I believe he said that the suspension was removed so now he can’t roll it anywhere even if he wanted to but i can’t remember and can’t be bothered to double check
That's why you don't let friends store stuff "temporarily" on your property. Unless you're willing to have it there permanently, force the issue, and/or dispose of it yourself.
@@jackallen6261 nope then you just replace it with a new one and continue using it that's call maintenance boy it ensures the machine lasts a whole lot longer
Back in the '80s sometime, my grandfather bought one of the early Honda ATVs. The ones with _three_ wheels. I think everyone in the extended family rolled that thing at one time or another. I know I did. Amazingly, none of us was killed to death, somehow (in my case, it's because it was winter and there was a lot of lovely soft snow around to fall into).
Totally understandable that you have it for sentimental reasons. I have some great memories 4-wheeling around on my grandfather's 4 wheeler myself. We had actually planned on getting it, but it went to other family. At least its still in the family tho.
2:40 the 4x4 trail boss of that age turns just as easy as the 2wd version while in 2wd due to it having electric locking hubs. In 4x4 it does turn pretty hard.
Fun fact. On the 4x4 models, 4 wheel drive does not engage at low speeds. They used a centrifugal bearing thing that kicks out at high speeds. Kind of a cool system.
Hey man. From personal experience be careful with those self oiling pumps. They like to fail randomly and without warning. Im sure you can put that one together. I personally delete them when I get them on a bike or quad and mix it myself, less to go wrong.
I have a 1992 version of this same 4 wheeler. It looks pretty darn good to be as old as it is. The electric start quit working, but that trusty pull start work's every time!!! It's a lil workhorse. I use it to do yard work, and it has never let me down.
Wow. Memories man. I had the 4x4 version of this machine in my youth, might have been a 92 or 93 though. It was a pretty fun machine, rolled it more times than I can count. Near the end I started having problems where only one of the front wheels would engage in 4wd mode, causing a few of the roll overs until I figured that out.
Broke my back in '91 which resulted me becoming a paraplegic and living bout 15 miles out of town I needed something to get around the gravel roads and wooded area. I bought my Polaris new in '93 at a local dealership and the main reason for a Polaris was the CVT, no hand clutch and foot shifter to deal with. Being 6'3 I sat pretty tall and was able get on it by slinging one leg over the seat and using the handlebar like a saddle horn and pull myself up. Great, simple ATV but traded it a few years later for a 500cc 4x4 but wish id kept the Trail Boss.
Your roll-over story...you were a lucky kid. Those things actually kill quite a few kids. At least down here in Australia. Farmers seem to think their kids are invincible... until they're not :-(
That is a 1994 Polaris 300. It doesn't have a model, the 2wd version was just called a 300. the 4x4 version of that ATV was green and called an Xplorer. The Trail Boss was a 250, and was a cool green and white color combo. My Grandma had a trail boss 250 and my uncle had the 300, both were pretty awesome ATV's.
My wife's Nissan Micra is the same as this quad. Aged, missing a panel or two, but starts and keeps plugging along. It also belonged to my grandfather and I will be taking parts off it when we finally scrap it (it's pushing 17 years and whilst mostly in good condition, it's getting more expensive to repair.) the biggest thing I want is his Korean war veterans sticker. Funny how these things work. Come for the humour and suddenly I've got dust in my eyes...
My cousin has the 350cc 4 wheel drive version of that quad. He doesn't ride it any more because it needs some work and it's VERY difficult to find a shop that's willing to work on these or source parts for them. I rode it a few times the better part of a decade ago and thought it rode really nice. Softer ride and better suspension travel than I was expecting from a 4 wheel drive quad...I'm still more partial to my Yamaha Warrior though...
So there you are...wondered where you went...and it was all because of TH-cam not sending me notifications! Missed all the fun, but have now caught up :)
I've got a 2x4 250cc quad of my own, and it's so much fun! I've never really had any desire to get something 4x4 or more powerful, since with just rear-wheel drive, I can drift around like nobody's business and, like you said, it's so light that if I flip it or get stuck, it doesn't take much effort to lift it (unless it's knee-deep in mud). And, it's got enough power to be fun without being (too) dangerous.
2 stroke quads/bikes will outlive us all! I wish I still had one. But keep an eye on the oil reservoir, vacuum pump and hoses. They’re notorious for failing, and all it takes is a bubble or a crack in the line to starve the engine of oil. This is why most 2 stroke enthusiasts abandon the oil pump systems, and premix to stay on safe side. And if you ever want to find out the side of the engine, it *should* be stamped somewhere on the block (probably under 20+ years worth of oil and dirt) Love your channel man! Never a dull moment.
the best part is the mk 1 of that car and the cheapest one you could buy. it had beach chairs for seats. I love how simple cars used to be. You see quite a lot of those here in the Netherlands.
@@gossicraft There's one in the town that I used to go to school in when I was 7-10 years old. I used to see it daily on my way to school. I'm now 27, and it's still trotting around that town daily, and parking in the same street-side spot it has been doing for nearly 20 years, as far as I'm aware. Probably longer.
@@gossicraft Yeah, the simplicity is just wonderful! Battery dead? Just start the engine manually with the crank! It was actually my first car (14 years ago) and I still regret giving it away!
I had one of those growing up, I think it was a bit newer though maybe a '97? My fondest memory of it was my friend driving it through the back glass of my truck because he was used to quads with such luxuries as "good brakes" and a "throttle that returns properly".
I love that you were saying you didn't need an atv with that line of cars in the background. Can't drive a Robin thru the trees :) Let's be clear, I would have a Robin too!
I used to have the same bike when I was a kid, the thing was wild. Had 27” mud bugs on the rears and let me tell you, it’d chew through anything in front of it like those tires chewed the bearings
Remember trying a Quad years ago that had the same engine as my Yamaha RD350 street screamer. This quad (Yamaha Banshee) almost killed me 2 minutes into the ride. Loved all 2 minutes of it and happily limped back onto the beast.
I am in the ATV industry and I believe that is a 1994 300 2x4 (Model W947530 sticker on frame somewhere) it has a 283cc engine that is rated at 24hp@5600 RPM... It is Air Cooled w/fan assist...If you look in front of the engine there is an electric fan to assist the cooling during low speed operations, if the battery gets too dead it will not work and you could overheat it, if you were working it at slow speeds... Also your brake lever on bars ALSO actuates your caliper on the rear disc on the transmission which has a Mechanical actuator as well as hydraulic piston...its a 2 in 1 system. (The 4x4 model weighs 55lbs more.)
I believe your atv is the trailboss, as I had a trailblazer which is mostly the same and has pretty much everything that yours does except the front and back racks. The 4x4 version was called the scrambler 400 which used a 2 stroke engine as well and there were even late model trailblazer/boss atvs with 4x4 and that bigger 400cc 2stroker. These little atvs are really damn good and super easy to ride especially for youth and kids, which is what made them so versatile and popular. Keep hold of it for as long as you live and you will see why they remain one of the best sport/utility atvs you can buy.
I had this exact same quad. Traded a set of rims for it. Was beat to hell and back. Had obviously been rolled more than once. Ran like new and absolutely everything worked. I regret selling it.
I had the 4x4 version as a kid I believe mine was a 93, we used it for plowing and yes with the 4wd on it turned like crap haha. It wasn't a trail boss, just looked like yours but all blue with a 4x4 sticker
I have this exact quad, but with more off-white plastic and the same 2 cycle/rear wheel drive powertrain. It says trail boss on the side, but the panels could be non original. especial because the people who owned it where the same people who killed flys with buckshot. In their rental house. I'm not kidding
A great mode of transprot if you are used to a motor bike. Pull in clutch lever, fly's over the handlebars, try to brake, grab in thin air. at least the rear brake is in the right position. Trying to use the horn with running engine will produce a sound :) But still fun I guess
That thing is hella mint. I still see a few of those rolling around the trails north of Las Vegas. Usually ridden by people who don’t speak English or wear helmets and may possibly be riding under the influence. Oh and of course the quad is thrashed to hell.
I had a Yamaha blaster 200cc 6 speed with a whole bunch of engine mods and a port done by me. Was a beast. Wish I hadn’t sold it. 2 stroke 4 wheelers are the best

