New to it all...

Hello everyone! I'm John and I am new to this forum as well as Amphibious ATVs. I have been reading through all of the great information on the site and am impressed with all of the awesome information!

I am from Mississippi, living just outside of Memphis, TN. I am a new proud owner of a 1996 Max IV and am planning on getting it out on the trails/water this weekend. If it is half as much fun as the videos I've seen, I know I'm going to be addicted!

Thanks for all the great technical information on the site!

John

Hi All
My name is Larry and I am new to this forum, I have a 2000 Max II and I live in Northern Maine. I screwed up my tranny 2 years ago and I will be doing a complete rebuild of my Max this winter ( I have a new heated garage) It has been abused over the years and now it is time to get it back in perfect condition and take much much better care of it.

Locolouie and Larry, welcome to the site. Locolouie, congratulations on your new ATV. Larry, the T20 is an easy transmission to work on and there are a lot of good how-to articles and videos in our how-to section that can help make it even easier.

Hello here. My name's John. I've got a place in Springfield, Oh. but I'm not there much. (travel a lot for work) I got the bug in Sept. and bought a late 90's Max II out of N.C. and proceeded to meet my buddies to trail ride in northern Tn. that weekend. TOO much fun! (Should've bought one 20 yrs ago) I just bought a 2nd Max II; still have to pick it up in Iowa. The plan is to re-work one of them while still being able to play with the other. Would LOVE the springer kit. BTW-Mike, LOVE the site!!! Lots of great info on here

Welcome tbird. The max ii is a great little machine. Post pics of your rebuild when you get started.

Hello, my name is Kenneth (aka) mudbilly, I am new to this sight as I am thinking about getting an amphibious atv, I am looking at an early 80's model Argo 8x8, It has a convertable canvas top & windshield, A set of factory plastic tracks, A brush guard & winch, And a 5hp outboard motor...

I do not know much about these vehicles, And would like to know how much I should expect to pay, It has just over 45 hours on according to the gage on the dash, I believe the guy said it was a 1982 or 1983 model year, And is asking $8,500 cash or trade for it, Any advice would be greatly appreciated, As I am new to these kind of ATV's

Sincerely ; Kenneth (aka) mudbilly

Welcome mudbilly, and now walk away from the argo. please throw away any information on the seller. that is way too much money for that machine. You could get a 2006 for that type of coin.

Hi mudbilly,welcome to the site. Yes,as Drew said that is way too much $$ for a 30 year old machine.I know it's tough but be patient,a good deal will come up. Keep checking this site,a lot surface on here.BTW I'm in Cleveland and ride in Ashtabula and Garrettsville often. Also spend a lot of time in the Pymatuning Valley.

Hello 6x6ers im new to the forum and 6x6 scene. Hopefully i didn't mess up by trading my 660 grizzly for a maxII 6x6.

Hi kricket, welcome to the site. I think you will be pleased with where your Max II can take you.

Traded a quad for a 6 wheeler.......don't you worry, you won't have any regrets. You're certainly moving up the food chain by ditching a quad and getting a REAL all terrain vehicle. Welcome to the site, you're going to have a blast with your 6 wheeler!
