Hello Harvey and Pipewelder. Welcome to the forum

[Stoneyridgeboy]

Hello all. Hoping to make the leap to a 6x6 in the next few days. Been a quad rider for 30 years, and still have my first one. Hope to find a machine that will treat me as well as my old Suzi.

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgHello,
I am an active ATV rider, owning a couple of Can Am 4x4 quad's. I have been off roading, with trucks, bikes, and for the last ten years four wheelers. I recently purchased a (Old ) 6x6 amphibious ATV, my hope is to restore it for my sons. It has been obviously modified in a few ways. In the search of what this machine is, I have been reading a few of the forums, that the pro's have been writing. I have decided that I need their help. I definitely require some help figuring out what I have in front of me, as it has a lack of decals or serial numbers. The body is made from all steel, it has 1-1/4" axles, and has a 440 rotax motor. The guy I bought it from thought it might be a 1965 amphicat.
Please help me!

Hi Rebuild, welcome to the forum. Start a new thread in the Other AATV section of the site asking what machine you have and someone may recognize it. I can't tell what it is off the top of my head. It is wide like a swamp fox and has a bit of a McKee Brothers Roughrider or Prairie Bobcat look to it. This thread doesn't get checked often by all members as it's mainly for introductions.

Hello everyone!
I thought I introduced myself but after reading thru the forums I may have blew by this step

I am originally from southern Mass (oxford) and now live in southern NH right on the boarder of MA. I have been riding dirt bikes most of my life and have finally taken the 6x6 plunge. i am not a very good rider ATM but I now have a Max II 1999 I think with a 18HP B&S, winch and a factory track kit so now its time to learn. looking forward to meeting some of you people and do some riding in the near future.

Hi johnnova, welcome to the site. Have fun with your max ii.

Hello everyone, we have a max 2 with a 14 hp motor ( need more HP) as they say no replacement for displacement. It is a blast to ride and looking forward to trail riding. I just would like to say thanks to all of you for the info here at 6x6 World that has been posted as this has been a great tool for putting this machine back in action. Had quite a few things wrong from gear oil in t 20 trans to broken brake levers on trans. Now it seams very dependable that all repairs are done.

Welcome islandheat. More hp is always nice. An easy upgrade is to throw a 16 hp carb on that 14 and take the restricted tabs out. There are some threads about it on here. But the 14 and 16 are basically the same engine.

I am a motor nut already done the carb and restrictors in exhaust, I am looking for power and not speed - maybe gear change if possible as I am not sure if the max 4 uses same gear ratios - now I am on the look out for a bigger motor - here in middle TN I need it to go up and down hills - originally I was in SW FL for many years it would of been nice to have the max 2 down there playing in the Everglades.

A t-20 has output sprockets with 15 teeth. Your MaxII should have mating sprockets on the jackshaft with 27 teeth. A MaxIV has sprockets with 34 teeth, but usually has 26" tires too. A briggs 23hp would do wonders for your MaxII. There really is no need for more, but it is FUN
