Hi, I'm new. I had been thinking of buying a 4 wheeler for a while- especially after riding a friends polaris 700. The cheapest ones I was finding for sale were around $2000 for an early 2000s 500cc 4x4 (all brands were bout same price)
Then I was given a wheeler for FREE
It's good enough for a starter, since I want a nicer pickup before shelling out a lot on an ATV.
It's a late 90s / early 00s honda recon TRX250 4x2.
The catch- the bearings went out in the differential and it is in pieces. The engine runs like a top
.
I found several bearing kits on ebay
HONDA 97-09 TRX250 Recon Rear Axle Bearing Kit TRX 250:eBay Motors (item 290358358382 end time Nov-09-09 08:39:59 PST)
I'm not sure if I have all the parts though. I found a diagram on the internet and printed it off. I'm confident I can put it together (have worked on cars / trucks / engines since I could hold a wrench, I am a senior in high school now)
It would be easier to put a different axle under it. Anybody have a trx250 for parts or know of somewhere I could get an axle? Or should I just spend $40 and throw this one back together and see how it works?
