Hi Barry, welcome to the forum. I hope you get your Vanguard running good so that you can enjoy it.

Greetings from Maryland!

My family went to Gatlinburg, TN on vacation several years ago. My kids and I had the opportunity to ride in an Argo 8x8 and had a blast.

Several months ago I started digging around on CraigsList and saw several MAX IV's for sale. I bought mine yesterday!

It's been well used with a broken front left chain and in need of some bearings, but it has six brand new 26" tires and wheels. I couldn't pass it up for the price. Looking forward to getting this thing back in top condition and having fun with the family.

Hi Lazy Hiker, welcome to the forum. Congratulations on picking up your Max IV. Once you go through the bearings, chain, etc. you should have a nice ride.

Hi 6x6 world my name is Cody from UP State New York. I have always been intrigued with the of idea amphibious machines, So two good friends and I had a opportunity to buy out a lifetime collection of a deceased gentleman. Mainly Attex, a mint 500 super chief, a slew of 400ST I believe and many other various types. One is an Allis Chalmers - terra tiger (mint). There is a scrambler and a hustler and many that I am un sure of what they are. I am willing to lean and gain as much knowledge about these as possible.

well I purchased my first amphibious a couple months ago it was a lil critter avx4 in great shape with a vanguard 16 when my brother in law saw it he wanted it bad (duck hunter ).well I couldn't part with it I replaced all the wheel bearings and while doing some research I found you guys and very little info on the critter.well I got ahold of sno bus and got it up and running during my searching I found an old max11 for my brother in law says its a m1 model it had a predator 420 in it .barely in it.so I decided to pull that heap and had a Honda gx390 laying around .I messed the drive clutch up a bit when removing from the pred and soon realized the shaft on Honda was tapered and wont fit.any suggestions would be great im looking for torque over speed.i will try and post some pics going to look at a gx620 Honda 20hp have one on a hustler mower im real pleased with and just found one on craigslist oh yeah I don't think im gonna part with my max either the tranny on the critter sucks t-20 a lot better but im thinking about a hydro wheel motor set up on critter .any thoughts? thanks BEN

Hi, I'm tony, I've owned one of these machines in my younger days(Wedgie), sadly we got rid of it for a three wheeler, then when I went off to the NAVY my folks split and the 185s was no more---,, recently I've acquired a 2008 max4,, but do to an accident , that left me with a bad back, I'm looking for ways to improve this machine,, whipper explained he's not making the springer kits now, but did suggest a suspension seat,,, basically what I'm asking is any info on either a suspension seat or a springer kit or both,, or once again I may have to give up my 6x6--- thanks

Howdy all,

Mike from Houston here. I don't own an AATV "yet". It has been such a wet year here that I could not get out on the deer lease so I started my search. All the videos I see are amazing... I can't wait to be an owner... And take it out to get muddy..

Hi. Just finished designing and building our new house in Laurel Springs, NC, however we are still in FL. selling our house here. We will move to the new house in April regardless. We have 5 acres, 4-1/2 pretty flat and 1-1/5 with heavy wooded Pine trees. I have a Case 580SE Backhoe but it won't go into the wooded area. I will be cutting all the Pines and need to cross a small stream. To do this it looks to me like a 6X6 will be the machine that will get me and the equipment there. Been looking for dealers in my area and it does not look good. I'll be asking a lot of questions on here. Here is a link to our building and what the area looks like. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/oii72vzc9...q-S9z084HqJGna
