A couple weeks into the project,with all new axle bearings,seals ,chains ,and tires and rims.Could use a good cleaning now.

Looking good. I know it has to feel good having all of that behind you. You're ready to tear up the trails now.

Does anyone know about the bracket on the back of it?I talked to the company who made this tiger and they said it was originally an option but I have never seen another.Looking for a pic of another so I could get the bracket back to original,Think its missing something,but not real sure what.

Looks like an outboard motor bracket with maybe space for the fuel tank in front of the motor.

IT RUNS

Finally got to drive it for the first time yesterday and well it did not go very well We put some brazzing on the axels to tighten up the bearings and I think it made them brittle by heating them,so after a few rides around I broke off two of the back shafts which was on the way to the pond so could have been worse like in the pond and its still pretty cold here.Today replaced all the axels and went into the pond for the first time.We had a blast.Wondering about solid axels, anyone tried them and what kinda of cost would I be looking at? I'll post new pics as soon as I get it cleand up.

Nice looking machine there Mikjas2.

Good job on the resto! Talk with Whipper about making axels, he does really nice work.

[mikjas2]

Thanks guys,we cant wait to get it back in the water!! I would be interested in some solid axels, seems to be the weakest link of the machine,all the ones in it now are original unbrazed axels but I just dont trust them after what happened.

Axles

That's a great looking Terra Tiger you have! Love to have one like it! Its possible these very first Terra tigers had hollow axles! Later ones after AC brought them had solid axles. Mike Do you have a picture of one the axles? Also does it have solid front jackshaft sprockets? Have seen a picture of spoked ones on these red and white ones? This is first (real) red and white machine I've seen. We have sister too it, first AC one made after they bought out Feldmann. Its all one color, has solid axles and front sprockets. Love to heard more about it. And if you or anyone else has one like this for sale! Please let us know. We would like to have a red and white one and an all yellow model of them yet! We have 5 Terra Tigers at this time. 2 TT-10's and 3 TT18's. One TT10 we sold new.
