    My Max II left me thumbing a ride

    Was back to the deer camp hauling some building materials.... a load too heavy for the 4-wheelers. and I think I have thrown a drive chain on the left front wheel.

    So, had to hitch a ride out on ,.... yup, a 4 - wheeler....

    have to gather up some tools and try to make repair in the woods to bring her home today.

    The little Max can pull a big load, the chain tensioner must have broke or loosened the chain on the last hill.

    I've walked home a few times a few years back. It just makes you a better mechanic and inspector. I'm certain you will look the machine over really well before you go on your next adventure. You also learn what tools and spares to keep in your tool box.

    Ya your right. Once I pulled the floor pan, found the chain had jumped the front sprocket. Had it back on and readjusted the tensioners and was on my way. Could have fixed the first day had I known a little more about the adjustment of the chains.

    Well, I will spend a little time with Max in the shop and learn a bit more about his works before I have to walk again.
    This site is a great resource for all aspects of these machines.
