This is the mid 90's Max II from Toledo, Ohio Craigslist. I recognize this machine. Those tabs were added by someone, they're not a factory installed option. I really have no idea what the guy put them on there for.

Looks like something to do with either a folded down windshield or auxiliary lights.

Always happy to help! And thanks to Amphibious Drew on this too, his digging found out some very important info on the machine to help leverage a better deal. Glad to hear it's up and going. The 18HP Briggs is a GREAT engine for a smaller machine like a Max II.....certainly lots of power.
