The best Thanksgivng ever...full of food and selling and trading ATV/ATC's

[200XMichigan]

So at the beginning of this week I had decided to sell off/trade a lot of things I wasn't using on craigslist in the attempt to trade or get enough money for a nice utility trike, or even a quad if it was a trade and could tow a lot, but I wanted a Big Red. Well I had for trade or sale a Ford F-250 diesel with a spun rod bearing, an old Bolens tractor with a snowblower and mower that ran but smoked like a train it needed rings so bad, a somemore odds and ends. Well after selling the tractor for $300, then traded the Ford to a guy with a LT230S quad that needed some work, sold that in 12 hours on Thanksgiving morning for $350. And at 9 pm on Thanksgiving night I was having a 250ES Big Red brought to my door. The guy had to go downstate for the weekend and said it would be easier if I couldn't make it over there he would bring it by. So I never left my house and at the end of the week turned 2 broken old toys into one nice 250ES, starts up great. Going to give it a full tune up after the snow stops. I have wanted one of these for a long time.

Here's a link to the one I bought, I'll take some pictures after the snow stops......

Oh yeah and I woke up this morning to snow and my very own Big Red 250ES.

Good deal! Nuthin like gettin rid of some old, used up stuff and getting something good in return. That Big Rednlooks pretty good. I see it has the kicker side cover, bonus.

You are going to really enjoy that BigRed in that area of Michigan. Lots of great trail riding in the area up there.
I sure like my 85 Bigred for Michigan trail riding.
Nice job Cayce.

That is a nice looking Big Red you got. Good work on horse trading. I love my 85 BR. Great trail bike like the others have said, and great workhorse too.

that BR has an early 200 headlight on it. Looks like a solid bike! It wont let you down :D

I am stoked, went out today and got some Valvoline 10-40 motorcycle oil and a new filter. It runs great. Going to change the diff fluid soon. Give it a good tune up. I have wanted the 250ES for a while. There is a lot less stuff in my yard and now I have a Big Red that starts and runs great. Got a crack on the rear fender that's been repaired but that's no big deal. A little bit of work and this thing will look great.

Yeah I can't wait to take it on the trails, there are a lot of muddy sections that the 200X and YT175 didn't want to make it through.
