Adjusting Chains and Jackshafts on a Max II

For anyone new to six wheelers, this is a short video showing you how to adjust the chains in a Max II. There are eight chains that need to be adjusted. The chains between the front and middle axles and the chains between the rear and middle axles are tightened using the ratcheting chain adjusters. The ones in the front are adjusted by pushing the adjusters down. The ones in the rear are adjusted by pulling the adjusters up. The remaining four chains are adjusted by moving the jackshafts. ...

Do you have a grooved axle and a shallow wallet? Well, here's the ticket for solving the problem without burning up the Visa card.

Repairing a grooved axle on the cheap: 1. Remove the axle. 2. Clamp it firmly in a smooth-jawed vice, with the groove about 6" from the jaws of the vice. 3. Using a wire brush in a 4" grinder, clean all the area in and around the groove, making it free of rust and gunk. Use a flat file gently on any high spots. 4. Use paper towels and wipe down the...

Well, I finally got this little project started. I think everything is going to work out good, but there is still some testing to do. I ran into a couple little issues, but nothing that can't be dealt with. Sorry about the length of the vids, it was hard to keep the time down on a project like this. I have only uploaded the first part so far, but PT-2 will be edited into this post tomorrow if possible. I have to say here that I'm NOT SURE if this will work with ALL Conquests. I have noted that some ...

i've needed to redo the seats in my wild wolf for as long as i've had it. the seat back was the original and shot, and the bottom was something i had quickly thrown together. last week after months of my son begging me to take him for a ride in my old bronco, i finally got the back seat down from the rafters of my shop and bolted it in. later that night it dawned on me that it would make a pretty good seat for the Wolf. i checked with the place i'd gotten my seat covers form when i built the bronco...

General - Purchasing your first six wheeler can be exciting and it is something that many of us remember well; Seeing it for the first time, the test drive, towing it home, taking it for a spin around the yard and realizing how quickly you can tear up the grass. But it can also be an intimidating process especially if you are not purchasing new. For some, a new six wheeler is simply out of the question. Whether it is financial concerns or simply that the six wheeler you are looking for is no...

How to build an angle iron body band The angle iron body band will strengthen the structure of your machine and also protect it again collision damage. It can also work for an attachment point for a roll bar or other structure such as a cab. I made mine for an Attex st300d but it will work with any aatv with a body seam. Jiggers for example don’t have the seam. Some models like the Max II have more bends but it’s all done the same way. If your machine is still equipped with a rubber bod...

I pulled my tracks off the other day, and found that I had 6 loose outer axle bearings. A couple of them were not too bad, and all of them would have been fine for a while. However, I had the parts and (I thought) a bit of time, before I was supposed to go for a ride with friends, so I replaced them. I ended up in a bit of a hurry. You won't find any white shop coats and clean hands in this vid, but if you want to see how to change a brng and seals on an Argo, you can check it out. Yes, I know ...

a few people were asking how i built the floor pan for my attex racer so i thought i'd just post it. the same bassic idea should work for other machines. i started with a peice of .090 aluminum 25 1/2 inches wide by 20 inches long. laid out all the cuts (first pic) and cut it out. on the inside where it goes around the laterals i punched the corners in a rotax punch with a 1" circle. the cutout for the foot brake got punched with a half inch. then use a band saw to make the cuts, and clean it up...

BEFORE YOU PULL! Practice using your winch before you get stuck. A real situation is no time to be learning how to use your winch. Make sure new wire rope is stretched before it is first used. Unspool the full length of the wire rope, leaving 5 wraps on the drum. Apply at least 500 pounds of tension.You can do this by setting up an anchor point and pulling your vehicle to it on a slightly inclined, flat surface and letting the vehicle roll. Whether you’re recovering another vehicle or pu...

-Only repair Polyethylene with Polyethylene -Heat an iron to 475-525 degrees -Apply heated iron to both surfaces simultaneously(one side of iron to damaged body and one side to repair piece) -Be sure not to melt completely through the surface to be repaired -A 1/8 inch bead around the edge of the iron is what you want to achieve -After both surfaces get a good melt, press together with 50lbs of pressure and hold for approximately 30 seconds or until cool *BE SURE NOT TO BURN YOURSELF WITH THE IRON ...