"I love the 2 stroke motor. It's revvy, it's zippy, it's zingy...."
Quite unlike the bike from last week.
You could run faster then that bike !
Maybe because it's from a company that knows how to build engines
I don’t think anything good ever happens when a 12 year old says “ hey whats this button do”
I have to wonder what the heck that function is even for. I mean, being able to go stupid-fast in reverse is something that's really only useful in those Swedish tanks that have no turret, and they have another driver facing the other way.

Patience, the cold months are coming and he has to redo the lighting in the dungeon.
And a garage door opener

"Automagically" feels like a Technology Connections sort of word
Those "fuel lines" are probably breather hoses.
They are now with all the holes.. :)
Half of them are but the other half are the oil injection lines, without which the bike will go boom
@@zachmiller9175 Apparently they are still oil tight enough.
Kinda suprising that you still having that "friend" Saab Wagon on your house land.

Mr. Aging Wheels is much nicer than me. I would have had a junk dealer in the remove it months ago lol.
Honestly, he should sell the useful parts then get a scrap yard to take it. Kinda depressing how long that "friend" has had that saab there

I had a Yamaha blaster 200cc 6 speed with a whole bunch of engine mods and a port done by me. Was a beast. Wish I hadn’t sold it. 2 stroke 4 wheelers are the best
I’m with you on the 2 wheel drive is enough thought.
I’ve found 4 wheel drive just gets me stuck farther from help.
I'm stealing "fourquadwheelertv". 🤣
Just found out they made a Trabant limo😳
I am working on a red version of that with 4x4, except '98 I have a full service manual for these quads too!
