New here but not new to building and moding bikes. I have had a few over the years. Currently own 2 Polaris quads. Picked up the 1st one a month ago. 95 Magnum 425 4x4. Paid $300. Had to fix a few things. Still need to fix a few things. Had to replace a rear tire. It was stuck in low gear. It had no brakes. It had sat for almost 2 years. Put in a new battery and fresh gas and it lit rite off. Still needs new chains and new brake lines. As well as some electrical work. But the 4WD works. Needs a new set of bearings and a cv on the left front.
Second one I just got on Tuesday. 97 Explorer 300. $800. Was flooded worse than Ive ever seen one. Had a loose rear hub. Had the rear wheels on backwards. Just welded up all the cracks in the wheel around the lug holes where they put it on and cranked it down. Needs new chaims as well as rear sprockets. But it runs good and everything works but the 4wd. Has a busted wire at the strut hub. Easy fix. It also needs a left front cv. I will be trying to make these into reliable rigs for my Dad and I as he is disabled and cant get around to well anymore. Good way to get him outside and doing stuff again. His depression is like a cloud around him.
