as a kid (35+ years ago) I used to ride one of the old honda big red atc’s and I managed to not kill myself. recently a rancher quad with a seriously rotted out frame fell into my greasy paws……as if my other toys and family were not using enough of my feeble cash resources…
I will be asking some questions about different frames and their interchangeability specifically the rancher I got is a 350 with the following on the front of the frame : trx350fm4 2004 code r232 seems to be a manual shift full time 4wd.
it was used by a beach rescue group on one of the local beaches to put small boats and jet skis into the water so the frame is totally rotted out by salt water corrosion. When I say rotted out, the bottom of the frame separated and now I have a sway backed ATV 🙂
If I was stationed in the states it would not be a big deal, but being stationed overseas with the military it is hard to get any info on this thing.
there are several on ebay but I am not sure if they fit..evidentally there are some differences between the 2wd and 4wd frames though some auctions list them as the same.
can anyone help with info as to if the frames are different or the same? as long as the driveline lines up properly i do not care…I can weld tabs or brackets for the fenders if they line up differently.
