the duck 6X6 attex chief 400

[skull]

today l got a new project-- THE DUCK --it's ruff & tuff and need some TLC but l gotta a urge for one of these things clear back when the banana splits TV show was on in the 197O's.

needs a motor and other stuff but it was free, the guy lost his storage and told me come get it if l wanted it,,heck ya[cl

from all the info l can find it is somewhere around a 1973 model.

the pics that say the duck are not my attex

stay tuned,

Nice find. My uncle has one of those last I knew the trans went out and he didn't know anyone to fix it so it has been sitting there for years

I had an Argo back in the 70's. Kind of the same thing.
It was crazy fast and I used to up and over rock walls with it.
Not sure why it didn't kill me.[ddd

parts

surprisingly there is a lot of info around the web and parts don't seem to hard to get.

bolt pattern for the wheels from what l can find on line is 4 X 5 inch, so mopar and ford wheels should fit.

I remember something that kinda looked like that back in the 70's called an Ampha Cat. Can't find any pics but they looked a lot like an Attex.
Very cool!!

Ex boss of mine had one of those he hunted out of. Want to say it had a Kohler engine. Stick steering like those new lawn mowers, it would turn around in it's own tracks.

one of of my dads buddys sold those out of his heavy equipment shop , I'll see if I can get any info.

Nice find. I remember a lot of them, siimilar machines anyway, around here when I was a kid. They were notorious for having drive chain issues. Seems like they had about a half mile of it. Should make a fun buggy!

bling-bling

got a set of 4 14" weld Racing Draglite 90‑Series wheels, tires are 26 inches tall for the front & 25 inches tall for the rear and about 8 inches wide.

they Clear about a 1/2 inch in the rear and about an inch in the front[cl

not sure about middle tires yet, have to do some figuring out on that aspect.


post up some pic when l get all 4 on the duck, no room in the shop and summer in washington means more rain than you'd think---so much for that global warming around here[S

neat! there is a guy who lists a 6x6 on the local craigslist every couple months, I think about how fun it would be especially when we get the big rain storms and everything in the neighborhood floats.

progress

slow but made a little progress today, found a seat and got all 4 tires on and she we broke lose the chains so all 6 axles spin and when l find some tires/wheels for the middle axle she should rock.

almost most ready to pull the engine, the whole exhaust is not going to be used, were customizing and fabbing about 9O percent of it and a small muffler to keep the neighbors happy when l fire it up a midnight......

out

transmission is out and on the table for quick freshen up since it's anyone's guess when the thing was last serviced, guy l got from said he had it for 5 years and never touched it, just stuck it under a tree and let it sit uncovered .

preventive maintenance beats lots of $$$$$$$ down the road.
