Hi have had atvs (with tracks) just purchased a 2006 Bigfoot with only 13 hours on it from a dealer. Just wondering what I should look for and what options I should save up to purchase. I'm looking forward to duck hunting and fishing out of my new ride.

Hello Limbsmith, welcome to the forum. Congratulations on picking up your Max IV.

Hi Fireman, welcome to the forum. With only 13 hours, it sounds like you basically got a new machine. With a change of the engine and transmission fluids, a good greasing of the bearings and lubing the chains, you should be good to go for a while. Have fun with your new machine.

Hey all, just looking for info on '99 Max IV...bought it use on CL, starts and runs good. I'd like to eventually do a complete resto. For now, i'd like to replace the essentials, bearings, break pads, etc...any info?

Hi snackmaster, welcome to the forum. For bearinigs, there are lots of good threads in the Max forums with part numbers and where to purchase them from. Get a good, quality bearing and make sure it is triple sealed. Have fun with your Max.

Hello
I am new to this community. I have a max II and I am in the process of restoring it. So far a new throttle cable and throttle. New starter and battery. Replaced some of the chains. I had rust in the tank so I am trying the vinegar process. Hope it works. Tonight I tried to drain the oil but the 7/16 square drain plug will not budge. If anyone has any advice please let me know.
Thank you in advance

Small propain touch and work it back and forth a little it should come out. Not a lot of heat needed !

Thank you I tried that but was a little worried that I would start the whole thing on fire. I'll try again. Lol

Hi, I am Ed1 and I am new to this experience. I recently purchased a 2008 Max II. It only has about 20 hours on it. It needs to have all chains adjusted. I am pretty sure how to do the adjustments but don't know how to safely raise all 6 wheels off the floor. Please help.

Hello Mike. I have a question about my 2015 Max II. I am hearing a loud screeching noise coming from the max when I pull back on the right stick to make a right turn. It's high pitched. It does not do it when I turn soft, but if I make a hard turn it makes the noise. It does not do it when I turn left. It does not do it until I have run if for a while. I have a total of 5 hours (have had it for 3 days) on it and it just started today. Has not done it before today. Can you give me any information on this?

Thanks.

Jeff

Hello all. I'm a new member by the name of Denuch. I live South of Chicago. Been playing for years with Odysseys and Pilots. I have entered the 6 x 6 realm by picking up a pretty intact 69 Amphicat. Has spark, and compression, but the starter is shot. It has the original Sachs motor in it. Any ideas where a guy might find a starter, or a rebuild kit for this?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi folks... I'm Dave and I live in NE British Columbia. Bought my first 6x6 Argo in about 1982 and am currently just starting a restoration on an early 80's HTB 8x8. Pretty much done with chains and bearings, now to rebuild wire harness and then bolt it all back together for a test drive. I got some great info on tire replacements from this forum as well as a lot of other tips.
