It cleaned up pretty well, considering it's been sitting out behind a guy's shed for quite a few years. I pulled the engine back out while I wait for crank seals. Questions: What do the windshields on these machines use to hold them up, and where does the fuel line route from the tank to the pump?
Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

Don, that looks pretty good. The wheels are a nice touch as always.
I realize there are years of difference along with different motors between our Max II's but on mine the fuel line runs on top of the passenger side of the lower tub. Check out this picture:
There are zip tie holders attached to the tub every foot or two that you can use to secure the fuel line to the tub. I believe they are riveted to the body but I may be wrong.
Another great looking machine there Don!!! Will this machine be part of the stable I have never seen a Big Max.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"
Looks great, Don! Most of the older Max II's that I've owned used the same method that you are using to hold the windshiled up with now. I don't know if that was original or not. Now they have a chrome bar that folds down along the side of the machine (on both sides) to support the windshield. Also, I see it has the optional 3 point roll bar attachment. From what I've read in a vintage Max brochure, this was an accessory to add to your Max II if you were to use it for racing. I guess it attaches to the hitch and it kept you legal for the NATAV races back then.

Here we are taking a break following our first trip out in the Max IV.
Tractor suspension seat really helps soak up the bumps.
I pushed the 20 HP Magnum Kohler in this Max to the max. From sand bar jumping in the river to steep inclines and declines, over downed trees, through mud bogs that would bury the Praire 4x4 700 in the background, down through tight twisty trails at full throttle etc.
This AATV rocks!!!
