picked up a 1983 bigred today

[dirtdemon]

so i got this 1983 bigred in a trade for an old beatup jeep that barley ran and only sometimes would start. so back to the three wheeler so it has water in the cylnder not in the crank case. so tomarrow im going to pull the jug off and drain all fluids and check the berrings and see if i can get it running.then it that doesnt work ill split the cases and buy a new engine for like 50 bucks for a running one.

it has 22inch tires and 3 lug hubs but says 200e so did they come with 3 lugs?

[tri again]

dont split it.

just see if it runs, have a good laugh and THEN decide how much work you want to put into it.
or just ride it.

I have a 200 with 3 bolt hubs.

I think some 3 and 4 bolt hubs simply fit.

umm... why would you split the case?? that makes no sense, how do you know something in the motor is messed up??

I have an 85 big red and it has a squeal in the differential area . I need to start a post on here and can see where to start one . Can some one tell me where to start a new post?
Thanks, Chuck

Ps, or if anyone know what could be squeaking in the diff and how to fix it please let me know.
