Hi there! I bought an old 4 seater Scrambler several months ago; after the wife discovered it hidden behind the barn I decided to go head and restore it. Bought an old cast iron 12hp Kohler for it, but need to restore the brake system first. Would anyone know where I can get replacement brake pads? If anyone else has a Scrambler sure would like to know more about the Scrambler and its capabilities compaired to other amphibious 6x6 Atvs. Thanks

Hi Clark1955 and scramblernewbie, welcome to the forum.

Clark, there are a couple of members that have Sears Sportsters. Try searching the site and see if yours looks like theirs. Here is thebuggyman1's:


scramblernewbie, try searching the site as well. There are several posts on Scramblers that may be able to help you out. If not, try starting a new thread in the "Other AATV" section of the site. Good luck with the restoration.

Hi scramblernewbie,
Tip#1) Learn to hide your projects better...maybe under a tarp, or like I do: under a cardboard box covering labeled "cooking and cleaning supplies". Projects are safe for years.

As for capabilities, scramblers rarely had reverse, and when they did it was a weak electric motor. 12hp is awful light, 16+ is more the norm.
Some members have put t-20 transmissions in their scramblers to really improve the performance. Here is some recent talk on doing that. http://www.6x6world.com/forums/wante...tml#post145133

Hello All!

Cameltoad here... I have been an amphibious freak for some time collecting a few toys... now it is time to get them ready for the Arizona fall. I wish I had more time to tinker on the vehicles but lack of garage space & time prevents me from doing so. Does anyone know a good AATV/UTV guy to do stuff on my rigs around Phoenix? I am also looking for a 6x6 or an 8x8.... I've seen a few guys with some suspension on there Attex.... might go that route too... Any pros & cons on I should consider when going to purchase one???? Chime in w/ your advice.... I'm 6'3" so I need to fit.. including a couple kids & a cooler! Know of a good deal near on one???? Would also like to meet up w/ some other amphibious types!

Current amphibious fleet:
4wd COOT... w 35" tires
2wd Wrangler.... not 35" tires...
Amphibious 8x8 1958 XM-410 All Aluminum Cold War Prototype.... (8) 41" tires & most of my $$$$$$.... to cart all the other toys in right???

Hi Cameltoad, welcome to the forum. It's good to have another amphibious freak on the site. Post some photos of your vehicles to the gallery if you get a chance so we can check them out.

Hi Mike,

I joined this site to see if anyone was interested in a Chaparral G50B motor. My dad was building a scat cat and didn't finish one of them before he died. So I have a brand new motor in the box I would like to sell to help out my mother. I checked around and figured some of your members might want this type of motor.

Let me know,

Thanks,

Hi my name is Gordon. I stumbled upon this site when I was looking for info on my AATV. I read some of the posts and decided to join. So I hope I can find parts and more info on my AATV. The model and serial number no longer exists on it, so I'm going by looks basically and an old manual I found online. The manual said it had a JLO Model 230, two-cycle engine (we hope). It was apparently made in Elmira, Ontario, Canada. Anyone that can help me out with any info would be much appreciated.

[Mike]

Hi Gordon, welcome to the forum. If you can post some photos of your ATV, someone can probable identify it rather quickly. Just start a new thread in the "Other AATVs" section of the forum when you are ready.

Name be FOSHO live in Fairbanks Alaska...
I have a MAX IV with a Tecumseh 18Horse (I believe) and am looking for a drive belt...
anyone know of a DAYCO # ?????

[Mike]

Hi fosho, welcome to the forum. If you will look on the front page of the website under the literature on the left hand side of the page, there are a couple of pages that list DAYCO belt numbers along with the length of the belt. You can measure what length you need and match it up from there.
