Grandpa had this same machine, same color, Agree, love the tan/sand. He rolled it into his pond, we never let him live it down. Can't believe it popped off. Fantastic cap to the year, thanks for all the great videos.
Great save! 2 Recon rear end jobs this month alone at the shop. Both full of mud and some water, all the lube pushed out and new axles, bearings and seals, even the pinion was rocking in place. Both had hubs welded of course! Very lucky it wasn't the ES model, but again, you seem to have lived the kind of life that allows you to be rewarded on a pretty regular basis, enjoy. I would yank the staples out of that seat cover, separate the foam from the base and stand it up to let gravity help drain the water, then let the fan have it's way with it. Those little drain holes won't allow enough air in there to dry it. The heaviest saturated seat I ever recovered was from a Polaris Sportsman 500 that weighed in ay about 30 lbs. wet. Keep on the path that you chose.
We had an 1983 Bonneville car that sat at the bottom of the lake Simcoe for a month finally got it out before break up and drove it for another 2 years. Gages never worked again and it always smelt like fish but it drove just fine. We put it in the garage got the fire going and had it running in a couple days
I have done the same but different, I took the oil drain bolt out and the fill cap out then used a propane torch to help heat the metal and water up to get out worked pretty good only had to change the oil and filter once.
Awesome video man! We have a 300 like that in my mother in laws barn that hasn’t ran in years. I need to go dig it out and get it going. Congrats on the 11k!
In our area because only a 250 and not 4x4 only worth about 1200 to 1400. 400 but still got new battery, couple oil changes, starter solenoid, air filter and lots of cleaning. But should still make some profit and on to the next.
Looks like a man could put a saddle on that spider a ride it lol, that thing look like a giant Tennessee water spider , great video as usual man , keep em coming

good thinking, Heat is your friend. whether by torch or running the engine.

Thanks Andy, who knew a 1988 250x cdi was the same as a 2003 250 recon! Crazy
Wow! Some luck, elbow grease, and patience. Awesome video brother. Good way to finish the year.
Thanks Pat! I love this color! Frame looks great too.
Great save. Goes to show ya just when you think it's done for, just slow down and methodically go thru it and chances are it can be saved.
Thank you, thanks for watching. Its just a puzzle.
Save it ! Always fun a project 🇨🇦

All in around $600 i think it can bring 1600 to 1800 which is a great return on my investment. You cant do that at the bank in less than 2 weeks.
Awesome brother. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you too Cain, thanks for being such a great supporter of my silly videos.
i like the front basket/rack pretty sweet the desert sand color is sweet. and looks like you got a new shop buddy lol.

Lol, that was funny
Looks like a man could put a saddle on that spider a ride it lol, that thing look like a giant Tennessee water spider , great video as usual man , keep em coming
Thank you. He was a biggie, image him crawling up your back when you ride it!
@@Mrcbuilds I’d jump off and the four wheeler would have to be on auto pilot for a bit 😂
Nice Save Honda for Yeah
Yes, honda for the win!
Awesome video! Have you done a video on that 250sx on the shelf??
Yes I have, a tank cleaning / coating video it is nearly 100% OE and really doesn't need anything. lol
These 250s had 2 common issues. Oil pump chain failure and rod bearing failure.
Cool vid great channel I found your channel a couple weeks ago and have liked it ever since 👍 can you please do more stuff with the 70 you got later on
Sure thing Johnny there is always something to tinker on.
@@Mrcbuildsthanks for responding 👍
Captain Weezy 🤘🏻
Yes sir.
It's not hard to save a flooded ATV especially carbureted But first thing you don't do is let it sit for 3 months With all the water in it.
The sooner you can get the water oit the better off you will be. Also this was fresh water and not salt water, that would have been worse.
Should drain all the fluid on the 4 weeler
I covered that
