My old Honda was missing the front rack it originally came with, here's how I had it set up for ice fishing. I bolted a Mad Dog auger mount right to the back rack, and I had a folding 3 bucket rack hanging off the back as well.



The black box on the front is sitting on some pieces of flat bar that I made that rested on the front bumper and bolted to the existing rack mounts.

All things are possible with a welder...

The sterns mad dog auger rack will bolt to your rear cargo rack pretty easily. I like them because they support the weight of the power head, are nearly 100% secure, the price is pretty dang good, they are simple, and they won't bang your auger up. The velcro straps can be a pain with gloves on, but I am still a fan. I had a set on my wheeler...




Now I have a set on my fishing snow machine.




They work great.

You should check out Johnson Cargo Systems too. They sponsor us and have really great stuff. I checked out their racks at the ice show in St. Paul before they started sponsoring us and I was impressed with the quality.

If you are looking for a cheap setup that works great, use the Mad Dog. If you want to set that machine up for fishing, call Johnson's

Then mad dog looks pretty simple. I am looking for a decent set up as well

They have bolts and plates that work with the flat plastic racks like that sportsman, and U-bolts for use on tubular racks. Slick as snot.

I use Mad Dog gun holders on my Rancher, $20.00 at Wal Mart. Use a piece of pipe insulation with some cable ties to cover the rack where the auger powerhead rests, use a bungee cord to secure the auger.

I used a piece of angle iron for the handle and make like a t frame and put the angle iron at the top of the t  and use this u thing I found in my garage for the auger blade u could use a gun rack and I used a u clamp to put it on my front rack and used another clamp to hold the auger handle to the angle iron and use wing nuts to attach it and dear tach it sorry couldnt figure out how attach pictures hope this helps
