Attex parts

[North Country Tough]

How available are parts like throttle cables,and has anyone tried Argo 11/4 axle conversion,I will be pulling a perfect set of axles out of my Avenger to install the HDI conversion jus wondering they would make great axles for my upcoming Superchief.NCT

Over the last few months I have converted 2 of my Attex machines to run the Argo axles. I can't post a link from my phone but a search for 1-1/4 Axle upgrade should find it. On my ST-400 based machine, I had to extend the splines on 2 axles by almost 2 inches and lost 2 inches of treadwidth overall. On my 4chain machine, I spaced all of the right side and left front inner bearings out by 2 inches from the frame and built 2inch wheel spacers for the left center and rear axles. This kept me from needing to extend the splines, and allowed me to keep the stock width of the machine.

How available are parts like throttle cables

I'm using Max throttle cables and throttle handles/levers on 5 different Attex machines. They're much improved over the older Attex units. They have several different lengths for different machine/engine combinations.

I'm using Max throttle handle and throttle cable as well on my Attexes. They work very well and are readily available through Recreatives Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511

Thanks Guys,I will try and find that upgrade,as far as any machining that's not a issue,and the axles being removed were from my dual wheel setup and have very long studs so a spacer would be easy,now what hybrid sprockets did you use and chain combo, did you use the Argo double seal outer set up,what would you think about the HDI bearings for the hull?I intend to use the machine this summer with the stock Attex setup and amass the components for a winter upgrade one of many planned,so I have the time to collect parts and also disassemble my Avenger,I know some people are saying WHY would I go to this extent for a old machine but you must understand that I have wanted a Attex since I was young, time,family,job,and time constraints put it on the back burner and then boom they were out of business,and in Ontario there just weren't any,family is grown,job is something I do for fun when I want,time constraints are few,the Avenger is a fine machine and will always be the workhorse at the cottage,I need fun I need something to make the adrenaline flow and something not seen round here anyway,serious engine upgrade in the future and it will be a two stroke.NCT

Hey NCT,

I have Whipper's axles in two of my machines as well as RI's trottle cables and handles. (Thanks Swift)

You should try to get to Ashtabula this year and see all these upgrades for yourself.

What is this upgrade,and where is Ashtabula?NCT

The axles in my Li'l Truck are 1 and 1/4 inch and splinned. Similar to installing the Argo axles. My modified Superchief has the same upgrade inside the machine and a full suspension outside the tub. Whipper makes both upgrade kits for 2nd and 3rd ganeration Attexes.

Ashtabula is a city in NE Ohio. We've been gathering there the last few years at the end of spring to race.

I'll be driving about 400 miles myself. We have/had people travel much further than that. It's worth it!

Gees, 20,098 seems sooooo long ago Going to miss riding & racing with you guys. If you can make it NCT, GO. If you're in need of some fast paced FUN, you will not regret it.

Here is a link to the thread: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/gener...e-upgrade.html I mentioned early in the thread what I was using for sprockets. Sadly, the parts I was using have been on backorder for some time, and I had to buy 4 of the more expensive ones mentioned. The hole in the frame is too small to pass an ecentric collar through and I didn't want to open it up and risk weakening the frame. This was my reasoning for not going with the Argo bearing flanges. I just ordered flanges to fit a Max II from buffalo bearing and drilled them for the bolt pattern I needed. I also had to space the outer bearings out a bit to keep the inner races from rubbing on the frame.
