I'm at the same point. I just bought a Mexican (basket case) version of a Max 2 called a Drago 2. I spent the last week cleaning all of the parts. I live in Mexico so I have to save everything I can, nuts and bolts included. I've got a lot of hours on the wire wheel cleaning off rust. I'm only in it for $500 dollars so I think I can afford to do a complete restore. It'll be interesting to see your progress.
Well good deal, you can hopefully learn from my mistakes
Frame and brake parts sprayed with POR 15
Try 2 large pipe wrenches. one on the sprocket tube inside the machine braced against the frame, and one outside the tub on the axle, which you jump up and down on. if you can get them to break free and spin independent of each other you can start working pb blaster in there and get them to slide. Ive tried everything and this is my go to method

oh got em out a long time ago but thanks
Made a little progress today after nut bolt and washer shopping. I have a long ways to go but I finally feel like I'm on the downhill side of the slope
That is beautiful. I just got my frame out of the tub. I got the rear axles free of the sprockets with a 10 ton porta power.
Hello LW1911, just curious how do you post multiple pictures on the same post?
