  • Pet names for your machine?

    After reading in another members thread where his girls named his machine I thought I'd see where this would go.

    We have affectionately named our Max IV "turtle frog". I thought it looked kinda like a frog and it moved kinda like a turtle so there it is, then I actually googled "turtle frog" and it's a real critter and darn if it don't look just like one so the name has stuck.

    Any others?

    94 MAX IV, 16 Vanguard, Aqua Torques, 1 1/4" wheel spacers

    My 11 year old son refers to my COOT as " Artie ", due to the way it bends in the middle. Maybe I'll have to get some decals made for it...Off topic, but I have another machine I built that I named " CubZilla "

      I call my Max II 'My Magic Shoes', 'cause, like Forrest Gump's momma told him about his leg braces, it'll 'take me anywhere'.

        Just picked up a reddish orange max IV and thinking about putting "I think I can, I think I can" on the rear deck.

            I call my 4-stroke Attex the Ugly Duckling because it was nasty before restoration. Now it's a beautiful swan

                  Here is a link to a write up I did about " CubZilla" on another forum:

                  CubZilla 4wd, articulating, hydraulic steer tractor - Hydraulic Innovations

                  and here is a short video of it playing in the snow a few years ago:

                      Well I'm sure theres a million of these, but my wife's nickname in college was "Wildthing" (also her theme song). The decals are already ordered...

                        Here we have a true "4 chain" frame (square rear crosstubes) that has a "74" stamped in larger font and has the frame work and calipers for the T-20 output shaft mounted brake discs. I think it might be from a Thunderchief. The upper and lower bodies are both green poly that I just quessed/assimilated are that of a Superchief,but I could be way off here The engine cover/seat is pretty much identical to the ones on my 1972 Colt's but had the "curved rod" latch to hold it open as opposed to the little cables like the Colt's have. I have installed a Kohler CH20 engine. This collection of pieces is known as "Gizmo".

                          Have 4 total at my work site, of which 3 are running. Generally called the buggies until something breaks and then it is whatever stream of profanities we can come up with.

                            We call our Avenger Margo The Argo. Our yellow Honda Rancher is Lovely Dove.

                            5-21-13: We decided to change the name of the Avenger to The Turtle. Sounds better to me.
