  • Saturday @ my shop in Western NY, AATV work and play day. March 10th

    Anyone that is interested in working on and/or driving their machine this Saturday at my place in Lockport, NY can PM me and I will give them the address. I will be working on my trailer for my MAX IV and jpswift1 will be working on the swamp fox. I have a fully equipped shop and eight acres to drive on with lots of hills and a creek running through the middle of it. Right now the weather forecast looks good, 40 and sunny.

    Count me in Mark! This is a fun place to play and work on AATVs and Mark is always nice enough to let me use his shop and pick his brain for good ideas. Here's some a video clip of some of the terrain at Mark's place:

        Good proving grounds for the Super Swamp Fox!

          I have zero tow points completed on the machine. We'll have to wrap a strap around an axle to tow it up out of the creek when it breaks.

            When it breaks? Na....I'd be willing to bet it'll do just fine, but if not Mark has some good recovery equipment on hand. The 'Fox might be pushing the lifting capacity for his one Hyster lift, but it should suffice for any needed recovery efforts.

              Hmmm, you sure are tempting me Mark. I still have lots of work on my new shop build. My machine has been in my enclosed trailer all winter so basically it is ready to go.
              We will see.

                I had hope we could get to see you machine in motion. Perfect testing ground, anything needs work you're less than 5 min from the garage.

                Where did you find that picture. That color scheme on that one makes my big yellow one look sedate, never thought that would happen

                Come on down, it should be fun. You need to give your machine a workout to keep them in good shape........ consider it preventative maintenance
                I always have to remind myself of the fact I am working so I can have fun, but then I am tempted to say I don't have time for the fun when it happens.....

                    So Mike. That means your going to have to enter the water to hook that strap to the axle. That fast running stream sure looks cold.

                        The work thing would get it the way I guess. But the Attex not running is more of reason to bring it down.....

                          Wish I didn't have to work on my machine to get it on the trailer... how far is this from Greensburg, PA... Sounds tempting. sounds like a good place for RIM Racer repair/testing.

                            Hey 'Tech,

                            It's a full four hours, but it's a great reason to come up and play! I've been having to make the BUF-PGH run a few times in the last month for work, and it's a flat four hours from Lockport to Carnegie..... 79N-90E-290W-990N-263N-78N. That'll get you to within a half mile.
