Look at the bright side of life! You only paid 150 bucks for machine,may cost 400-500 total including case repair, Will have a running atv for 650 bucks OR less! OPT

Yeah, that be true lol...We ended up settling for $200. I have two other trailblazers 250's, so parts alone would be great...but if I can get the kid and his mom out all at once, that'll call for a good day. its got douglas wheels I just refinished them with WENOL They are shiny....for now.
Those wheels are soft....I fixed a rim leak with a hammer! Maybe I should snap a pic.....show ya'll what I got. I think if I'm up to it, I'll also snap some install pics......I hope I don't have any screws or bolts left over lol...

If any bolts or screws are left over they are called "over the shoulder bolts",first thing you learn as a mechanic,AS long as machine runs ok! Just like a plumber,the first thing you learn is s********t can't go up hill and paydays on Friday! OPT
