ADAIR TRACKS, WITHOUT 'EM YOUR JUST SPINNING YOUR WHEELS
REMEMBER KIDS, THE FIRST "A" in AATV STANDS FOR AMPHIBIOUS
Whipper has finished the axles (look great) and will be shipping shortly. Roll cage is coming along nicely.
My two idler sprockets on the main drives have sloppy bearings and need replacing. What is the best option for new idler sprockets. Just buy new ones from RI?
Thanks

For the wheel drive chains running front to back I was considering getting rid of the stock adjustment system (to make a flatter floor) and going with a different system. Does anyone have any experience using a chain adjuster like the
"Floating-Style Self-Adjusting Roller Chain Tensioners"
shown here: McMaster-Carr
Thanks,

Was just starting to work on installing the new axles (from Whipper) and noticed that RI sent me inner bearings for 1 1/4" splined axles that have a two bolt bearing block. It appears from the current photos on the RI site that some splined axle max IV's use the old style, two piece, 4 bolt bearing holders. So thus I am assuming that the MAX IV came with four bolt inner bearing holders on the smooth axles (early), on some splined versions and went (or is going to) a two bolt block. My concern is that the inner frame will not contact the bearing block as well and could result, during use, in bending of the inner frame rails around the bearings. Does any forum members have experience with these two bolt inner bearings?
Thanks, Gary

Gary,
To the best of my knowledge, Recreatives always, and still does use the 4 bolt 2 piece flangettes for the inner bearings on the Max IV. They use the pillow block two bolt style on the Max II......this started in the late 90's I believe, maybe 1998 I'm guessing.
"Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"
Good catch. I now see that on the website for the MAX II. Thanks. Have left them a message.
Thanks,
Gary
