Hey all,
I am new to the forum. I commercial fish in a remote part of western Alaska and have 2 3-wheelers out there. I bough them last season and since they are way out there and I am in Virginia I cannot remember what the exact models and years are for each. I need this so I can get parts.

So, Here are some images of one of the wheelers. I dont have pics of the other one. When I bought them, they came with a bunch of other stuff. When I looked at the bill of sale, it says "1984 and 1985 Big Red 3-wheelers." I assume this is right but not necessarily. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who sold them to me didn't know exactly what they were. Years might be right, might not be.

I dont know much about wheelers so your help in getting the year, and exact model for this wheeler would be great.

I think the one in the pictures is a 1984 ATC200ES Big Red but not totally sure.

Also, I have found a few sources for parts for these bad boys (the sources listed on this site actually) but If anyone knows any specific Big Red online (or book) repair sources, where I can get repair manuals, parts online, etc, I would appreciate that too.

Thanks everyone,
Traveler Terpening

BOS is correct - 84 200es and 85 250es - both big reds...as far as repair manuals...if you do a quick search you should be able to find one in .pdf for free, either from a member here or another site.

Thanks guys! That's a huge help. It was easy for you and impossible for me! ha.

I cannot find any images of the other wheeler! Damn. It never got used so we never shot any photos of it. Obviously a massive mistake.

So, if I ask this question I might be able to arrow it down. If I assume that it is indeed a 1985 and is in fact a Big Red, does that mean it has to be the 1985 Honda 250ES Big Red or could it still be something else?

If anyone is curious, here are some videos of my fish camp: Fishing (http://vimeo.com/14158293), Kiteboarding (with 3-wheeler action) (http://vimeo.com/14081910), and a bear eating salmon off the beach in front of my cabin (http://vimeo.com/14483943).
