I inherited an AMT600 from my grandfather and I am on my way to restoring the whole thing. I have some very basic questions for those of you who own one:<br>
<br>
1. Have you replaced your tires and what ones did you use?<br>
The manual says to use 22.5 x 10.00 - 8 for the front and 25 x 12.00 - 9 for the four in the rear. I just put on Deestones. a 22 x 11 - 8 in the front and 25 x 12 - 9 in the rear. <br>
<br>
Apparently there is quite alot of variation in what a 25x12-9 can look like. The Deestones are very donut shaped while Carisle's have a very flat contact surface with the ground.<br>
<br>
Right now my center tires are completely off the ground. I know that the middle axle rides higher than the front and back to make steering easier.<br>
<br>
2. This is not correct, right?<br>
3. Anyone else run into these problems?<br>
4. The 22x11-8 front tire should ride lower than a 22.5x10-8 right?<br>
5. What am I missing here.<br>
Since my brakes are shot. I have not driven it.<br>
6. Will the rear axle engage if the center is off the ground or will the center axle have all the power transferred to it and just spin?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

From the Technical Manual for the AMT 600:
0.64 mm (0.025 in.)
Hope that helps.
I dropped the cash and picked a Manual off of ebay. I am just starting my restoration but I think its going to be totally worth it.
