says in brochure '' spring loaded clutch on each wheel '' . how does that work exactly ? what was their function ? johnboy

1st gen Scramblers had the same thing. Just a slipper clutch on each axle. The idea was to keep the drive train intact. Most got welded closed and a year or so later they where done away with entirely, Just more things to go wrong.

ok guys I have the blueprints and paperwork on this V-plex clutch system out of Hagerstown Indiana and the date it was designed was 1966. Dixon must have used it later or had a similar design but it appers that the center cone is made of some composite or brake like material and when you push levers foward those outer cones rub against the center cone and off ya go.
who wants it?? lol I dont believe i want to tackle this project as I have another Attex to build yet

Interesting. It works great on the Dixon. Real finicky to set up though.

I just worked on a Dixon cone drive from the mid eighties. This looks real similar. Perhaps an earlier model?

Yep. there were 2 or 3 versions, but all used the same concept. This may not be a Dixon but its the same idea
