A Message from Mudd-Ox Inc.
Thank you for choosing the Mudd-Ox as your new amphibious ATV.
We began designing the first Mudd-Ox in 2005, spending years testing and developing the ultimate amphibious vehicle. The first pro-
duction machine rolled off the line in 2008 and was shipped to Australia. Since then, we have expanded our model lineup to include the
Mudd-Ox GT, XL, Fort Mac, and Vengeance to suit all your outdoor needs. Our journey has continued to be full of adventure.
Safety is the number one concern at Mudd-Ox Inc. Please be sure to read and follow the operation manual to ensure the safety of yourself
and others around the Mudd-Ox.
Mudd-Ox is proudly made in the USA. Our headquarters and manufacturing facility are located near the historic town of Shipshewana,
Indiana. We welcome everyone to come visit our facility and take in the local beauty that is rural Indiana.

Identify Your Mudd-Ox
PIN Plate
Every Mudd-Ox has its own unique identification plate. It notates the Model and Product Identification Number (PIN). This infor-
mation is vital for identifying each individual Mudd-Ox and obtaining a state-issued title. Do not remove the PIN plate from the
Mudd-Ox.
Locating the PIN
On the interior of the Mudd-Ox in front of the parking brake handle locates the PIN plate. It is visible without removing any compo-
nents, however removing the lower seat is recommended for best visibility.

Identify Your Mudd-Ox Cont.
