My "New" Max II

[Heaven's Pavement]

Got My Max II last week.
The pic is where I got it from.
It has already gotten some TLC.
On the other side, rear tire had hole, took it off of the rime stripped it down, painted Satin Black, added green slime, all is well, will go through all of them til I can get new ones this fall.
Started stripping off black paint.
new oil, correct spark plug, changed trans fluid.
runs good, even got to drive for a bit, kids all taking turns, my 2 year old did not want to get out(even tough it died).
Wants to Idle a little high, and after running for a bit and warms up it dies.
I'm actually having fun, and I'm "hooked" fun machine.
As I have questions, I'm going to start other threads, hopfully with titles that will aid others using the search.
Never did find the Max II graphic on someones maxII, looked like MAX II with a cool "brush" look.
searched for days, no matter have plan "b", and I'm a ways out for that.

Made progress, cleaned carberator, cleaned by electrolisis the gas tank , to remove rust, repainted gas tank.
2 New fuel filters, and some carb adjustments.
Starts right up now, and runs much, much better.
took the kids for a ride, made my own trails in the yard, way too much fun.
On the road the kids commented on "I did not think it would go this fast"
Will have to clock with my gps.

If anyone is interested I'll post some pics....

The boyz and I

Here is a couple of pics of some of the boys and I.
The youngest has that look on his face because we stopped, he is the one that rides with me the most, have to shut the engine off before he will get out.
The machine still needs some tlc, hopefully I'll get the help I need here.
Sure is fun to drive.

Now the pics took, had to resize a few times...

Max II frame restoration progress

Some Pics of My Max II restoration progress.
Its totally in pieces right now, frame had LOTS of cracks. Learned to wield on this project(more tools)
I've had alot of fun , really, restoring this wee beasty.
After replacing the carb the motor ran awsome, then the tear down.
Well seasons are changing quicky here in Alaska and since my project is out side the pressure is on. We usually get snow my October 15th (bets down)and I do not know if I'll make it.
Sure miss driving it, it drives me on
Frame side view


Frame from rear view sports Richard relics chain tentioners(need to buy 2 more)


Serial number on frame, that was a cool find to me 4127my work schedule prevents me from getting ahold of RI and no email(that I am aware of) to find out year and maybe a little history
