HELP First time owner of 1970 attex 6x6! baker hill 7000 tranny issues

[kika6x6]

i just bought my first 6x6. i never even seen one before and i dont know much about it. it has a 433cc yamaha snowmachine motot with twin torque converter set up. It fires right up so the motor works fine...but the transmission? its a baker hill 7000 and i know nothing about it. but its not working right, the right side has no pull, like its not getting any hp or power or anything? I really wanna get this thing going and take it out but i know nothing about how to fix it mechanically...any info, ideas, etc would be great

Welcome to the forum. I know nothing about Baker Hill transmissions but I'm sure some of the Attex guys can chime in to help you out.

Well asking for a video is key here as it could be anything from adjustment to broken or missing pieces.

[Don]

Jim's right; a video will show us a lot as to what your problem is. The Baker/Hill is a pretty solid transmission, but once it's out of adjustment it just doesn't work. There's a manual on this site for the transmission here http://www.6x6world.com/forums/conte...r-manuals.html The transmission section has a lot of information. Good luck!

can i please get a copy of the baker hill 7000 manual please. i cannot find it anywhere

[Don]

Here's the link to the Attex manual page. The first generation machine is covered by the third manual on the page. http://www.6x6world.com/forums/conte...r-manuals.html

i cannot get it apart. do i hang it from the side that has the pully and disk or the side with just a disk?? it will not budge

[kika6x6]

it says that trans is a 5000 is it pretty much the same as the 7000

[Don]

Yes; same basic pieces, but the shaft size on the 7000 is a larger diameter.

Thanks. I'm having one hell of a time trying to figure out why the right side won't pull. The left side has power but the right doesn't? I haven't even got to ride it yet and this is my first machine... Do u know where I can find a used trans for one of these?

Before you go there, the 5000 was notorious for breaking shafts, the 7000 was much better. It is possible the one side is;
Rusted stuck
Needle bearings bad
Stripped sun gear or planetary gears
Bad roller bearings
Broken shaft is possible

If your chains are not stuck on affected side and machine rolls free.

. If you have first checked that the brake pucks are infact doing what they should on each side as one disc drives and one disc brakes, and found that it is internal remove from cradle and inspect the innards of the discs.
You can preliminarily check functions by placing in neutral and spinning each side of trans which should spin freely, next place in gear and should not spin freely but turn with internals of trans drag, next on each side with in neutral hold inner disc and turn outer disc to feel drag of planetary gears.

Hope this makes sense

[kika6x6]

it spins freely when its in neutral and when its in gear...do you have any idea what i could be?

anyone?? i want to take it out on mothers day....

Grabbing both inner discs and trying to work them against each other will tell if the shaft is broken or possibly is the sun gear is stripped. They should be hooked together as one and have to spin the same way. If they are able to be spun in different directions it's internal, if not it's outside in either the final drive of the planetary or again in the brake pucks system.

Again a video of what it's doing could be key.

Let me try to explain operation of the outside again. The inner discs are your output discs, pushing the sticks forward the brake pucks lock up that disc forcing the planetary to drive the outer disc and propel the machine. Pulling the stick backwards lock up the outer disc and activate the braking steering action of the machine, the inner discs can spin freely with the speed of the driven clutch. If the brakes do not lock up the inner disc it will not move, if the outer discs do not unlock it will not move.

thank you. i have the trans pulled out ill see what i can do about a video
