New here thought id start sharing some of the projects im currently working on and this should be starting soon so as inspiration I thought i would start a thread for it. For those and im sure there are many you would not have heard of a COOT before. Made in the USA in the 60's i only know of one other in the uk and thats my friends one and i want to beat him getting it up and running too.
Its 4x4 pivots in the middle to give articulation and is geared to climb up anything you point it at. Currently has a Kholer crappy 10hp i think petrol engine. ideally i was to put a diesel in it and possibly go hydraulic to ditch gearbox and variable speed drive then i can put engine somewhere better (ie in the back)
Its going to need a lot of the body replaced and i plan to make it 4 wheel steer as the lock is worse than a 109 landrover !!
anyway heres what it looks like now
