I went to Walmart over in the automotive section and got a pair of 4" halogens for $35 that fit the hole nicely. They come with some mounting brackets that you can bend to make work. Put a couple...
Your throttle cable needs to move 90 degrees so it is the correct direction to attach to the carb. You will need to disconnect the linkage from the governor to the carb. Then fabricate a plate to...
I found the best deals on replacement tanks at a store that sells off road parts for VW's and sand rails. I found a 5gal stainless Steele replacement tank for my Max II for $120 with brackets.
I also did the same motor swap. How did you remove the governor? Some pictures would be nice.
Thanks for all the advise. It sounds like the split shifter mod will make the most difference and it looks pretty simple. It will also allow me to spin it around on my trailer so I don't have to...
Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure if the belt is slipping but that could be it. I just installed a new motor and don't know if it is adjusted correctly. I will tighten the belt a little to see...
I have been having trouble shifting my T-20 on my Max II. It is very hard to shift from neutral to forward or reverse (with the machine on or off). I have to rock it back and forth to get it into...
Have you thought about building the tub out of fiberglass and foam. Or lining the aluminum tub with sheets of foam. Then it would float for sure. I built a 5' x 10' hover craft with 4" of foam and...
I added a full cage for several reasons. First for roll over protection, but more importantly for somewhere to hold on too while getting in and out. It also works really well at knocking branches...
I live over in Riverside. Contact me I am always looking to ride.
Here are a few photos of the finished cage out in it's natural environment. I also replaced the head light and tail lights with LED's. The head lights are 4" spot lights from Walmart. They only...
The tubing I used was the black pipe from Home Depot. It is heavier than I wanted but it will bend with the pipe bender from Harbor Freight. (if you fill the tube with sand first) It weighs in at...
I finally finished my new roll cage. It makes everyone "feel" safer. The grab bar gives the passenger something nice to hold on to. 156091561015611
I used the same engine in my MAX II. It works perfect. It does require an additional hot wire for the solinods on the carbs. It works as another kill switch kind of. Did you take off the muffler...
Yes you could do it that way too. There are two other brackets that have to be cut off and redone as well. Then there are the welded on nuts that the heat shield screws into. I thought that cutting...
In the picture the exhaust is mounted forward. Here is an updated picture with the modified exhaust pointing to the rear. I haven't been able to get a top speed report yet. However, the increased...
I just replaced the 16HP Tecumseh engine in my 1990 MaxII. I used a 23HP v-twin predator engine from Harbor Freight. It bolts right on with out any modification and the belt lines right up. I had...
I found that you just need to pound them in with a hammer. The C channel will bend to accommodate them.
