[Weenie]

Hi all, my name is Paul, I’m from down under. Just bought a 6x6 for restoration. Not sure what make it is, hope you guys will help me find out.

[whoosh]

Hi weenie,not sure what your machine is but seen one like it on ebay,looks tuff but,what running gear is in it,also what is a weenie

Can you post some pictures?

[Mike]

Hey Paul! Welcome to the forums, it's good to have you here. You guys from Australia are growing in number on the boards now.

I'm sure the second you post a picture someone here can identify your 6x6 for you.

[Weenie]

Pictures!

Hi guys, here are some pics of the yet unidentified 6x6.....

Hey Paul,
Do you know if those tires are still made in Australia?

[jpswift1]

I have seen those tires on a couple machines that were manufactured here in the United States and Canada. I forget what brand or model the machines were. I'll post up if I remember or find any more info out. Could you post up a picture of the engine and transmission? Thanks.

Man, that thing looks more like a wedge than a Wedge does.

[GREASEMONKEY]

We use some tires like that at work. I think the Bobcat's use them. The ones we get are called Super-V Farm tires.

unidentified 6x6

HI again guys, the tyres are Goodyear 2 ply 16x14.5-6 Terra Grip. Got no idea where they are made or if still available! Not convinced it is a Wedge as all the pics of Wedges I've seen have a steering wheel and one headlight in the middle at front. This machine has 3 slots for lever type controls at seating position. It came with a T20 transmission but no engine. I don't think it's a bobcat as there is no bucket!

[jpswift1]

Where would the T-20 mount? Do you think it was actually originally equipped with a T-20 or was someone just going to custom mount that one in there?

[George]

Hi Weenie,

I don't believe it is a Wedge. What I meant is that the name seems befitting for your vehicle than for the machine produced by Sperry/Rand.

Your machine is also very cool looking. Do you know who made it? Try asking Richard at Route6x6.com. He's posted pictures of other rare machines that many people had no idea about.

[whoosh]

Hi weenie,Lots of interest in your machine,Where did you buy it???It would be great if someone could identify it,just gotta get above those wheels and i am sure it will click with somebody.It looks different to wobbies.Whats that about bobcats and buckets?Is your machine fibreglass or plastic??Also anyone with a gun rack for a sierra trailboss for sale,would be hooogley interested.

[Weenie]

getting there

There are lugs inside the body which look like they may have had a frame sitting on, perhaps all the running gear was originally mounted on a frame which I don't have!
Yes wedge does seem befitting as a name for it, but that would be tooo easy! Surprisingly a mate found it on EBay and twisted my arm.
It will be great to work out what breed it is, I’m sure all the clues will get us there. Where’s Wobbies? Bobcat was joke Joyce! BTW..the machine is fiberglass. (above the wheels).

[whoosh]

Hi weenie,keep chipping away,I am sure someone will know what it is.Wobbies was a famous themepark in melbourne many years ago which had six wheel buggies similar to yours(melbourne,australia that is)Bet the bloke that told you about your machine is a great bloke???How many aussies are on this forum??We could get together and have some shrimp on the barbecue.I see you need a motor?What about a honda trike motor?Any one else with ideas?How come all these buggies are belt driven?Good luck on your venture weenie.
