Not sure if this is the right place… but OT seemed too OT.

Basically I picked up a 95 MAXII from a buddy of mine for free. No motor. No seat, no pans, and about 4" of sitting water in it.

Started stripping it the night I got it home, and the entire frame was rusted. Everything came off it pretty easily though, as it was only surface rust. I knew I needed a motor, seat, floorpan, and possibly a whole crap load of other stuff.

Started off with this:

 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-09-07_1852.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-09-07_1852.jpg)

18HP B&S Vanguard V-Twin. Should make decent TQ and will make a little more HP with a re-jetting. A friend of mine has a cam in his, makes about 24hp.

This parts cart has the Skidsteer transmission, that I hope works, and all the other crap I pulled off of the frame so I could clean it up.

 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1150.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1150.jpg)

Here is the frame… looking to sandblast it or something… can’t wirebrush much more of it.

 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1151.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1151.jpg)

Storage for the body.  
Had my little brother hold the front while it was being hung by rachet straps, then I picked up the back and had him zip tie it up… and then did the front. Took up ay too much room on the floor, and now I can store stuff underneath it.  
 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1154.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1154.jpg)

 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1152.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1152.jpg)

This is the stuff underneath it.  
Came with like new wheels/tires. Lawnmower, trailers, sprayers, and weed wackers fit nicely under there. All this stuff was free. So was the leaf blower.

 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1153.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1153.jpg)

When the 6 wheeler is done, I’ll be moving on to the Blaster. This thing rips… it is actually quicker than a stock Banshee… Needs motor mounts and a piece if the frame put back in… lol

 ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1155.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Toys/01-18-07_1155.jpg)

So thats what I’ve been up to. I’m out of room in the barn already… I’ll probably throw a leantoo on the back of it for the toys, and put up a 2 car garage attached to the house for the trucks.

Care to make a wager?

I just happen to know a retarded 150lb 16yr old… who just happens to almost know how to rip through the gears…

0- till the Blaster tops out? How much is it worth?

Yup, they float like a boat. A friend of mine put a small boat motor on the back of his with a purge pump… does like 7-10 in the water now, instead of 3-5.

Jack did they make those things in buffalo? I seem to remember that for some reason. They might still make them here as far as I know. Definately cool if you have land to ride around in it on.

Still trying to figure out what is wrong with the wire harness… or whats wrong with me that I can’t get the wire harness to work. 🙂

So now, I pull start (1 pull) and then choke it to kill it. Rode it around for like 20 minutes on a flat tire and no seat…
