Hello,
Got a Max II, getting to the stage of needing to buy replacement axles and sprockets.

Looked on max6x6.com but they are very expensive and shipping to the UK is also very expensive.

Model is a Max II, 16hp B+S, 2001

Hello All,

Just a quick one - can someone confirm the dimensions of the drive belt are 44 7/8 long and 1 3/16 wide?

Just about to order a replacement...
Thanks

Gone back and double checked, the belt my supplier said was right is actually 46 11/16 long (should be 44 7/8, right?)

I could swap for a 44 5/8 long but 1 1/5 wide (should be 1 3/16?)

Thanks for the replies, good advice.

Definitely believe in good pictures and advert.
Will try out Flash, thanks.

One of the things I've got planned is sanding and spraying any rust patches on...

Thank you very much johnboy, that's very helpful!

I'm fairly sure my serial no is 7000 and something, but can't remember without going out to have a look.
It's a 2001 model.

The centre wheel axle (under the jackshaft) has three sprockets in one lump (one joining axle to jackshaft, one to front axle, one to back axle).

I am trying to remove this big sprocket thingy to...

Hello all,

Hello,

However the new belt (matched by local firm) is about an inch or so longer than the belt I have taken off.

If...

Ok, thanks.

Ok, get that bit, but my problem is physically getting to the axle - do I have to remove the jackshafts?

I have a II.

Thanks for the reply, will do that.

Hello,

I am sure I have seen an article somewhere on how to replace the drive belt, but can't find it now.
Does anybody know of one, or can anybody give me any tips?

Thanks.

Hello,

Doing a bearing change, Max II. Can anyone help me - how do you get to the axles under the jackshafts? Need to loosen the sprockets to get the axle out.

Would appreciate any advice....

4 out of the 6 outer collars are stuck on good and proper, so am going to get the axles out the machine and take a grinder to them.

Air chisel sounds a good idea. Nearest I have to one is a SDS Drill :hmmmm2:

Would also be interested in replies to this - I am thinking of wiring in some extra LEDs.

Hello,

Doing a bearing change today. Managed to remove some of the collars fairly easily, but a couple were really stuck on. Doused them with penetrating oil but still don't seem to shift. Any...
