  • Max 2 engine swap questions

    Hi guys, thought I'd reach out into the 6x6 world for some help.. I'm in the process of restoring a long neglected 1970 Max II.. It's quite a process too. Luckily I don't think it actually had much run time on it.. Anyways, it was originally a JLO 295 powered machine, and I'm working on swapping in a Honda GX610.. Reason being is even though the 295 is perfectly fine, I'm not really a 2 stroke guy, never liked them. Other than the transmission clutch spring, what all else should I watch for? I've done a lot of creeping around on the forums here and have learned a lot about engine swaps and such, but Honda swaps are still sort of uncharted territory.. The part that makes this hard for me is I'm doing this on a college kid budget.. (I got the Honda for free with 5 others ranging from 11-20 hp on a truck deal a few years back) Not to load this post with too many questions, but does anyone know where I can get a clutch for this engine without draining my wallet? lol.. And what kind of options do I honestly have for a voltage regulator on it? When I got it, the engine stop diode was bad(reason it was warrantied by ditch witch, whole nother story) and it didn't have a voltage regulator on it. Has anyone used a universal regulator or something of the sort? I'm sure I'll come up with more questions, but for now this is all.. Thanks in advance to all.

    I think I still have a complete wiring harness with a voltage regulator and key switch from a comercial mower. I also have a wiring diagram somewhere in My photobucket. should have just a regulator to if thats all Your lookin' for.
    There was 2 different models of the GX610 and many parts do not swap between the 2. The comercial 610 has the intake manifold bolted to the head in the valley and the lawn & garden style had the intake bolted to the side of the head like the briggs v-twins. I'll look to see what I have today and post some pictures.
