My True story for the week,,,,,

 A friend of mine, who use to be Jon's FIL had bought a brand new Polaris Magnum 330 4X4 in 2004 when he finally drew out a Bull Elk permit in the fall of 2004. It was the best ATV they had at the Polaris dealer with the full Camo paint job, both front and rear decks, an authenic Polaris Gun Scabbard and the optional oil cooler. It has long reach McPhearson Struts in front and rear.

He used it for two years and for some reason parked it behind the shed, covered it with a plastic tarp and left it parked for 14 years,,,??? He has two sons that both hunt but who knows,,?? I had asked him several times if for sale and he told me he was gonna leave it to the boys. Last time I asked him was bout 3 months ago and answer was still NO!

 Last Wednesday morning, he called me and asked if I was still interested and I told him YES but depended on his price and whether engine may be stuck after sitting for all this time. He told me he was gonna SELL IT TODAY,,and did I want it and named a price I just could not believe. I told him for that price, I would take a chance engine was not stuck and since it was Joyce's day at Dialysis,,,I would be there in two hours. He said he would wait 2 hours and no longer.

 After leaving her at the clinic, I hauled azz over there with the trailer still thinking he was just pulling my leg,,,!!! He comes out waving the title and i handed him the money and he tells me "I will even help you load it" I am in some shock but ,,he named the price,,he did,,!!

 I take it home and within two hours, I cleaned the carb, and the friggin ignition switch is froze up so I mess with it for another couple of hours and finally get it to turn,,,,After a prayer or two I hit the choke and it starts and it runs but a little ragged. I pulled the carb, cleaned and  Reset the carb and it starts just as fast as you let go of the key,,!!

 The tires are the original ones and altho not weather rotted,, do hold air but two of them have slow leaks. Bought a gallon of Slime and gonna slime all 4 tires to be sure. I ordered an new ignition switch and keys plus a new drive belt.

 I am just stoked with this opportunity,,,I been Thanking the Good Lord for what HE sent my way,,,,,,, DANG IT,,I'm gonna have to get my IPhone squared away so I can upload pics so I can post em.

Regards,

 CHris

  "" Now you have a 2 year old, 16 year old machine. ""

   Jeeeze, Bob,,if you was trying to make me feel bad bout lucking on to a 16 year old machine,,,,,it didn't work,,,,

 Yeah, Guys,,I had been bugging this guy for the longest as I figured it would be a good machine,,,BUT,,,what I had originally intended was to pull the running gear and put in my Kawasaki Mule project to have a 4X4 mule,,,but after checking this one out closer,,I think I'm gonna stick with this one as is and just sell the Mule.

 I'm also been trying to figure WHAT brought on the sudden change of heart,,,who knows what happens behind them closed doors over yonder,,,,,,

 I gots a trailer full of parts scattered all over but slowly cleaning and painting as I go to re-assemble but the dang ignition switch was susspossed to be here today and holding me up.

 OH,,,,and I pullerd a Shameless and went on the cheap with the speedometer, the small square section for the Engine Management screen was weathered plastic and you could barely see the lights,,you just couldn't tell which was which. Anyway I took it apart to replace the plexiglass,,fixin to check and see if the lights still work before I get a new screen made,,,,,,If not,,then I guess its a new one for #68. I just KNOW ole Shameless will be proud of me if it works out,,,,,,,

 

Now who ya gonna skin with the Mule?

Quit waist'n yur time wid da slime

go gets some inner tubes  instead

shameless dude wrote: yeah....i'm proud of ya...and maybe a bit yellous! maybe i should approch you like that with the Chevy/Allis? (poke, poke)

    UMMmmmmm,,,,UMMmmmmmm,,,somehow I kinda felt you was gonna bring that up,,,you knowin what a sweet spot I gots for that machine,,,,and,,,,and,,,now I am wantin to feel a little guilty cause I stol,,,, er,,,,, bought this machine,,,,,,well Chit that sad feelin just flew plumb away,,,there I'm feelin much better now,,,,,,

 WAIT A Minute,,,,,I thought you was gonna deliver the Chevy Allis 3-4 years ago when you also delivered ole Thad's Jeepster,,,,Huh,,,HUH,,,??

 Well,,I thought bout just that,,JC,, while these tires did not have but two years of actual use,,one of the fronts has bout 6 plugs and the other has 5 plugs and one of the rears has 5 plugs as well. They must of been doing lots of off road riding cross country in the low lands which is a BIG NO-NO on BLM lands.  Some of that country is almost solid cactus country,,,!!  I do not plan any of that Chit, so maybe pullin all them plugs and put some hvy Duty tubes and prolly be good to go then,,,??

Thanks to you too, Tom,,

 I KNOW it Bob,,,just pullin your leg,,,,,,

 

 SAY,,,!!!  I got another one for  the group,,,the both decks on the Polaris are black plastic or rather fiberglass and I guess since the ATV was in the sun for so long the decks are "shedding" the particles of FG and I am very allergic to the dang FG and the bottom of my arms have been itching like Crazy,,,,!!

Anybody know of something to paint on the decks to cover that chit,,??

 One of the guys on a Polaris Forum suggested some of that black stuff that that Phil guy on TV sells,,(can't think of the name)

One other thing,,,,The ATV came with an authenic Polaris gun scabbard and mount and I am not gonna use it and if anybody here is interested in it PM me see if we can find it a new home.

 Yeah,,Chask,,Flex seal,,you ever use any of the paint on stuff on plastics-fiberglass,,??
