Max4 axle replace question

[Delduck]

No the reason I posted about chains was. I saw them when I was looking for tracks and I see where a lot of guys up north use machines for ice fishing. So I figured I'd put them out there, I didn't know that they made them for aatv tires.

OOPS1 I think we are talking about two different types of chain!! I think that Argo Jim is asking if you have removed any of your Axle Drive chains because you are running tracks? If I am confused , it isn't the first time and I apologise. Hey Delduck would I ever love to see the movie.

You can step up to 1 7/16 axles.i believe that is as big as you can go with the factory flanges for a 72mm bearing. I just made a set for my max iv. Old vs new

The bearing part # i used is. uc207-23r3

Another rear axle

Well finally got the left axle fixed put the track on took the max off the lift drove to the trailer and started up the ramp, then the other axle broke. ( here we go again) I only have 4 more axles and EVERYTHING in the max will be brand new......EVERYTHING I think there's a saying for this, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can change......"

That's just not right!

Do some reading here, I think there was a thread discussing possible bad axle run.

Are your axles breaking at the C-clip grooves? I am convinced they are selling off left over junk axles that did not pass quality control at some point in the past. The last axle I bought from 6x6parts.com came with a spacer for the end because they were too short and the one I bought from them the previous fall failed with only 10 hours on it. The last axle I bought was from route6x6 and is a little different, the flange is thicker and the welds are better.

Regardless, that is going to be the very last OEM style axle I put in this machine. I'm currently debating my next move, I will either start ordering axles without grooves or I will start upgrading broken axles to 1 3/8" dia.
