Thanks Tbone9. I did run a 3/8" NC tap in first worked great and yes blue locktite, I am well done with red. :)
Hi, I got my new front axle , the snap ring type that takes a bolt in the inner end with a washer for extra retention. I failed to order the bolt and am afraid of ruining the threads unless I get it...
Hi, Does anyone know what the bolt size is that goes into the turned down end of the newer Max II axles that are splined and have the notches for snap rings. A bolt and large washer goes in there to...
Thanks Andy, I have been watching your site. Good to know you are setting up. :)
Hi, I see I have a bent axle on my Max II. It is a 2003 with the 23 hp Kohler Command. Is it possible to still buy the original splined axle or are all of them the snap ring style for securing the...
Mike, I have been looking at clutch illustrations and aftermarket vendors, it does indeed appear to be a 780 (1" shaft, 1/4" keyway). I see they are available and pretty reasonable. With Max these...
Your information is greatly appreciated Mike. How did you identify it as a Comet 780? I have been looking at various configurations and was hovering on the possibility of it being a 910. I couldn't...
Thanks Mike, I appreciate your advice. I was not aware you should not run it without a belt. I did about three quick stop/starts so I hope I didn't damage it. It did indeed stick closed but with a...
Well I finally got the courage to tackle my sticking clutch. I took the belt off and started it up. I found with very little revving it closed completely and stayed closed. I believe by some of the...
Thanks Gents, terrific information.
Trying to rationalize how the clutch works it would seem that in order for the machine to creep at an idle (again only by times) that the primary (engine) would have to be the one sticking. Would...
I have always eliminated the front chains with rubber tracks as well. The reason given to me is tires even new or depending on inflation will have different diameters so the front wheels serve as...
In your opinion would this be the primary (engine) or secondary (transmission ) assembly? I have a fair amount of some types of wrenching experience but clutches, transmissions baffle me. What...
Hi,
I have a problem periodically with my clutch in my 2003 Max II (23 hp Kohler). By times when I release the throttle the clutch remains engaged even though the engine is at an idle. The machine...
Thanks John. I envy your country in your region, not as much freeze up there! :)
Thanks Rod.
Thanks to all. I believe Mjbuck's response to be my case description. It was brutally cold and the garage was indeed warm. To add insult to injury the cable assembly goosenecks to its lowest point...
I followed your advice and blew some isopropyl alcohol thru it. It wasn't froze in the heated garage today and the inner cable moves very freely. I do see where and how it could have froze yesterday...
Thanks John. I found his site and see he has throttle cable assemblies don't know if they are the same (heated) for Kohler and Briggs both.
Does anyone know where you can buy OEM parts for Max ATVs now? I was to understand there was a struggle between a couple of companies for the rights. The last I bought was from Mudd Ox. I am hoping...
