Sound off with your Max type, Serial #, and Year

[CBass]

I have been told that the newer Max II's have different inside diameter on the inner bearing. Also they should have the snap rings to hold your sprokets into place instead of the set screws. Another up grade is the metal base throttle handle instead of the older all plastic throttle handle.

I supposedly have a MaxII, 2004. But after all these posts I am wondering.... Serial # 19134. 16hp briggs vanguard and square headlights...What do all you guys think? oh and I have splined axels but inner and outer bearings are different inside diameters

Talked with Jay at RI my Max is a 2002 Max IV with factory track option Serial # 18536. It was originally sold by Bob at BC Wheels in Wyocena WI.

IMG_0112.jpgIMG_0111.jpgI wanted to hijack this thread and add some info on old maxII tubs. I came across a maxII with the serial # in the 500's, I'm guessing that is early 70's. It still had the #40 chain on the axles. The lower tub has a very different looking backside. This is the second tub like this I've seen. I wonder if the cut outs were for a jet drive???

Jim, those were provisions for dual propellers. I think jpswift1 posted some photos. I'll see if I can find them.

Edit: Here is a thread from Jeff http://www.6x6world.com/forums/max-a...ropellers.html but I thought there were photos somewhere that actually showed the propellers.

I just checked on my Max IV with RI ---when I purchased was told it is a 95 but RI informed me that it is a 93 with a serial number of 10161. Two years doesn't make a difference to me---I love it!

The folks at Recreatives believe that there are technical drawings for the gear boxes that were driven off the two rear axles to power the dual rear propellers. I don't know if these were ever in production or not though. All of the tubs like that were ABS plastic before they went to HDPE.

Called the nice people at Recreative today, they said my RIM 4 seater #10539 was made in December 1976. Did they call them Max's back then?

[jpswift1]

They sure did. RIM, which was just the name for the early Max IV's. RIM stands for Recreation Industry Military, if I remember correctly. And they've always been called Max ever since Recreatives started in 1969.
