I think my rims are original to the MAX II (K-Locks?). The rims that were unseating regularly were the two rear rims, so I purchased a pair of new "BEAD LOCK" steel rims from Richard's Relics. They do look like the aluminum rim in the epic you sent. Same problem occurred so perhaps it is the tire shop that is not seating them properly, as you mentioned.
The machine is up in Michigan, and I live in Illinois, so I am only able to get there infrequently - hence not a lot of time to trouble-shoot. If I have to spend the money on new tires or rims (true bead-locks?) I will. The machine has been sitting for almost 2 years unused, and I'd like to use it duck hunting this fall.
What do you think I should do next?
Tom
