you cant eliminate them because they alteratly controle one side of diferential or the other to afect brakeing or power delivery to that sides wheeles, you might make em last longer by expirementing with diferent friction matireals,
many people use automotive disc brake pade cut with hole saw as pucks, mr clark has some made specificly fore attex calepers, but i don't know if it is same as oridganel equipment attex used.
my first attex was a 208tt that had never had brakes replaced and i found my pucks were something like bronze, prehaps an oil bearing bronz like bushings are made from, there were long lasting as compaired to the metalic automotive disc pads drilled with hole saw. |

i was wondering if there was a different tranny that i could install in it. something from another 6 wheeler.
but that was something i was thinking off, useing brass as pucks. seems like they wouldn't wear as fast.
i was also thinking of hookind up disc brake calipers from a dirt bike, would need 4. with master cylinders and all the rest of the stuff. might get a better feel from it. |

you can try the brass but make shure it dosent burn up the steal disc's at the same time.
hydralics will grab better and all that but that would likely reduce the feal part, your currend design gives the best feal, the only thing a chaing of calipers can inprove on is more serfice area, with more serfice area pads will last longer. |

thats what i was worried about. if the discs wear then i WILL have to change out the tranny. but i was thinking more about bronze bushing stock, thats oil inpregnated. |

ok but keep an eye on it.
the oil bearing bronze idea i had i havent had a chance to try out my self. only my memory's frome the years ago when i had one of my attex trany apart, it's pucks looked like the same stuff bushings are made from.
ritchard clark offers pucks for attex but im not shure what there made of. |

It takes 25 feet for one of the newer style machines, and I don't imagine it would take any more for the TT. Just a word of advice: Don't buy the cheap chain from a tractor supply house or other source. It stretches out so fast you'll be out of adjustment and replacing it in no time. |

what name brand chain should i be looking for then? all i can find in bulk is the no name chain. i would like to get an o-ring chain but they don't make it in a 420 or a 41 chain. |

I use either Diamond or US Tsubaki (sp?) chain. Both are very good quality and around the same price. For stock 208TT sprockets you'll want #40 chain. |

i wasn't sure on the chain i haven't looked at the size of it in awhile. i know it was either a 40, 41, 420 there all pretty close in size, but i'll make sure of it when i go and order some. and they are the original chains.
the one piece tires? is there a way to save them other than patching the crap out of them? i would like to keep them but 4 loose air and the other 2 are starting to dry rot. if i can't save them i have access to used 3 and 4 wheeler tires. what would be a good size tire to get. and what type of tire. i have a set of 22X10X8 tires and rims that i made hubs up for and bolted them on and they clear, but i think if i put them on the back they'll hit the body. |

the chain is #40,
what ever tires you settle on they all must be the same diamiter, we all wish the o.e.m. type 1 piece tires were esyer to maintain,
they gave a great ride and dispite there bald looking tred patteren they had prity good grip, the secret i beleave was in there incredably low psi. and soft tred portion of carcess, they could conform the serfice as they moved along, grabing every root,rock or stick on a trail,
todays much deeper trted patteren tires with there not very flexable carcasses not only provide harsher rides they do not conform to the trail to achive ther grip, but rather rely apon there ability to dig until they hit terain that fits into ther treds and holds long enoph to provide traction,
you should look for the softest psi tires for the ride caricteristics and remember your attex would need specialy made axels for the hard type tires, o.e.m. axels will bend esaly with hard tires, i beleave special axels can be made at local machine shop from crome molly, the stuff hydralic pistons are made from. |

Shawn,
I've found a bit of luck with a brand of ATV tire called the "Lumberjack" made by Nan-Kang. They have a very forgiving ride, and I can run them at about 2-3 psi without bead-locks. I'm running them on a second generation Attex (ST/400 style body) with plenty of clearance. They are 22x10x8s, and I don't know if the clearance would be that much different on the TT. They are a knobby tire, but still steer (skid?) very well on that machine, and should do the same for your TT. They're very reasonably priced; I think you can find them for under $40 per tire in places.

mike,
i had a set of those lumberjacks on the back of my old 3 wheeler. the tires that i put on the 208 were more of a rounded shape knobby, so they are taller than a normal 22 inch tire.
where would one find wheel bearings(size and type), headlights (don't care how they plug in just that they are the same diameter to fit in the body), and tail lights.
thanks |
