Tear it up Jet

[Felineman]

so just picked up this nice little toy, 39 cc rupp kohler engine 27 hp 4x4 26x12x12 tires and a dry weight of 985 lbs, has original engine but need head gasket done. Obviously need body work but shouldn't be too hard with 16 gauge steel body and fiberglass top body Will keep you all posted

That's cool.
How is it geared. What's the top speed you think? Any suspension? So many questions....

 

[landuse]

Nice!! Are you still living off-grid?

YUP, AWD 4x4 26 x 12 x 12 tires, top speed about 50 km and about 12 in water. Chain drive to front, 18 gauge steel body with fiberglass upper. Just went to burls creek Barrie auto flea market and got a race seat with 5 point harness some led lights and a few other things for it but I'm working 6 days week so not much time to work on this, but we all know how quick I can get things done when I do have the time.

Awfully cool man

running numbers 377 rotax max rpm is 8500 377 kohler is 3500 so the rotax would not only be better for speed but is a much tougher engine, BUT I would have to rip it out of amphicat which i'm trying to sell but nobody is interested in it so might as well keep the kohler in storage and go for power as I won't sell this toy anytime soon.

Thoughts?

Will post pics as I take them and does anyone have any info on these, seems that they are harder to find info then the amphicat wads. Looking for technical info like torque specs and adjustment settings and wiring diagrams.

last pic for today, getting some metal Monday and slowly working out the rock damage out of the pieces that can be saved.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Wow. I had some urges on the amount of pics you posted. It was glorious.
Then as I looked through them, I was saddened by the amount of neglect that poor creature has endured.
To see it restored would bring a tear to my eye.

Most of the dents are gone slowly welding it back up with new steel and getting ready for an engine swap, will post pics at end of day.

 

[Felineman]

almost have all steel fixed but regular job called said they needed me to stop hosing the dog, so it will probably be Sunday before I get back too it, IF I'm not working on my truck, blew 3rd gear out of the transmmission so have to change it again.

Maybe Sunday you can post some more pics.

Hope to get some time to work on it this week but seems the rain is back, I've counted 64 days of NO rain since April first this year, also have to change a transmission in my truck as 3rd gear is completely shot.
