To be honest, I wouldn't even bother doing anything besides parting this machine out. This is one of the last models of Amphicat, which I believe were made by Magna Corporation in Raymond, Mississippi. This transmission is known for exploding like that......hopefully it didn't happen while you were driving. Look for an Argo, Max, Hustler, Attex, or some other machine that is much more stout and reliable. There are low priced machines that only need minor work that pop up from time to time."Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"

Thanks for sharing the photos. I think it's cool to see someone revive a machine that was so far gone. It's not something that I would want to do but I like watching others do the hard work.
Keep us posted.

It is coming right together. Do not believe anyone one was hating, just that many here would not have gone that far with one of those, waiting to see the finished product.sigpic

Don't forget there are not that many left, so if I can preserve even one of these everyone benefits. Even the one from the Bananas show is no longer in a museum.Watch where that lands, I might need it later.Comment
