How to build an angle iron body band.

How to build an angle iron body band The angle iron body band will strengthen the structure of your machine and also protect it again collision damage. It can also work for an attachment point for a roll bar or other structure such as a cab. I made mine for an Attex st300d but it will work with any aatv with a body seam. Jiggers for example don’t have the seam. Some models like the Max II have more bends but it’s all done the same way. If your machine is still equipped with a rubber bod...

I pulled my tracks off the other day, and found that I had 6 loose outer axle bearings. A couple of them were not too bad, and all of them would have been fine for a while. However, I had the parts and (I thought) a bit of time, before I was supposed to go for a ride with friends, so I replaced them. I ended up in a bit of a hurry. You won't find any white shop coats and clean hands in this vid, but if you want to see how to change a brng and seals on an Argo, you can check it out. Yes, I know ...

a few people were asking how i built the floor pan for my attex racer so i thought i'd just post it. the same bassic idea should work for other machines. i started with a peice of .090 aluminum 25 1/2 inches wide by 20 inches long. laid out all the cuts (first pic) and cut it out. on the inside where it goes around the laterals i punched the corners in a rotax punch with a 1" circle. the cutout for the foot brake got punched with a half inch. then use a band saw to make the cuts, and clean it up...

BEFORE YOU PULL! Practice using your winch before you get stuck. A real situation is no time to be learning how to use your winch. Make sure new wire rope is stretched before it is first used. Unspool the full length of the wire rope, leaving 5 wraps on the drum. Apply at least 500 pounds of tension.You can do this by setting up an anchor point and pulling your vehicle to it on a slightly inclined, flat surface and letting the vehicle roll. Whether you’re recovering another vehicle or pu...

-Only repair Polyethylene with Polyethylene -Heat an iron to 475-525 degrees -Apply heated iron to both surfaces simultaneously(one side of iron to damaged body and one side to repair piece) -Be sure not to melt completely through the surface to be repaired -A 1/8 inch bead around the edge of the iron is what you want to achieve -After both surfaces get a good melt, press together with 50lbs of pressure and hold for approximately 30 seconds or until cool *BE SURE NOT TO BURN YOURSELF WITH THE IRON ...

This first thing you do is disassemble the entire car. That's about a 20 minute job. Right now is the time to sandblast the frame & take care of any other maintenance problems. You will keep the same inner bearings, but the outer bearings will be the 62 mm O.D. (early Max bearings). If you want to do this conversion, you will need 2 drilling fixtures. One to drill the frame & one to drill the body.

With the frame out of the car, you bolt the frame fixture down with the 2 allen hea...

Max II 6x6 ATVs – Chain Guide Replacement The Recreative Industries Max II 6x6 ATV utilizes four Teflon chain guides to apply tension to the chains. These can wear out over time and will need to be replaced. You can replace the complete assembly but you can also save yourself some cash and just replace the Teflon. This article will walk you through the simple steps to do just that. While this article is specific to the Max II, it may also be applicable to other AATVs as well. At the ...

My goal for this modification was to get rid of the eccentric collars and setscrew type bearings due to failure problems. I have an older Max IV and have the smaller bearings so the thin wall on the eccentric part is problematic. My second consideration was to keep the axles fairly easy to remove. At first I looked into trying to upgrade to larger bearings but I couldn’t find an easy way to upgrade them. Also the setscrews always seem to cause huge problems when they rust in place. Anyone who...

Types of configuration: 1. Direct inline control. This means the switch carries the total current supplied to your winch (this means bulky cables and possibly less torque capacity of your winch). 2. Indirect control by means of current amplification. This basically means that you put an amplifer close to your winch so that the amperage needed by your winch does not have to go through your directional switch. Some current amplifiers are called relays, solenoids or solidstate (transistors, mosfets.....

If you are planning on taking your amphibious ATV into public lakes and waterways in the U.S. then you will need to register it as a boat in order to be legal. This is a fairly simple (and cheap) process but it varies slightly from state to state. Use this article as a basic guide but always be sure to check your local and state laws as well.

I will list a couple of states below and the procedures that they require but you can always check your states laws by visiting Boat Registration...
