    I live in central Alabama,Sense alot of people don't post where they live,I was wondering how many older or new members live in this area.I don't hunt or fish,My thing is riding and i am very dedicated to it.I ride just about every weekend and would really like to meet and ride with other members with aatv's.I have lot's of friends that ride 4 wheelers and we have a lot of fun but i am the only one with a 6 wheeler.If anyone would like to ride just let me know.I went back to Talladega this weekend and had a great ride.I could have sold the argo to a couple of people,After showing them what it is capable of doing,They loved it[I guess i really like to show off] It really would be nice to have another machine to ride with.I could build more 6 wheelers and sell them to the locals,then there would be more people riding them.My problem is i would want to keep them all.Hope to hear from some of the members,Happy trails.

    I ride a 14 hp MAX II that is about 12 years old but had less than 100 hours on it when I bought it just a few months ago. When I bought it I changed all the fluids and filters and even changed the fuel line and emptied and rinsed out the gass tank.

    I live in the Huntsville Alabama area and ride mostly in the Stevenson Alabama area. You are welcome to contact me.

    On the first trip out on my machine I was not able to make it up the hill with the guys on ATVs and was embarrased. Tried to load my MAX II up the ramp onto my pickup truck. My MAX would not make it up the ramp on it's own power ... after a few attempts and a whole lot of guys pushing... It was clear that I would have to get a run at the ramps in order to get up them....
    Well, I broke out the back window of my truck by loading it onto the bed of my new pick-up truck. $550.00 window repair.

    On the next trip out I sank my MAX II completely underwater by simply trying to climb up out of a creek. The engine vent holes in the back of the machine went underwater while I was climbing out and that swamped the hull completely. It sank till only the roll bars could be seen. It took a four wheel drive pickup truck to pull it out of that creek about an hour later.

    Third trip out I attempted to climb up the mountain with the other guys who are on Honda ATVs. I did not make it all the way up because my MAX II did not have enough engine power..... I was embarrassed.

    Do you Know anyone who wants to buy a Max II with Less than 150 hours on it????

    Fourth trip I tried the mountain trial again after tuning up my machine. The belt broke 3/4 of the way up just before dark so I had to abandon my machine up in the wilderness until the next day...

    Your average autoparts store does not carry these belts. Cost me about $75.00 for a new belt and a # of days later I received it in from Recreative Ind. ... It took me more than three hours to walk and climb 33 degree slope back up that mountain with a load of tools in a military style ruck sack to change the belt.

    So, Out of about 5 trips; none were completely successful.

    Do you Know anyone who wants to buy a Max II with Less than 150 hours on it????

    Let's ride...

    It would be nice to have someone around to help push.

              Hi jbies,I over looked your post.I'm glad to see another member in Alabama.That makes 4 that i know of.It sounds like you are having a hard time with the max.I have had my share of mishaps at first,After more time on these machines you get more familiar with the machine and it,s capabilities.I hope you haven't given up on it,The 14hp is under powered in the maxll.You could put a 16hp carb on it,That would help alot.It would be great to have a ride with some one other than myself.

                    I've been pondering another ride @ CAW. Maybe we could set one up for sometime in February. I' just outside of Charlotte, so it's only about an 1 1/2 hr drive for me.

                      Glad to see some more from Alabama. I am a recent transplant and slowly building a completely disassembled MAX II. Hope to get running soon and meet more people.

                        I'm a fair distance South of you in Crestview Florida. I do make it up to Boggs and Boulders near Andalusia when I can.
