Might be able to have the meter fixed, or you could buy a used one for $100 or less. Still high as !. I sold my recently rebuilt 08 Foreman with PS for $3K a month or so ago. I was gonna see if I can get him down 600.00, question do you guys know of any issues with the newer ranchers, cause I like em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buying a I6 and swapping it in is cheap and easy. Regearing two diffs isn't. Here's Dad's 85 Scrambler. Base model, 258 with T176. Has a hair under 5K miles on it now. I know right, I mean used trucks are out of site, that's why I'm looking at ATVs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea on the newer ones. The older 420's tended to have a weak 4th gear, crappy rear ends, and the fuel pump/fuel filters can give you fits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I can see the tank looks like it's easier to service being in the spot it is. Edited December 4, 2020 by F250 guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking for fuel for injection then a member found this one. Reason was is I was and still am looking for something I could do tire and shock upgrades on. 3,600 is the price. Guy says it needs only the speedometer fixed. Edited December 5, 2020 by F250 guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
