went to get a 6 wheeler and came back with 9

[racerone3]

i went to pick up a terra tiger yesterday and the guy gave me this thing too. should be usefull around the yard when i get a running engine for it

[Mike]

Sweet! Now let's see you test it to see if it's amphibious

[racerone3]

think i'll pass

if that's the next test, i may take my time on finding an engine!!

[Mike]

haha!

If you use your imagination it looks like a 3 wheel chopper. Maybe a nice Briggs v twin with straight pipes will complete the illusion.

[racerone3]

i'd love to cram a v twin in there, but there is almost no room for an engine. the tecumseh that was in it is the smallest thing i've ever seen with a 1" shaft. i have an 8 hp briggs (old cast iron) that looks like it will fit. that will work till i get another electric start something.

[racerone3]

i managed to shoe horn that briggs in the "chopper" tonight. it took a heat wrench and death wheel, but i have clearance on everything. next i'll have to drag it to the parts store and try some belts... they love to see me coming!!!
my parents are coming from NY this weekend for a visit so hopefully i can talk dad into a no brakes, working the throttle with a string test drive. things like that are a lot more fun with company!!!

[jpswift1]

Sounds good! Where are your folks from in NY? They should pick up another 6 wheeler and bring it down for you!

[racerone3]

they are just west of albany, so almost as far from their house to buffalo as it is from my house in NC. i wish they would though... looks like some nice stuff at your place!!

[jpswift1]

There is a Sierra Trail Boss around Albany on Craigslist and there are two Amphicats in the Boston, Mass area that they could pick up for you.

Please ignore Jeff. He is ridiculously in touch with every scavengable (sp?) 6 wheeler in the north-western hemisphere. He called me earlier, bummed out about some free piece of junk in Washington, and a derelict Max II in Alaska for $50. I have him seeking professional help, and we're all working with the doctors to up the dosage on his meds.

[racerone3]

and i was just starting to admire him for being so up on it... perhaps he can help me find a project hustler. i drove to buffalo to get my terra tiger, so nothing is out of the question!!! till then i have to keep working on this silly 3 wheeler or wait for lawn mower season to come back around!!

Mike, I dont think there is any doctor or drug in the world that could help cure my 6wheeler illness, although I appreciate your efforts, haha. I drove to Alabama to get my Hustler BIGFOOT and I would do it again in a second if another great machine like that popped up. Our friend and moderator, Mike said that by 2018 every AATV ever produced would be restored at the rate we're all going.




BUY MORE 6 WHEELERS!

[racerone3]

jeff, i'm pretty new to the 6x6 scene but hopefully in a few years i'll be able to build up a collection and help with the 2018 restoration deadline. the terra tiger is fun, but lack of reverse is a bummer. i'm gonna get a hustler for a family ride , then an attex to go like a bat out of hell... oh man, maybe i need to get the dosage on my meds checked

[Mike]

... oh man, maybe i need to get the dosage on my meds checked

I agree...you ONLY want two more? There MUST be something wrong with you
