome to the site.

thanks for the wiring diagrams, i just uploaded some pictures of my new attex. if you want to check them out they're under Attex Chief 400 Project, but i have another question which is where should i look on my engine to locate its model number?

[jpswift1]

The model and serial numbers are just below the coils on the engine block.

stuck axles

how i did mine first spray the he?? out of them with pb blaster seems like everybody is bragging about (kroil)have not used it yet. Unscrew both locking collars making sure they will turn on the axle with out the axle turning. If not put some vise grips on them untill they spin freely. I made a homemade puller with a dumbell bar and a fifty pound weight 20 pounds was not adequate for mine i had to secure the opposite side of the machine to a tree.MAKE sure when putting back together to use antiseize. i will let you know how my next 2 axle removals projects work GOOD LUCK AND welcome to 6x6 world

well i got my axles out last week, only two of them would free up so i ended up having to cut 4 of them out and now i have a guy making me 6 all new axles with a 4 bolt hub on the end instead of the factory 3 bolt that way i can convert to 8"x8" rims. next step is getting the body welded up so i can start on my skid plate and rhino lining. thanks for the advice so far guys.
