Welcome mikeriordan, your at the right site get your Max back up and running.

Welcome Swampfoxlover, not a lot of info out there. Not a lot of those produced to my knowledge. This is the place to learn about them. I'd switch back to gasoline.

Welcome JACKMAX2, sounds like you already have a good grip on toys. Have fun with your Max!

New guy here, just picked up a 01 Bigfoot. I been scrolling through here gaining knowledge as I have no experience with theses machines. I’m from central Wisconsin and am gonna use my Argo for hunting and ice fishing. I have a million questions that I have not found the answers for in old threads, so be prepared!!.. lol..go brewers!

[gfleharty]

I don't know what happened to the old thread so I will sticky a new one here. All of the introduction posts can go here so they are in one thread.

Don't be shy, tell us a little about yourself. Do you own an amphibious atv? If so, what kind. Where do you live, etc?

We look forward to meeting you.

Hello, my name is Glen, I just got my first 2 6X6 sidewinder/hustlers. I picked them up in Nebraska, and I'm in the process of providing some TLC to get one operational. I'm afraid the one is a parts vehicle. https://photos.app.goo.gl/XxEbJW9i6dAZpjW79

Recently picked up an early 80’s Argo. Found your page while researching transmission information. Future plans include a complete tear down and rebuild with a transmission swap if I can find a T-20 at a decent price.

I am currently running a 1981 Arctic cat engine in there, I have been eyeing the Geo Metro in my drive as a possible engine swap candidate.

The ultimate goal is to convert this into a paintball tank. When I get strayed with the teardown I will start a project thread.

Welcome Glen, great find. Those external framed Sidewinders are cool.

My wife and I just bought a used 2017 avenger with 30 hours on it. We have land just north of Parry Sound Ontario. That's in Canada (EH). We are building a log cabin on our 100 acres of mixed forest and will be using it to drag logs around. We have only owned it for 1 week and had a blast last weekend getting used to driving it. Neither of us have had much experience with one before. My wifes family had an old one on their horse farm when she was a kid.

Hey guys my name is Mike. I'm new to the 6x6 world. My machine is a 2004 Max iv. I'm currently having a problem shifting. It us stuck in reverse and we cant get it into neutral or forward. Worked fine all winter plowing so not sure the problem.

[2xmax]

mike
Im no expert but need more to go on. is there resistance on the shift lever? check all linkage . there isn't that much there and its all mechanical linkage right back to the trans. I'm guessing you tried rocking the machine back and forth?

[Maxmike]

I'm not sure about the resistance on the shift lever. I will have to check next time I'm near it but I think there is. Also I rocked it back and forth on the outside while my father in law tried to shift it from the inside. I rocked the **** out of it and it didnt budge.

[2xmax]

maybe you should try shifting since you know how it feels. Guess you did and that's why you were outside rockin it. Id pull the floor boards and follow the linkage. Make sure its all clear.Its all mechanical so it works when it works but if its obstructed or bound well it ain't moving.Possible jammed up somehow or foreign object in there preventing movement??? Hope its something that simple for you. If all clear Id unhook it at the back and see if you can move it right at the trans

Hi, I have a 2002 Max IV that I am having a ball with. I am located in Roxboro, NC. We don't have many places to ride here, but we do have several lakes and ponds. My Max iv does great; the only problem is that it leaks. What is the best way to reseal the hull?

Hey guys! Purchased my first Argo! It's a 1981 ... Motor has great compression, so I've turned this into a project .. the throttle assembly was crap, so I bought a new one... I've painted the exterior, and I'm replacing the fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel pump, adjusting the tappet, and all of the other basic maintenance .. the chains also seem to be loose, I will be replacing all of those as well... I'm looking forward to what I can get out of this thing.... I used it as it was a few times hunting last year and it held up very well... So far I'm Impressed by this near 40 year old beast lol
