Hello I am Gerry,
I live in Southeastern Connecticut, I am picking up a 1963 Jiger on Monday. I have been told its a basket case and will need a motor. You may be hearing alot from me.

Hello,

I am new to the site. I am here wondering if there are anybody from Virginia to ride with.

Hi xbunsenx, welcome to the site. There are a few members on here that live in Virginia. Look in the "Local 6x6 World Members" forum for a VA thread. If there isn't one, feel free to start one and maybe some of the VA members will chime in.

Hi my name is Joe I live on the southern end of western NY the area where they make the max. I have always driven 4x4 pickups but when you take your only transportation mudding it dosnt always come back the same way it went out. I have a max IV and am totally impressed it is like a mini dozer in the woods and I have made several trails for my kids to play on there four wheelers with. I would like to find any one around this area to go riding with. My kids are young so they are not that great of a help if we are off some where and we get stuck I do have a winch but I sure would feel a little safer with a riding partner. But I have to say they are awesome machines

Hello, I would just like to say I am new to this site, and don't own a 6x6 yet. I remember back in the late 60's early 70's when I was about 5 or 6 seeing these cool rides. Now I'm 47 and want one. I live in CT and would travel to pick up an original, complete Attex or Amphicat. One of the things I like most are the old balloon tires for the nostalgia, the one thing I remember from back then. I would like to restore one of these back to original. What would be the better one the Attex or the Amphicat? Biff

The Attex is far superior to the Amphicat. Get a later model Attex with a T-20 transmission rather than one with the Baker Hill Power Transmission. Welcome to the site and keep checking the For Sale and Ebay and Craigslist section of the site here and you'll find a deal soon.

New to the 6x6 world and finding this forum most informative! Picked up a 1990 max iv with a 20 hp kohler that was sitting for 2-3 years. Got it running and am just going through the chains and bearings etc. This one has the factory winch mount but I'm not having much success finding a vertical mount winch with a roller fairlead. Any suggestions?

[jpswift1]

You could order one directly from Recreatives. Accessories for the Max IV - Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511

Welcome to the site! It sounds like you've got a nice machine there.

Hello , my name is Tra Dockery and Iv just bought a 8x8 Argo with 275hrs , not sure what model but will get that to u soon . Iv already had to use some of yalls post to fix mine and cap off the fuel shut off cause it would run with the choke on and when u toke it off it would die . But it's all good now and sure y'all will be hearing some crazy questions cause I got the Argo for duck huntin and I'll be in some of the worst trerrian there is probably . If there's any things I should no to help me not brake or tare up anything that would be appreciated . I'm open to all ears , this is a pretty good site ,I like it !

[Gerry648]

Thank You for the advice..I had already been to the site before I agreed to the trade that got me the Jiger. I have it here now and it is a basket case..the body isn't in bad shape, he was nice enough to keep the clutch assembly in some type of heating fuel.., the rest is rust and work..going to have a blast

Hi Tra, welcome to the site. Have fun with your Argo.
