I'm working on a Z-526 to FS9 in 3DS Max 8. Yesterday I made

What are you naming the gear sections? Specifically.
What keyframes are you using? (0-100, 0-200, etc)
Have you already given it an exterior node?
What is the exact hierarchy of the gear parts (names and animations)?

I think I have the (sad) solution : MAX7 or 8 export the X file without animation. If you "checkboxing" the "Export animation" option when export the project then it creates two files: Myproject.X and Myproject.XANIM. After that I have to use XtoMDL.exe to convert X an XANIM files into one MDL.
It's sounds good for first, but this MDL works only in FSX, FS9 can not load that model file.

Okay - in rereading your original posting.
You're using the FS-X SDK (xtomdl.exe) to create a model file that you want to use in FS-9. You cannot.
From MAx8, you would have to export a "normal" x file somehow (I believe using a "Pandasoft" exporter?) and run it through the FS9 makemdl.exe program.
Alternatively, export to 3DS, import to gmax (which, since you know Max8, gmax is a piece of cake) and export from there with the FS9 gamepack.
The FS-X mdl file created is (basically) not functional in FS9
