capable guy, hot rods, hi-perf boats, 25-30 sleds since childhood and on and on…new to wheelers tho.
picked up a bone stock arrow straight, 99% rust free, excellent plastics/seat, with reggie 96 TRX300 4×4 for $700 It looks 4-5 years old not 20
It’s been inside shed sitting/not running for better part of 6 years.
strokes over fine and feels good with kick.
Tires shot in every way wouldn’t even hold air so I refinished the wheels and did inexpensive Kenda Trail Master in stock sizes. $230
Idea was to do all fluids and fuel system and go from there.
Have on hand all new fluids/filters, Clarke tank (stocker sat dry too long it may be savable but don’t want to deal with it at this time) petcock, Caltric carb, fuel line, plug, battery…Clymer shop manual to help~$400
Will pursue brakes cables ect…
So I am in to this for about $1350 right now. As nice as it is, I figure if I’m all in it for $16-1700 when done, Ill get my $ worth riding around the ranch with the kids and doing some work here on my land.
So I’m ready to start tearing off the racks (fresh semi gloss) plastics (to ease the other work…
before I do this I want to get some ideas why the drivetrain is locked won’t rotate either way. I knew this when I bought it so I did take a little risk but if it’s cheap/easy fix and the rest pans out…I believe I score. If not I have maybe a little more in it than intended, but even if I buy others this workhorse will be around here for years.
So, any ideas? I need educatin’ on these things!
Thanks
