Thanks for clueing me in to where some stuff went Shade. Gotta put in a hardware order for a few clips/etc to get it right again. But I did best I could with hardware in hand. here she is after 10 weeks. Finally has plastic reinstalled.

Thanks for the pictures I can get you taken care of no problem, looks like you have sunburn damage, possible water intrusion I sent you my contact info in a message if you like to get it repaired If for some reason I am unable to there is no charge Been doing this for years now and have seen just about everything imaginable -lol

Funny enough, I quite like the grey, it looks galvanised from a distance! I will have guards over the pulleys, but where the tensioner is, I will leave it bare so I can see if the lower belt is slipping or not. The rear wheels also need a front mud guard to stop dirt flicking onto the deck when travelling to or from a field

Thanks! I like the LEDs too, but understand Shade's desire to keep things looking stock. I did go out for a ride around tonight after dark. Fancy LEDs didnt' come on with switch. Gotta sort out the wiring issue. I thought I'd had them turned on when I bought it before I pulled the fender. Not sure what's wrong...but I'll get it sorted.

any word on the where abouts of your bearing and plugs ?.

I picked up a non running 1985 Honda ATC 200X last night (3 wheeler) and got it running this morning. It wouldn't rev more than 1/4 throttle and would just blow white smoke, so I figured rings maybe. I removed the engine from the bike & tore it apart and found this. I can feel the scoring, mainly on the cylinder, and the piston top and vavles have grainy, sandy substances on them. I've never tore into an engine before so forgive any dumb questions. What's the next step? I did see a website that would bore the cylinder and provide a matching piston & gaskets for $155 + shipping both ways. http://www.ghdiscountatvsupply.com/1983-1985-honda-200x-engine-motor-top-kit-machining-service/

As long as it's not yellow again it doesn't bother me what colour is it😂 Yeah I'll try get my friend to video it later on, I have a 3 hour drive to get to his place and its currently gale force wind and rain here, hopefully tomorrows weather will be better 🤞

Been checking the tracking every day lol. Looks like it's just about to leave you guys and head off over the pond 🙂

been a while sence I've heard the statement, (gully washers) ... last one i recall was back when i was a very young man ... we had a drought year .... so not much growth to soak the flood waters in... this is pretty much what most of the farm land looked like whether it was crop, land or pasture ... bunch a farmers folded over that mess... i-65 along with highway 31 were closed in certain spots ..and after the flood .. it was a total mess.... roads washed away ... creeks littered .. with what ever you could think of ... dead animals ... lawn fixtures ... all kinds of trash .. ... dairy farm slury pond run off .. etc ...

looks great! now just shoot it green and yellow ;) by the new design ... i take your lieving the timing belt cover off... ? IMO thats a great idea ... now you can check the condition of that timing belt at a glance, plus keep that area clean of debris kicked up.

ooochh !..lol.

Last word was the parts were in a sea can going thru the Bermuda Triangle at 17 knots heading to customs / quarantine in the UK , LOL --- I am going to guess 45 days to get there

Its done! Bar a few mods I need to finish like pulley guards and mud guards on both quad and mower. We brought it for a test run but the grass is very wet so it wasn't the best test, but it still cut fine. More to come in a day or 2, I have to go back to my friend tomorrow and finish the field I started😁

Under front of tank?

Dangit. Beat me to it. My wife is always the first to throw out the "That's what she said"

Cool morning here, 7C overnight going to a high of 23, should be a nice day for working outside.

Welcome to the board. Given your interests, you should fit right in.

Oh man, that's terrible, and you got BLM walking into neighborhoods in Seattle demanding that people give up their homes, that it was a predominantly black neighborhood and "they stole it by buying it for less than it was worth!!" Asking the residents "How are you going to fix this?" And yelling "Open your wallet!!" A lady makes a mistake and possibly faces 10 years, something not right here. Nothing being done in Seattle. My brother-in-law's sister is leaving Seattle after 35 years of living there because of this crap. What a shame.

never did find the PSU, i ordered another one. i still got hope for the 64 ford tractor starter. i know i moved it. an i think i did make it safe. now where i put it, i think its in my shed. probably have to buy another one of those, also. the 2002 dell must weigh at least at least 2/3 times more, even 3/4 times as the 600 mid-tower. loaded with the newer components. [such, as progress], but the size of the SSD 1TB surprised me. Takes a lot to get me surprised, but then, have you ever seen a horse drive a car? granted i'll never get up to your level of computer understanding. but i dont care. i like knowing people that are smarter than me. [when i can find them] lol, on me. i know horses some, an i learned how to let a horse run v/s make a horse run. i got a 34 and change out at church hill downs, 34.7 an could pushed the horse two seconds faster 32.7, but the horse was green, a three yr. old, and handled so easy, i didnt know how fast i was going. if i had, i would have slowed down. 12 sec. a pole= 96 sec. a mile. i was only going 3/8. 3x12=36; 8/8 = 1 mile whoops, i got off on a tangent, what was i talking about?

i see one problem already ! ( never can figure out how ppl miss it ? )..lol. there is suppose to be a metal clip on the switch housing, clips over the end of housing, around the grooves in the cable, # 36, https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/1996/trx300fw-a-fourtrax-300-4x4/handle-switch-cables . it keeps the cable from moving, and lets the inner part slide.
