Davids 2010 Mudd Ox

[mudbug3]

The wide 26" inch, ASX tires sure give my Mudd-Ox a whole different look when compared to the thinner 25" inch rawhides that came on it when I first picked it up at river run atv park. These are some atv tires with attitude , thats for sure!

I spent a lot time cleaning my Mudd-Ox when I got it home to get it looking like it should look.

Got a chance to watch the video today and Wow, Dave!!! Sure looks nice with those vamps. Cant wait to see it in action!

David that thing looks bad to the bone, now put that thing in the mud and lets see how it performs. So what if you get stuck, everyone gets stuck, lets see what those tires will do on that awesome Ox. Ya I know, you never get stuck with the tracks, but, I'll bet that you will have performance very close to the tracks. Give it a try okay? Take it to river run, quads will stop a stare! I'll bet it will swim with the ASX tires set like you have them!

Wow, That thing looks bad to the bone. Nice aggressive stance. Can't wait to see it in the thick mud of East Texas.

[Matt O.]

WOW Dave that looks great with the wheels pushed out 5".

Yeah, it sure gives it a really aggressive look with the 5 inch , wheel extentions on it, but its way too wide for the trails at river run atv park. I,ve already cracked a 8 inch peice off one end of the mud flaps that Tim made for it the day after I got it.

Some Pictures of the new Adair Mudd Ox Tracks

Here are some pictures of the Mudd Ox with the Adair Track system running a stronger more heavy duty chain and 1 inch wheel extensions. David will shortly have a set of the these tracks on his Mudd Ox. The Machine should be the absolute trail boss with this new system and I look forward to seeing them in operation.

Those one inch spacers really bring the tracks in a whole lot closer towards the lower tub. These one inch wheel spacers give the Adair , 14 inch tracks about 1 3/4" inch of inner tub clearance I was told. With my tracks pulled in this close, this will make my Mudd-Ox a lot easier to trail ride.

David, did you notice that the grousers are longer, they extend downward almost touching the metal rim. That is a whole lot of free extra traction when you are in deep mud. take a look at the track on the right side in the third picture.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. That will make it even harder to walk out of a track with the entended length on the side of each grouser.

Yammadog and Bubba Hunt have both posted that they have,nt noticed any chain stretch or a need for tightening the chains on their Mudd-Ox. When I took possession of my Mudd-Ox at river run atv park , it was a demo with 28 hours on it. Maybe the dealer and the people who demo,ed this Mudd-Ox all drove it like they stole it, and thats why I have an issue with my middle and rear chains needing tightening so much. Roger helped me take off the tracks and 5 inch wheel extensions after every one that came to ride with us had left, to make riding with tires easier to trail ride. I tightened my chains before we went riding ,and 5 hours later I could hear them slapping against the frame rails. If you have watched any of my Mudd-Ox video,s , you can see that I don,t ride that aggressive. I called Tim, Mark, and another Mudd-Ox dealer to make sure that I was adjusting my chains correctly, and found out that I was. That being said, I have to assume that Matt is now installing heavier duty chains that have been pre-stretched already.

[Bud]

Are the chains stretching that much, or are the adjusters slipping or losing their position?

That is a good point that you brought up , but thats not the problem. Each time that I,ve had to make an adjustment on the middle and rear chains , I,ve always had to break loose the bolt on the side of the tensioner that keeps the chain tight. I talked to akexpress on the phone and he told me that in the first 40-50 hours the chain stretches quite dramatically on a Mudd-OX , then needs less adjustment later on. I,m sure that the hydrolic motors put a lot of torque on the chains , but I did,nt think the chains would stretch this much since they,re double 60. I,ve heard that Diamond makes chain that has been prestretched , so maybe Matt has now went to a heavier duty chain on the new models or refurbished ones?

Wow, that can't be much fun. Hope you get that resolved, especially since you waited over a year for it. BTW, Mudbug, Roger mentioned that you also were getting some bells & whistles with the demo, but no one said what you were getting or got.
