Mini 6x6

[Castro]

So after 7 hours of driving we returned home with our new to us mini 6x6 (12x12 for now. There have been a number of upgrades done already by the previous owner, and after a little tinkering today I can tell younit may require some more. But it runs and drives ( rings just replaced in motor) and the drive train is new and upgraded. There was some issues turning but I suspect the tires are to blame. Here is a Video of my son maddox's first run.

That brought a smile to my face, I can only imagine how Maddox felt. Thanks for sharing

Thanks mike. The biggest problem now is keeping my 1.5 yo away.

i would be working on it right now it it didnt decide to snow. And I thought we where done with this stuff

Had to make new seats, hey said orange so that's what I made.

What does the drive train consist of? Is there a tranny? Or just a differential that allows skid steering in forward only. Just curious. Wouldn't mind making one for my kids.

[Castro]

There is a twist throttle for gas, forward motion begins with sticks pushed forward. When you do this it pushes a belt tensioner up and makes the belts grip. Pulling back either side will brake that side. No trans, just a couple of pulleys in free spin engaged by physical contact.

Does it have some sort of brakes? I would think that on hard surfaces it would require differential braking to steer.
You mentioned that it wasn't steering good because of the tires, the other day I was in TSC and saw some tires that might be just what you need. They look to be about the same size, but they have the V tread like rawhides. I think they are for small walk behind tillers. They might be just what you need.

Made another seat for leg area.


Here's a picture of what's left of the rear sticker

More videos. And yes it has breaks on both sides.

Race, is this like the sticker that was on Wyatt's machine? If I remember right, you were able to read the name on yours. Just really curious as to where these came from.

[Castro]

Me too! Any info would be cool just to now
