The ability to run bearing cages for strength with tracks is the main reason. I guess I'd have to weigh my options, modify my frame while I have it out to accept the 72mm bearings vs fabricate costum...

Modify as in how? Is the bolt pattern the same? If so would it just require increasing the size of the hole to accept the bearing? I'd like to add bearing cages too to be able to run tracks safely,...

Well after many years on hold I'm finally going to start work again on my 1980 Max IV serial #6448. Years ago I removed the frame from the body doing so I had to cut the original axles, two (2) of...

I am considering cheaper options for replacing all six (6) hollow tube axles on my early 1980's Max IV w/ solid stock axles. The cheapest price I've found for complete axles so far is $165 plus $20...

Thanks for the input, I'll probably get a set of 5x4.5 flanges and have the local fab shop make me some new solid axles using one of the old hollow axles as a template. Also while I have axles out to...

Has anyone ever made their own or had a fab shop make new axles for their Max? I have 1970s Max IV that currently has the hollow axles that are smooth, I'd like to replace them w/ solid axles but at...

Thanks

The clutch is from an 1979/80s Max IV.

I was changing out the stock yellow spring in my T20 clutch for a red spring last night. During disassembly of the clutch one of the Teflon guides got melted a little. While I've got the clutch apart...

I am rebuilding my 1979/80 T20 for my Max IV. I've got both halves done minus the center carrier plate. I was wondering if the hole in the carrier plate goes towards the bottom. Also has anyone ever...

I have an old Warn RT15 winch which is rated for 1500#. I was wondering if this winch would be too small for a Max IV. I read a lot of guys are running a 3000# winch.

Thanks,

Is anyone running an 18 HP B&S opposed twin? If so how is the performance and is it stock or modified? I have a 1979-80 Max IV that I'm considering putting an 18 HP B&S opposed twin, from an old...

The winch that Harbor Freight sells, Bad Lands Winch, have a pretty good review. I have a 3500# that works good and my father has a 12000# one on his trailer and loves it.

Yes I am from Hornell, NY. My original plan for the Max IV was to make it into a very capable machine for traveling onto frozen bodies of water for ice fishing. Over the past year of research on the...

Does anyone have any information on the early style factory track setup for the Max II and Max IV? I recently found out what I thought might have been some "homemade front and rear bumpers" on my...

Does anyone have any info on this early style track setup? I think it would be neat to restore them if I could track down at least the major parts, the front and rear bogie wheels and axles for...

You are correct, it is the one that was for sale on the Rochester Criagslist. I bought it and I am slowly bring it back to life. Thank you for the info.

I bought this Max IV a little less than a year ago, I believe it's a 1980's serial # 6448, that I have in the process of restoring back into working condition. It has these tube bumpers on it both...

I'm not sure what type of AATV ya have but here is a link to some mounts that one can buy for a Max IV. At the very least it can give ya an idea on how to fabricate some type of mount. It's the ninth...

John,

Thanks for the info and advice. If I've got my concept right, the tire chains with their smaller circumference outer chains should stay on without "peeling off". Guess I need to attempt it...
