  • Cutting and Attaching the foam

  • How to make your own seat.


    Take the new foam piece that you purchased and again use the old material as a template. Since the foam is hard to write on just use a Sharpie to rough in the dimensions. Now cut the foam to the correct size. I found that the foam cut very well with a razor knife while on the concrete floor. I have also seen several people use kitchen knives or electric knives. That is really up to you and you could probably even use scissors if you had to.

    Note: The foam hasn’t been cut yet in this picture.



    Now that all of the pieces are cut we are ready to start assembling the seat. We will be using 3M spray adhesive to get the foam to stick:



    Take the foam and place it bottom side up next to the seat base which needs to be right side up. Spray the adhesive liberally to get a good coverage. Wait about 3 minutes and then stick the two pieces together. Be careful to get the foam lined up well with the edges though.

    Note: This picture is just showing the coverage of the spray adhesive on the foam.

    • Adjusting Chains and Jackshafts on a Max II
      by Mike
      For anyone new to six wheelers, this is a short video showing you how to adjust the chains in a Max II. There are eight chains that need to be adjusted. The chains between the front and middle axles and the chains between the rear and middle axles are tightened using the ratcheting chain adjusters. The ones in the front are adjusted by pushing the adjusters down. The ones in the rear are adjusted by pulling the adjusters up. The remaining four chains are adjusted by moving the jackshafts. ...

    • Repairing a Grooved Axle
      by Planter Bob
      Do you have a grooved axle and a shallow wallet? Well, here's the ticket for solving the problem without burning up the Visa card.

      Repairing a grooved axle on the cheap: 1. Remove the axle. 2. Clamp it firmly in a smooth-jawed vice, with the groove about 6" from the jaws of the vice. 3. Using a wire brush in a 4" grinder, clean all the area in and around the groove, making it free of rust and gunk. Use a flat file gently on any high spots. 4. Use paper towels and wipe down the...

    • Upgrade your Argo Conquest bearings to HDI
      by Rock Doctor
      Well, I finally got this little project started. I think everything is going to work out good, but there is still some testing to do. I ran into a couple little issues, but nothing that can't be dealt with. Sorry about the length of the vids, it was hard to keep the time down on a project like this. I have only uploaded the first part so far, but PT-2 will be edited into this post tomorrow if possible. I have to say here that I'm NOT SURE if this will work with ALL Conquests. I have noted that some ...

    • Bronco Seat for your Six Wheeler
      by racerone3
      i've needed to redo the seats in my wild wolf for as long as i've had it. the seat back was the original and shot, and the bottom was something i had quickly thrown together. last week after months of my son begging me to take him for a ride in my old bronco, i finally got the back seat down from the rafters of my shop and bolted it in. later that night it dawned on me that it would make a pretty good seat for the Wolf. i checked with the place i'd gotten my seat covers form when i built the bronco...

    • Used ATV Buyer's Guide
      by Mike
      General - Purchasing your first six wheeler can be exciting and it is something that many of us remember well; Seeing it for the first time, the test drive, towing it home, taking it for a spin around the yard and realizing how quickly you can tear up the grass. But it can also be an intimidating process especially if you are not purchasing new. For some, a new six wheeler is simply out of the question. Whether it is financial concerns or simply that the six wheeler you are looking for is no...
