OK, so I have a couple questions. I understand in order to run tracks on the max you need the extensions and bearing cages. I have all but given up on that for this winter since finding this stuff used seems to be next to impossible and it's ridiculous from RI. But I do want to get a snow blade on this unit. The winch install looks fairly straight forward. I have seen several designs homemade and the factory setup from RI on this site. Homemade certainly seems to be the way to go considering the price. And from what I understand the bearing cages have the mounts for the snow blade. What I can't seem to find is if you can make your own mounts and bolt them on with the front flanges, OR do you need to have the bearing cages? And if you can does anyone have any good pictures or drawings of them?

1 more thing. I have a set of these

Amphicat tracks

They came with my '78 argo (being restored). But if they were to fit my Max II would I need to worry about bearing cages or wheel extensions?
