I know why the steering handles are in the center, but does that not make it hard to have two people in the front? (Gotta bring your favorite girl along for the ride) Has anyone tried to move the handles to one side? Been looking at some of the posted photos, and do not think it would be that hard.

My first gen attex's are slightly on the left. The most difficult thing about moving them would be relocating the slotes in the floor pan. Actually moving them over would be a 1/2hr or less job with a grinder and a welder.
But like Mike said, they are ok there. You need to be able to drive it from the right side on certain situations too.

Good luck on your hunt.
Take care,
Larry

Hi from KIM

Hi I own a 2003 argo conquest 8x8 I bought it this april fromj a guy in Denver Colorado it had 55 hours, it came with supertracks a 4500 pound winch, snow plow, alternator, heater, aluminum top with slide in cloth sides. The aluminum top can be used as a boat rack or for carring stuff. I have taken it on a couple of trips fishing to remote lakes this summer and it worked great. I used the snow plow in April when we had a late snow storm and i am very happy that i will not be snow blowing snow this winter. I live in Alberta Canada and will be taking it moose hunting in a couple of days. I live out in the country and have been using the conquest for fencing and other chores out in the field. I am thinking that I would like to get another set of tires and rims and I have been looking at the mud lites 22x11X8. Does anybody have any experience with these tires pn a conquest. So far I really enjoy my Argo

Sounds like quite a rig you've got there! Meinfeld has the Mudlites on his Hustler 980 Bigfoot. I hear they are excellent in the mud, but they don't really swim and they are a hard ride.

Thanks for the info i am learning how to use this post system and i went to your info site by mistake and it looks like you own a (PPT) Pass Par toute I used to have one i just sold it to last year. I had it for 10 years and used it many times for hauling out moose. You do not see many PPT's

Sorry i screwed up it was picture of a PPT next to your machine i think it was Joe M who has the PPT.

Hello everyone, new to the site

Hi, my name is Mike. I am 28, and live in New York. I love working on anything mechanical, and have had quite a few projects in the past. I recently purchased a hustler that was in need of restoration. I believe it is a 1976, it has the kohler 16hp engine. This is my first experience with an amphibious atv. I am almost done with the mechanical restoration, which has gone pretty well. After it is back to drivable condition, I plan on making a few modifications to make it swim better. I would love to hear any tips, or suggestions since I am new to these vehicles. I will try to get some good pictures soon, but it is not much to look at right now.

Hello

Found this site by accident - usually visit Route 6X6. I am interested in the springers that I saw on this site. Would like to know more, especially what parts were used. Have thought about that for my Swamp Fox, along with getting rid of the Tecumseh engine.

[Mike]

Mike and D. welcome to the site!

Dfletcher, use a search to check the springer threads. They have probably already covered everything that you want to know. Particularly the Attex thread:

Hello 6x6 folks, I just happened upon this site looking for a restorable 6x6, I have been into motorcycles, 4X4 trucks, anything off road for many years. I have restored many motorcycles, and have rebuilt many Jeeps. I am in need of a new project. I remember an old attex that a friend had when I was a teenager, approx. 30 years ago, and have always wanted one. I live in Bath N.Y. and have only seen a few in this area. The ones I have seen are newer, and cost between 6and 8 thousand dollars. I really want one that needs restoration. I have read a few threads, and see that a gentleman that goes by the handle of Amphiman1 is close to my area, and I hope to get in touch with him as he seems to be somewhat of an expert on these machines. This seems to be a very well developed site with a lot of good information.
Happy trails,
Hillsurfer

Route 6x6 refugee here. I wondered where in the heck everyone went.

I have a 2003 Max II, and went to a couple of rides at Deepwater back before the socialists closed it off to AATVs.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Tony and I am in Evansville, Indiana. I just picked up my second six wheeler last week. I have owned a McKee Rough Rider for several years and noticed my video on this site: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/other...der-video.html
That was way back when I first got that basket case running. It has since got a sweet paint job to match my pickup truck. It has the JLO 2-stroke and runs scary fast. Has no reverse so I was looking to buy a T20 and mod it, but found a Max II the other day that started and moved (briefly) that I couldn't pass up.
Now I am reading up on the T20 to see why I lost the left side drive.
Too many projects, not enough time.

Hi from Tom H.

Hello
I am new here so a little bit about me and my project. I am 57, live in Utah and am a Mechanical Engineer. I was given a mid 70's Ruppster frame with wheels and tires, rear end and steering box but nothing else. The frame was bent and I have been rebuilding it into a Polaris Ranger type vehicle. I cut the rear axle and front axle off and mounted them on snowmobile leaf springs. I mounted a Kohler M18 2 cylinder 4 stroke that drives through a 94-C Comet centrifical clutch to a Ski-Doo 640ER chain case and a short drive shaft to the sprung rear axle. The 640ER chain case has a reverse in it. I added a roll cage and fenders and am building a body for it. I also have a second Polaris axle that I am going to mount behind the stock one on a swing arm that pivots from the first axle. It will be chain driven from the first axle. I have a set of Polaris front hubs and disk brakes that I will replace the stock no front brake hubs with. The wheels and tires have been replaced by larger diameter ATV wheels and tires I will post some pictures as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks

Tom H
