I started going through the 2007 Max to try and make it as water tight and dependable as I can. I removed the frame just to make sure there were no cracks and make sure it wasn't bent. It looks good, no rust and straight. I did find a spot where the chain rubbed on the bottom of the tub, it's no through the hull but has to be close! What would be the best way to strengthen it up? Try and weld it or rivet a patch over it or both?



When I disabled it I took pics of the axles so I could make sure it went back the same way.
Well not sure what happened to the pics on the camera but there not there! The only thing i'm not sure on is the washer that goes next to the gear. I think the front and middle axle has the washer to the outside of the gear and the rear is on the inside. I've looked at as many pics by searching and have not found any parts manual for the newer splined axle.



Need to get the frame back in so I can start making the UHMW extensions.
