Jay, welcome to the site. Like spookum mentioned, please post some pictures. We love seeing rare ATVs. Also, if you will use the search feature of the site, you will see that there are a couple of other Repco owners on the forum. There isn't much information on them but perhaps the other Repco owners can help you figure out any problems you run into. Here are a couple of the Repco threads:

Hey just got my first 6x6 Max iv used off Craigslist. 2004 with 60 hrs. I've been riding a lot the past few days creeks hills sand. Does anyone have any ideas how to make it go better in wet river sand.... It digs down and bottoms out then is stuck. If you have and suggestions that would help thanks. Joey

Hi, my name is Matt from ft Lauderdale florida.Ive always had four wheelers and honda trikes. Just picked up an argo conquest 8x8. I'll post some pics soon, I really wanted a 6x6 but I never found one then a very inexpensive deal came up so now I own this argo. It needs a little work but should clean up nice

Joey and Matt, welcome to the forum. Have fun with your new toy(s).

Joey, river sand is tough. Keep your speed up the best you can before you initiate a turn. I know that is easier said than done but it's your best defense against digging yourself into a hole. In situations like that, tracks would help out a lot.

Ok thanks for the advice. Ideal tire psi for everyday use?

[Mike]

Since your Max is a 2004 model, it should have the k-lock wheels. Those will allow you to run low pressure without having to worry about knocking a tire off the bead. I would run between 2-3 PSI. Get a low pressure tire gauge if you don't already have one, one that is made specifically to read low pressures usually topping out around 15 PSI. Other gauges, even though they may display low pressure markings, won't be accurate at that low of a pressure. I usually run 2.5 PSI in mine.

Ok sweet thanks! Just got back from a ride with 4 people in it. Threw water..... Sure is fun!

thanks to everyone here...i have been reading alot of posts so I could learn more about these atvs. i bought an older model max iv
have gone through all drive chains, grease, motor tuneup and i is ready to go now..I work for USDA/wildlife services division in animal damage control mostly trapping beavers and will use the machine for work getting to swamps removing problem beavers and using it to carry blasting equipment in for dam removal. Looking forward to reading more on this site....great site with lots of info. I have never owned a rig like this but the potential of theses machines is amazing to me so far.

3-5 is a good starting point, I run less some run more and that depends on terrain and size of tire.

Hi ksp7, welcome to the site. It sounds like you have the perfect job to use your Max IV. That should make work even more enjoyable. Have fun.
