If you guys want argo flanges on a budget, might try dealerships or anyone servicing them. They commonly buy new flanges with seals rather than refreshing the old ones. Other than the seals, I check them for flatness on a table saw deck and true them with a belt sander. Esp important if you use the cork gaskets. Otherwise with silicone, Whipper plumbing putty, wouldn't be so critical. Seals are common sizes.

Wow, that sure is going to turn out nice. Keep up the nice work. Cant wait to see the end result.

Thanks guys! Here are some updates showing Whipper's 4140 splined solid 1.25" axles on the Attex green machine project. These axles look absolutely bulletproof and I highly recomend them to anyone who wants to strengthen up the drivetrain on any AATV. The axles are sticking a little bit farther out than they will be when everything is tightened down because this was just a mock up of what it will look like. Notice all of the Max II parts that I used on this machine. (Recreatives drive belt, drive and driven clutches, rubber engine mounts, engine brackets, throttle cable, and throttle handle. I built the Attex like this due to the fact of ease and availibility of the interchangable parts with the Max.

Jeff,
I'm glad to see your back working on the Attex. This is going to be one mean machine when you're done. Whipper's stuff looks even better on the frame if that's possible. I'm green (Attex green) with envy! I assume the splines will be inside the frame when everything is done?

Thanks Mike! The splines will indeed be inside of the frame rails when I tighten everything down. I just had to temporarily set everything together because it was driving me crazy to see how the axles would look on the frame. Whipper did an A-1 job on all the parts. I have worked on many AATV's over the years and I will say that if anyone ever needs any axles made, Whipper's stuff is the best out there!

Looking great Jeff. Looks like you ought to have it finished in time to join us South of the Mason-Dixon in April.

Jeff,
That's some pretty hardware there. Very nice. I can't wait to see this project in person. When do you think you'll have it all back together? I need to see it.

Jeff,
Looks great, nice job!
I need to install a set of those brakes on my hustler.
That's a work of art, JP. I can't wait to see the completed project!
