Max 2 utv

Postby Rowdy Fitz » Fri Jul 23, 2021 3:08 am

I recently bought one, I plan to pick it up this weekend. It’s been sitting for quite a while. Anyone have one? What should I look into first? I know I’m gonna have to most likely rebuild the carb, change the oils, grease bearings, etc. What are their weak points?

For those who don’t know what they are, here’s a youtube video of one. They don’t come with tracks, this guy put them on it.

Yes sir, I plan to put tracks on it and build a cab for it. I also plan on putting front and rear rigging racks on it. But if for some reason I can’t I will build a trailer with sled skis or maybe tracks. That way I can haul a dog box. They’re rated to pull 1,000 lbs!

I'd be curious to see what its fuel consumption is like? How much snow are u anticipating running it in? Definitely looks like a fun toy!

Yeah, I’m gonna have to figure the fuel efficiency out when I get it running. Probably in up to 24” of snow. I don’t think I’ll get much over that in my area. I think as soon as the snow crusts over, this little guy will cruise everywhere no problem. I will keep 5-10 gal of extra fuel in the roof rack I’m thinking.

I saw a youtube video of someone running it in 24” of fresh powder. It looked like it compacted the snow down a foot. I’ll see if I can find that video.

This is a different style of track than I will be buying.

I would think as long as u keep the same trails or roads packed down all winter you would never have to much trouble. How wide is it?

Yeah, I believe you’re right. It’s 56” wide outside of tires, has a 6’ 7” wheel base and is 7’ 6” long over all.

I’m not sure, I haven’t ever drove one. I have a lot to do to this one before I can drive it. But yeah, I think they are. They have 400 and something cc 2 cyl Vanguards stock. I’m not sure if this one has a stock motor or not. I will have to pull it apart and service it to find out. Hopefully I will get my hunting truck put back together next week and then I’ll be able to start working on it.

That’s really cool! I’m hoping to be able to get the wife and kids to go hunting with me more, if I can get this one running.

So the VFD Chief took today off and went out of town to visit his daughter. I should have contacted him directly instead of telling his volunteers that I was going to be there today to get it… But he’s going to let me use his personal atv trailer to haul it homeIn 3 weeks when I head home again. I don’t have to winch it into the bed of my truck now lol.
