Max II Cab and roll bar?

[Rabbit929]

Yes I do like the way this series looks a lot.

If that top is good for you that is the exact series Matt had.

It looks like that machine has the factory soft top framework, try contacting member MattO. as he had some NOS ones for sale last year.

Alright I sent him a message. The previous owner sent me this:

What's a good soft top that would fit? I've been eye balling them for quads, but idk what exactly would fit a max II decently.

Today I pulled the engine to replace the starter, going through the exhaust as well.

I think a light weight top made out of lightweight plywood and either stiched or tacked together is the best bet, I made one for a M38a1 Jeep many years back, and thirty years later the same guy still has it. Weight was under 100 pounds, I'm sure for a Max2 the weight could be dropped to 50 pounds. Even if someone added the thin urethane insulation sheets, it wouldn't weigh much.

There are plenty of soft tops out there as well.

I believe Keith put together an anti-sag mechanism that connects his frame to the body rim (using the roll cage base angles) so that he could pull the sag out of his machine when he upgraded it to use 25" tires with adair tracks. I would think that would be applicable if you are going to add the weight of a hard cab to the body rim. I was thinking about adding a hard cab that I can also use as a spotting scope platform when I am hunting for big game. I don't know if I will ever do it, but it is a nice dream. I had thought that a tie to the frame would be required for something along these lines. I would use the bottom side of the platform to mount driving/brush lights (LED, of course!).

Wouldent a hard cab start adding weight what about body sag ?? I was looking at some of the roll cages hooked to the body rim and wondering about this !!!

This won't help very much Rabbit, but along the lines of hard-cabs I've only ever seen one designed for a Max II. I believe it was a one-off and was located at the RI factory when it was in Buffalo. I don't know if it ever went to Indiana with Matt or if it was sold ahead of time. I used to have a good picture of it, but it's lost. If anybody has the picture, post it in the gallery and link it here to drive imaginations....

I believe Kevin Griffin ended up with the cab.

[ARGOJIM]

There is a hard cab in the Max gallery somewhere, homebuilt.
Building a 4 or 6 point cage could give a frame for a demountable/ disassemble able hard cab.

I've never seen a hard shell cab for a Max, but seen soft tops.
Check with the manufacture.

Check out countryATV.com they have a set up for a winch the Max IV and a little video on how the plow brackets attach the plow brackets are easy to make and you can always find a plow blade off of a garden tractor an adapt it Also look through the gallery pictures on this site and see what other folks have done
HAVE FUN!

I'm also looking for something like a guide to make your own plow and winch plate. I really fell in love with these things. It's like a little personal tank.
