Buffalochuck, that's quite the clever name....I like it! You got a SUPER good deal on that Buffalo Truck. They're not too common, especially on the west coast. They're great machines, and if you're interested in finding out the year and other information on parts and what not, post some questions up here on 6X6World and give the helpful folks at Recreatives a call Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511 Give them your serial number and they'll tell you all the details about your machine. Welcome to the site!

What a deal on a Buffalo! I love mine. The manual is now available on-line if you don't have a printed one. Info you need regarding chain tightening should be found there. By the way, although Recreatives will tell you they don't leak while swimming, it is way too easy to overgrease the bearings, which will make them leak. I installed two 500 gph bilge pumps in mine, which will handle most situations just fine.

Hello everyone,

I am from North Carolina, and I have an Argo 6x6 2009 Frontier 580 model. Great machine. I love it! As a matter of fact, I like all old and new amphibious machines. I once had a Sierra Trail Boss 6x6. Unique in having two transmissions, one for each side! ........ anyways, just wanted to say hi, and I always look forward to riding!

[ARGOJIM]

Garret,

You've got a Hustler 950. It's a great machine with a bulletproof T-20 and Kohler drivetrain. You'll have a nice machine when you get it up and going. Take a look at the reply I'm writing to your other post. Also, post some pics too if you get a chance. Welcome to the site!

Hi everyone! I joined this board to see what kind of following 6x6's had. Its neat to see that there's still a lot of them running strong! I guess you could say that I'm a third generation 6 wheeler. My grandfather worked for the vesely company out of lapeer Michigan, which manufactured the sierra trail boss. When they closed, he purchased a good amount of the remaining inventory. When he passed away, my father, Dan Dowling, took over and is still occasionally selling parts. Although I've never owned a six wheeler, I have gotten a few that my dad has running and put them through their paces. I am currently looking at a trailboss, which seems like the logical choice(discount parts ;-)) for my girlfriend and I to drive around the family farm. I'm looking forward to spending more time on this site sifting through all the information!

Hi Justin, welcome to the forum.

[ARGOJIM]

Welcome Justin, I talked with your father about 5 years ago when I had a Sierra for sale, a very nice guy and we probably spoke for 45 minutes. At that time I believe he said he also had something to do with the Apache pop up campers that were made out there too.

Thanks Mike! I have enjoyed off-roading for many years in Arizona. I just purchased a 2000 MAX IV a few weeks ago! The MAX sat outside with a tarp over it for 10-years. The MAX is in poor condition for now. I meet Whipper last week and he help me remove a badly rusted engine clutch. I am in the process in a full restoration with many modification to the unit. I will post pictures of the work that I will be doing in a later post.

Hi AZ Max IV, welcome to the site. Good luck with your Max IV restoration.
