New guy here, but not new to forums.

When I was a kid dad bought a 1996 Foreman 400 with 38 hours on it from an old guy…it was practically brand new. 19 years of hard use on the farm/ranch and my dad finally had to replace it. The engine is weak, brakes are shot, shifter post broke off inside the engine, etc. He recently replaced it with a 2014 Foreman and said I could have the old one. I took him up on the offer and will be driving home to pick it up this summer. I was going to rebuild the old engine but found a pretty decent deal on ebay on an engine with supposedly ~500 hours and 125psi compression. He was asking $899 but accepted my offer of $750 so couldn’t pass it up. If the engine is any good, my plan is to try and make a decent four-wheeler between the two of them. Dad just had the tires, front differential and cv shafts replaced so really all I’ll need to do is replace the engine, fix the brakes, and I should (hopefully) have a pretty decent four-wheeler for under $1,000 that the wife and kids can play on. I had pictures of it (it looks pretty tough) but can’t seem to find them. Just wanted to share the beginning of my journey on this project.
