I am sure there are many ways this could have been built but I just wanted something to seat beads and inflate tires on my ATVs in the field and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money.

Many 6x6 ATVs utilize small engines for power due to their availability, price, and reliablility. These engines can provide a lifetime of trouble free use if you properly maintain them. Of course anytime that you subject them to abrasive environments you will have to maintain them more frequently and if you happen to be as unfortunate as my Max II in this photo it and submerge the motor under water you should always change the oil and filters. Here I will list the recommended maintenance sched...
