My new to me MaxII

[6X6]

I wondered, figured it was a good one. A friend has a hydraulic Hossfeld. It's how I did the racer's cage and is just a fun tool to use The bender isn't cheap, but it's the tooling that will run you broke.

If I had the funding I would order there #2 school & shop Bender, It Com's with
School Toolset for Bending Angle Iron, Leg-In
School Toolset for Bending Angle Iron, Leg-Out

Got a big box from RI today full of goody's.
Now I have to Waite till Monday to figure out how sum of my parts are to go on.
I ordered gaskets and a new outer shield for my exhaust, they told me two gaskets go on the outside, two on the inside and one in the body?
Is there any-body that can give a better description on the gaskets used on the max-II exhaust. I'm thinking one go's on the outside of the outer heat shield, one on the other side of the shield, one fills the space in the body "that one I know is right do to it is a different size" then one on the inner body then the inner shield then the last gasket go's on the other side of the inner shield. pleas correct me if I'm wrong.

I fixed the hole's in the lower body and found the body damaged under the shield. I wanted OEM parts instead of the cob-job the last oner did. since there is no parts breakdown diagram reference when putting it back together it gets to be a guising game.

If the weather holds I should have it completed by the 19th and will take it out on the 20th to brake it in, then I will really brake it in on the 21st on the PA ride.

OK all, The only think I have left is to straiten out the wiring and rebuild the carb, it started running bad for sum resin but not a problem. I have extra rebuild kit's for that and only takes me 20 minutes to do the job. I will have it all ready buy this Friday night.
the only thing I have to make is a cover for over the motor, I just don't know what kind of cover i want.

Nice work there, looks like it's coming along nicely! I am curious where you got the LP Flex Pipe, I have to replace a flex pipe on my Attex.

UP-DATE, The LP flex pipe did not last long on my Timex. half way threw my ride it gave out and I had to relocate my muffler to on the motor to finish out my ride today in PA,

I also broke an axle and will finish making a new one Tuesday. all in all the Timex did good today and the winch mount and body band worked good.
By the end of the month I hope the Timex will be back in full operation.

Well, sorry to hear that, but glad you at least finished the ride (on 5 wheels ?) I wish I could have made it, but he does that ride a few times a year it seems. I will make a ride again, it has to happen, the odds are in my favor, eventually

getting ready for the snow.

Well I took this last Thursday and installed the new axle and repaired the muffler setup then installed the tracks for the snow.
After working most of the day outside in 26 degrees I found out that I burnt my wrist on the flex pipe? I never felt it till I went inside to clean up and found this big blister on my arm, o-well. anyways can sum won tell me just how much air I'm to have in my tiers to keep the tracks on?
they keep coming off when I'm sideways on a small hill or when turning.

Like the looks of those tracks. Who are they made by? If homemade I really got to build some.

Looking good! Those tracks are factory Recreatives Max tracks.......these style of tracks were available in the 80's and 90's.

Looks like they would do well in mud and water, much like the adairs

Yup they cam with my max but one of the spacers wear missing and i had to call RI for a new one.
I'm running the air in the tiers at about 10psi to keep them on the wheels, any lower and the track tries to walk off the tiers.
I have gone over sum log's with no problem but have not tried them in mud yet. I'm thinking of taking it up the road to the swamp to try it out.

Well I went yesterday to RI and got new rim's & 22x11-8 Maxxis sur track tires to update the Timex and while there I also got a blemished green top with headlight for it also.

they had a couple in camo and blue but chose green only do to it was cut out already with the options i have.
I installed the wheels and gave it a quick spin around the block. WOW what an improvement from my old tire's.

When I was at RI I also got replacement guide cleats for my track's that i broke on the last PA ride.

I now have only 6 weeks left till Busco Beach to change the top, install the new bearings, tune up or change the motor to a 25hp Kohler, install a hitch on the RV + get a trailer to haul the Timex.

How much did they (RI) get for 1 guide cleat? I am thinking of buying or making some to make a set of tracks.
