They look wide and low to the ground, so maybe ROP is not needed. Guess it depends on the terrain you are driving on. For 750 though, it doesn't sound like you could go wrong. Al you are always finding "good" deals. :beer:

I'm not sure that it would be possible for Coot to roll over unless it was really abused.

They are articulated in the middle. The brochure photo doesn't show it, but the front part of the unit and the back part are separated by an oscillating swivel so that the front right tire can go up 12" onto a rock and the other 3 wheels will stay on the ground with the two rear wheels still flat on the ground. The engine is also very low in the body. The body is actually two separate cabs, one in the front for the driver/passenger #1 and then one in the back for the rear passengers.

You'd really have to try to flip one of these things by crossing an extreme side hill to get it to tip.

The ones in the brochure are the 4-wheel ones. Like a early UTV! Sweet!

I drove one of these years ago, not any where nearly as refined as a modern UTV, but easily just as capable. No suspension, so kinda like a 4wd go-cart.

Well I am new here and am looking for a 4 wheel steer Coot to rebuild/restore. Could you help me with the one you speakof here? Trying to find one that is reasonably priced is a challenge.

Welcome to the forums. We have lots of folks here who like to restore older equipment. I've done tractors and a snowcat. That makes me a rank amateur among some of the guys. You'll find a lot of help and advice, but it may be hard to find what you are looking to restore.
