New (to me) Max IV Project
I've wanted one of these for several years but just recently pulled the trigger. It's older (I was told it's a '93) but looks to be in very good shape for its age. As I go through it, I'm sure I'll find more things that aren't quite right. Sorry about the pics, my camera is old and the light was wrong.

The first item of business is to replace an axle. The PO attempted to weld it but freely admitted, "I'm no welder".

A couple of questions: The chains slide across the bottom of the tub. Are they supposed to be that slack or should I adjust them? Ignore the bent shift rod. I've since bent it back straight.

Also, I did drive it and it didn't have much power coming up a hill. Is that typical for an 18 HP Vanguard?
