max IV tracks

[garretttpe]

i just emailed him, I sent him a message through kijiji which is a Canadian site, took me a little while to get to his page, he responded the same day through that site so i dont have his actual email. his price for a MAX II with 22 inch rawhide tires is 1900 Canadian which i think is an awesome price. 1450.00 USD plus shipping

great price... did he say if you have to use wheel exstensions with those tires ? johnboy

on a max II you're going to want 2 - 2.5" spacers (or offset wheels) if you want the appropriate safety clearance. I also strongly believe that an overlap hinge (with vertical through bolts through 2 layers) is far superior to a metal hinge both for reliability (never coming loose) and "rubbing" of both the hinge-pin bolt head and threads on the tire sidewall and also the machine tub/skid-plate. If you use a proper overlap, it is impossible to experience either one of these things.
Here's a picture with 2.5" spacers on a max II
A max IV with a 2.5" spacer can run a wider grouser body (2 bolts) on the inside and a 1" wider belt.
You can make the grouser very narrow and use a narrow belt (and use no wheel spacers) on a max IV, and also an Argo with 10" wide tires, but I really don't think you could/should on a Max 2. I don't like how the lower tub angles out from the skid-plate upward, giving less clearance than your eyes would initially lead you to believe by looking at the bottom corner of the skid plate.
Happy Thanksgiving to All!

i notice in the picture buzz there is only one bolt thru the belting and the grouser. what keeps the track from racking , just the tightness of the bolts ? usually it takes 2 on each side to prevent that does'nt it ?

we paid about $1500 for a set of tracks for out max IV
I have his email and phone if anyone needs it but it is also listed in a forum here as well. I will get some videos up on youtube soon but these tracks at up the swamp and mud. I have never been more impressed with something. We never once got even remotely close to getting stuck and we went through some crazy slop that has no bottom

the other side has 2 bolts

Ours has 2 bolts on each side, in the case of the one in the picture I think that was a custom narrow track so one side only has one. That way they did not need spacers
