So I picked up this 400, ended up costing me a 28 pack of Budwieser ($41 here in Canada, insane) off my uncle. Needs some work but the price was right. Where is the VIN on this thing? I looked on the frame by the shifter and see a spot that looked like a tag used to be on there but it’s missing. But then I noticed some numbers on the plastic thing ontop the air box. Looks like it’s got a serial number and a date on it. This the VIN and build date? If so its a ’95. I know it started and ran good last year but it’s been sitting since because the shifter is all messed up.
So that leads me to my second question, the shifter wiggles around and won’t shift the transmission at all. It won’t move the two rods going to the transmission at all, so are parts available for that or is there a common part to wear out or deteriorate or break in there or anything else you can lead me too?
Needs tires and a few other things but I’m going to get it going and run if for a while before I start spending big money. If it doesn’t pan out I’m sure I can pawn it off and not loose any money on it. Anything else I should know about this thing?
