    Many years ago my wife bought one. The front seat/floor comes out as one unit to service the drive line and many chains. It had a 7hp pull start but the gas tank was a round gas can that sat next to the engine. It floated very well and would climb right out of creeks. Each wheel has an over torque clutch to prevent chain breakage. If I remember right the “ hydraulic fluid “ was just atf. Very fun toy. It has two drain plugs in the back might want to check before swimming. Love the channel!!

    7hp Briggs. Should be sealant between upper and lower body since it was designed to be amphibious. I do have a copy of the original specification sheet if you want it.

    BTW, several have commented remembering the Banana Splits' Banana Buggies. You don't have one of those. The Banana Buggies were decorated Amphi-Cats. ...But in any of these old AATVs, because the tires WERE their suspensions, the tires had to be run as soft as possible. The originals had comparatively thin cases and their inflation pressures were virtually impossible to measure with a tire gauge. ...About 1-2 psi, but they were actually checked by measuring their circumference with a tape. Even as a 70 pound kid, I remember getting a kick out of the fact that I could put my foot on one of those tires (when properly inflated) and squash it almost to its internal (6" dia?) rim flange. 😂

    Seen a guy had one. Put paddle tires on it. Actually was slower in water than it was with reg tires. He moved them around so he had just 2 in front,middle,back. Made no difference. Worked better with worn out ag tires it came with. It did float great tho.

    • @amirlach
      @amirlach Před 11 měsíci

      You need to run the directional treads backwards so they scoup the water. Look at the argos. I had a Prarie Bobcat that had terra tires. I thought they were on the wrong way untill i tried swiming in my pond. Barely moved forwards so after about 15 feet in i shifted into reverse and it shot backwards. So back to the shop to swap the tires backwards. It would then swim surprisingly well considering it was an all metal tank like hull and quite heavy.
