Originally posted by amphibious drew View PostVery cool Joe. Have you tried to run the other 2 yet.
Hi Drew,
Not yet. The engines look in better condition in the none runners. I'll play around with then over the next few days. The transmission in the runner will need going over. It doesn't want to shift, but the unit worked great for pulling the other two off the Trailer. Lot of
power.

Worked on the third PPT. Motor on this one not running. Pulled the Onan and used the CCW that Whipper gave to Brian and he gave to me. That engine runs nice. Pulled the seat, roll cage, fuel tank and engine cowling off this unit. The right steering clutch needs work. Undercarriage is in good shape. Upper body panels need work. Hat channels need replaced and a few bogie wheels need replaced.

Joe how about a video walk around of the vehicle. This is the first time seeing one of these machines....very nice.Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

Some parts are still out there. I've been in contact with, Bob Cantin who was the designer and still has primary and steering clutches. Granger.com has wheels that can be used to replace the original bogie wheels. The Transmission in one of the machines is a little hard to shift, but the other two seem fine. I'm sure whipper could fix one if need be.

Thanks for the walk around Joe. What were these machines used for?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"
