I went to pick up this 200es parts machine. The cool part was the guy had a bunch of other 3 wheelers. He lead me on a tour of 5-6 of his restored ATC 70's and a yamaha 60. He also had a 1987 Big red with factory front box/plow and a bunch of other stuff for it. While I prefer my 84, it seemed like a nice machine. In reading, it seems the 1987 is somewhat rare. Well I got some cell phone pics of the 87, not so good but here is the parts machine I came home with. Cheap, but nothin to really look at.

Nothing to look at?? Parts are always great!

I see a very nice JD loader there :D

I've got a monster 500C BHL myself, couldn't have built the track without it!!

baaa..that is the 'lawn mower' that I convinced my wife I needed. Never did get the deck for it!

[mad]

did the john deere come with the parts machine????

[plastikosmd]

Well what is better than 1 parts bike in a weekend? well a second parts bike. Guy had an 85 in good condition..and this 86...85 was long gone when I got there but I grabbed the 86. It really isnt a parts bike, it runs. Only major issue is it has a pin-hole in the rad..and needs a throttle (twist or thumb). I have a project in mind for this. Waterpumpers around here seem to command high prices, deal was well under 1k..and I wanted another 86 so it worked out. more to follow on the teardown..etc. It seems someone did some 'carrier' work. Not sure what the 2 bolts and crappy welds are holding..maybe the bearings.

[Dirtcrasher]

OMG!!

That swinger got HACKED!! Stupid people..... I bet it IS holding in the friggen bearings :D

Can't wait till you get it apart

[tri-Z ripper]

wanna sell or trade it? :lol:

[plastikosmd]

naw..gonna be a missile. havent decided if I am gonna fab up the new swingarm or buy one. I'm hopin I can restore this swingarm. As long as they didnt spin the bearings......
