Default Wapiti Specs

Thanks Bob for posting that picture. This creature has a rear mounted FAGEOL bus engine, aluminium block, 6 cylinder inline with an overhead cam and an ignition system that appears identical to a2.5 ton G749 GMC. Track was about 2.5 to 3 feet wide, just flat belting with aluminium cleats bolted across it. I got several boxes of spares with it including new track hardware. Transmission is midship - again an unusual English automatic transmission with airshifters on the controls, controlled diff up front. It has a double set of upright tillers for steering / maybe brakes? Inside lined with plywood in robins egg blue. Very calming! Tires are just implement type tires. It got pushed and pulled around the yard at Levy's until they went broke and then it was heading for scrap- but it was running and like new when they got it!
