Max II Track rails

[sidecarrick]

Hi, New Member here with a Max II. I'd like to know if anyone has the dimensions of the track rails. I'd like to add a snow plow, and I understand that track rails are a must to not bend your axels. Thanks

The original plow plates just tie front and center axle bearings together. For just a plow I like this design. Track vehicles and later models had a bracket on the front cage. I may have a set of plates for a 62mm bearing Max II. Plow plates fit over bearing flanges and are held on by the mounting nuts. There is an angle piece that goes under bottom of tub. Ive made several sets over the years.

I have a 94 Max, how do I tell if I have the 62mm bearings? How much to make me one or can you send me the dimensions? Thanks

94 should be 62mm. Quick check on max bearings is measure OD of the locking collar. 1.75”= 62mm. 2.18=72mm. I just make 4 plates that match the bearings and weld angle iron on bottom with lip under tub. I moved 3 years ago and haven’t even unpacked a lot of old max stuff. I’ll look for the plates I had.

I just brought a Max ii home last Saturday, 01/23/21. To my great surprise and delight, it has an axle brace. It is the type you mentioned, tieing the front and center axles together. It doesn't extend back past the center axle. My question is how do I attach a snowplow to this? I am getting a little ahead of myself, still need to install a winch, and probably a body band. But I can't see in any of the pictures how the snowplow attaches to the axle brace.

Thanks

Can you show some pictures of this? I see what countryMFG sells for the Max IV but they don't sell one for the Max II. I need to understand the design as best as possible if I'm going to try and fabricate one... unless you know somewhere people sell them?
