I just picked up a lightly used 2007 Max II. It is a nice machine with 22 rawhides, rollbar, and heated throttle cable installed. Original owner is related to my wife and machine was only used a few times under 10 hours, but in salt water. Overall it looks brand new, but has good amount of surface rust on the chains and hubs from salt water exposure. Due to lack, of use he also just had a new carb installed and oil changed on the 16hp Vanguard. Overall, it seems to run really well

I plan to get some Bel-Ray chain lube later today and start to lube the chains. I also plan to grease up all the fittings and start to wire brush the rust off the hubs and coat with Por-15. I have always used Super Lube synthetic grease on my boat trailers so I plan to use on this as well.

Great site
