hunting big red

[Bigtyny]

I am wanting to set my big red 200e up for hunting is there any tips to set them up? I hunting with dogs and am trying to see how to fit a box on back or make a trailer.

[Thorpe]

How many dogs? I would probably build a small trailer with atv tires if it were me... I love my BR for hunting... Here it is hauling out my deerstand and ladder, and pulling my ice house and auger too...

[Bigtyny]

I have 2 mountain cur pups but I am trying to find another to help train I want to road hunt more squirrel are thin nice pics I need something to haul deer too my friend got a spike and that thing was hard to carry 2 and a 1/2 miles

[Bigtyny]

have not got my book yet so I got some question. what is the thing called were you put the oil in the guy lost it ?I thing its the oil plug but not sure. What size bolts are the pullstart housing? the seat has alot of wear were can I get a cover and foam? the brakes don't work how hard are they to fix?

[Bigtyny]

[Xpress]

The dip stick is usually the cap on ATV's..

[Bigtyny]

Where to get parts really depends on what parts you need... The classified forum is always a good place to start. Lots of great guys (and gals) here on the forum with parts galore...

Sorry dont mean to thread jack, but damn THORPE you got a nice BR!!! Best looking one ive ever seen!!!

[Thorpe]

Thanks... I like it!

[Grizzlypeg]

I'm thinking a trailer is more practical. I plan to make up some sort of trailer or winter sled for coyote hunting. There's lots to haul when you have decoys, tools, etc.

[Thorpe]

I think something like this with ATV tires (soft and quiet) would be the ticket...

[MotorCity]

Great pics thorpe of your big red on the ice and in the woods gettin the deer.... thats exactly what I bought my big red for.

[Bigtyny]

I can't download I am on ps3.

ooo don't you worry thorpe's gonna have some competition when i get my BR rebuilt.... only thing throwing me for a loop is this job transfer :-(

as for bigtyny i have a lot of stuff let me know what you need i will see if i either have it, or know where you can get it. the classified here are definitely a great place to begin, also eBay has good used parts. any ways let me know and good luck on your hunting trike i bet it will look good.

thorpe those two deer road kill or what, one to a tire:)

[Thorpe]

7mm rem mag and a 30.06 kill.... Didnt even need to run them over!

[motoman1012002]

I need to find some pic of mine in use but this is what the old red hookd up to last nov

[motoman1012002]

oh yeah where I hunt cant use high powered rifle only shotgun or muzzle loader got him with my encore slug at 98 yrds

[muddog]

if your going with a trailer make sure it is properly balanced as not to cause the front end to continuously lift

Brakes, check out denniskirk.com

Pull start, check here in the classifieds or ebay...

[Bigtyny]

what is a good brand of brakes

[Thorpe]

SBC, EBC, Parts Unlimited.... Its a BR, no real performance, so whatever fits....

'we've been known to use an old car hood around the farm and you can get them free at a junkyard.

one with a rudder/keel down the middle is best.
Some old pontiac or studebaker hoods look like spaceships

Heck, we used an old aluminum rowboat for years as a sled in the snow.

Come to think of it, we've dragged firewood and stuff on a vinyl swimming pool liner behind a b red. It's got that rip stop nylon embedded in it and is impossible to rip.

Wheelbarrow tires already have bearings in them as do some ride mower tires.

Saw some cheap as can be at harborfreight.

Dead trike tires can be filled with that expanding insulation foam.
try mashing some sometime. even stays inside a sun ripped sidewall costs money to throw away tires.

The only prob for me is finding/fabricating and axle/bearing deal. to make trike tires..wheels...hubs..etcetc work. altho that would be the ultimate.

we got a garden tractor dump trailer at a garage sale with one wasted tire and bearings falling out of the hub for 10$...slipped on some semi rotten ride mower tires filled with foam over the 1/2" axle that was already there and we were DONE in less than 5 minutes.

decoys and most tools don't usually care about suspension

[tri again]

There a guy a page or 2 back did the trike tire 'garden trailer' fab.

guess he used some bearing towers from a mower deck so each tire would spin independently instead of typical trike posidrive by using a full live axle.
