90psi on a Briggs & Straton is right where it should be.

@smokierspy Год назад

Looks to be a Tecumseh but yes 80-90 psi at cranking rpm should be fine . They’ll run all the way down to 45-50

@Military-Museum-LP Год назад

There was a 70’s show on Saturday morning they used ATV’s. It was called the Banana Splits. I’m trying to find a clip of them riding the 6x6s.

There was a kids show I loved back in the late 60's that used those things. I think the show was called The Banana Splits. Anybody else remember it or am I going senile?! Anyway, another great find. You have got quite a retirement fund growing right there.

@davewatt5215 11 месяцев назад

Banana Splits used Amphicats, invented/built originally in Streetsville, Ontario, Canada by Ron Behoo who was on Johnny Carson with one in the late 60s and also gave one to Ronnie Hawkins and John lennon. Google it

@volusia407 Год назад

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.

@josephcarino5829 Год назад

I had the same exact unit 25 years ago Sold it for 300 Dude drove it home

@2vintage Год назад

Haha that's awesome

@eviegut696 Год назад

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!!

@Zappy1210 Год назад

Man, haven't seen one of these since about 1990. A friend had one, it actually floated really well too. He used it for duck/goose hunting in the swamps. It had paddle tires on it and basically would go easily through anything. Nice find!

@snowyowl7042 Год назад

@Dobemandan Год назад

That float bowl repair is because originally it had a spring-loaded push button drain that usually leaked. Someone obviously just welded it stop it from leaking anymore.

@DoJoRa3 2 месяца назад

Truth. Draining wasn't it's main function though. It was a 'tickler' to let air out and fuel into a carb that was empty.

I have a 69 4x4 Gotcha Scrambler model i bought a few.years back and did a bunch of work to it. It is almost impossible to find any information about them or parts. My buddy works at a machine shop and had to have him make some brake components for me. Got it running and working and now it just sits in the shed. But i have never seen another one since.

Ya know, if you take apart that jumper box. On the circuit board you'll find a blk cylindrical thingy about the diameter of a finger, its the piezo buzzer, it'll have a small hole in the top that a small piece of ordinary scotch tape will reduce the volume of annoyance by about 50%.

@waffalobill Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@MrHLVW Год назад

I assume you know that pump will siphon as well if place the pan below the tank it will suck all the fuel out.

@DoJoRa3 2 месяца назад

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. 😂

@guitarjeff55 15 дней назад

We sold those are Montana we were the western dealers primarily out of Great Falls, Montana. Our shipments would come into a town called chotaeu it's hydraulic base the steering so series of cables that Clint lock off from the hydraulic unit to lock each side, one to drive the other one to pivot it came with a 12 hp Tecumseh four stroke the only two colors we got with the coot was yellow and red. The coot came in two greens, one red and one yellow. The coot was really something special as well. It had a high range in the low range. The low range was 16 to one gear. Racial leaves to drive it up to the edge of a concrete building under its own power drive it to where it was completely vertical before flipping under its own poweras a demonstration
