What have I got?

[United 6]

Hi Aussie Iron
I have just found a united 6 just like yours. They said it has been sitting in the shed for over 30yrs because no one could get it going. Well I found the problem, just a wire off the points had rubbed and was earthing out. Motor is now going good. Having a little bit of trouble adjusting the left hand drive. Took it for a run the over day, great in reverse, just the left side jumps out of gear in forward. I just need to find the time to adjust it more.
I am new to the 6x6 world. I saw this and thought it looked like fun.
Pity we didn't live a bit closer. I am in Nabiac NSW.
Every one calls my 6x6 the banana splits buggy.
Have you got yours going?

Wow, nice find United 6! If you get a chance I'd love to see some more pictures of them. Congrats on your new purchase and welcome to the site.

Will try and do pictures(not much good at computers). Don't know how much these things are worth but I picked this one up for $700, is that reasonable? I think I will get $700 worth of fun out of it.

$700 is well worth it! Looking forward to the pics.

Hi
Do you have any pics of the floats they tied to the united 6. How did you go getting yours going?

First post!

A United 6 was used in an episode of 1970's Aussie police drama "Matlock Police". I'll upload the footage to YouTube tonight - meanwhile, here are a couple of screen-caps:

Very cool! Thanks for posting that.
