@thomasitta of course. I sell all the brands. I don't part them out though.

@CKPowersports ive always wanted to open a repair shop, I love working on atvs and snowmobiles

@jamesbondero6170 that's the first solution I tried as well as clr cleaner then tried vinegar too.

@@CKPowersports ; Some of the oldest structures in the world are built with lime stone and they're still standing so that tells ya something about the durability of the material.

@fritztk9857 that was my same thought process. They aren't worth restoring. They just needed to be functional and look somewhat decent.

@@CKPowersports Exactly what I was thinking

@1coppertop I tried that too. It worked a little better, but not much.

I wish it was just dirt. It was more of a white stain on everything. I spent 2 full days power washing those things.

@user-ll4lf5go1m it wasn't dirt, just white stains on everything. I spent 2 full days power washing those 7 machines. That was the only option left to make them look half decent again

@Alwhite1929 sometimes that's what the job calls for.

@@robertlaird6746 I can always have one shipped. I know a guy now...

@@CKPowersports What would you sell me one for as is but running and driving without any issues and what state are you in? I'm in WA.

@@robertlaird6746I'm in nebraska. I'm honestly basically done going through them. I was asking 6000 on them locally.

@@CKPowersports Thank you but I think I'll pass due to the distance. I think I'll end up getting an old WWII Jeep instead for around the same price.

Tire kickers even on CZcams 🫠

Sorry about that. I'm no expert at making videos, but there is a part 2 up now that just shows repairs and stuff

They are for sale. They are located in lincoln nebraska. Just search ck powersports and give me a call.

I don't see them on your website....

@Alwhite1929 you are right. I haven't updated that yet. I did post a couple on my Facebook page though.

Probably 5500 as is

@@CKPowersports is that the 4 seater or 2 seater?

@rapierce99 the 2 seater one. I was wanting 7000 on the 4 seater. It's way cleaner than the others

@@CKPowersports what year are they?

@@rapierce99 2016

That's definitely for sure

They will all be for sale. Give me a call this week. 4026403892

7000

I tried some clr cleaner. It didn't do much. I also rented a heated power washer too. I think I need a pool of vinegar to let it soak in for awhile

@@CKPowersports spray it with vinegar in a 2 gallon sprayer. Add a little toilet bowl cleaner to help if you want. The vinegar and pressure washer will take it off.

@jeffwolfe9271 I'll definitely try that. I've got most of the chunks and scale off of it but lots of white scaling left on them.

@@CKPowersports let me know how it works or make a video about it

@@jeffwolfe9271 I did try it. It helped a little but didn't do much. I resorted to spray painting all the black pieces that had the white scaling on them.

So far they have been a giant pain to clean up. The limestone stuff is like cement stuck to everything.

@@CKPowersports That coating of limestone mud is one of the things I liked seeing on these things. No need to paint, strip or customize. They have their own cool look. They look properly USED! I guess I just like beat up old vehicles.

They will be for sale

They have been the biggest pain to get cleaned up. The limestone stuff is like cement stuck everywhere and it's white so it's very obvious.

@@CKPowersports oh no doubt. Those must be same as the Polaris brutas machines back in the day?

@@Dontlieme yes they were. They don't have the pto shaft that I think most brutus models had

It's a private campground area near plattsmouth nebraska next to the platte river

Not around here. I'm in farming country where they get used daily. The most I've had was 30k on one before. I see them all the time with 10 to 15k miles

@@CKPowersports wow,thats unreal

@@yeahright302 the utvs get even more miles on them. I see rangers that get about 5000 miles a year on them all the time.

Me either. I don't know why somebody stole them off of it. I was shocked it started so easy but that's usually the way it goes on auction buys. There's usually a surprise.

@@CKPowersports I guess they came in ‘clutch’ for somebody haha

It is a skidoo 670 engine from a 96 mxz

Yeah. It seems to run much better when the motor is still cold. In the sand it really bogged off the line. I need to take time and mess with the carbs. It definitely felt really rich in the sand.

Yeah the efi would be ideal. If I'd start from scratch I think I'd use an arctic cat f7 engine. I think the configuration of those engines would work really well.

Thanks a lot!

They are so much fun. Definitely follow along. I'll have more videos on them. I really need to do some carb running on the 670 one. The stock one has been completely bulletproof so far.

That's a good deal. Did you keep it or sell it? I definitely have some more videos like it in the works.

@@CKPowersports man I thought about flipping it, but it was extremely solid. It was always serviced at a Honda dealership. And the lady I bought it off of I’ve known for 20 years. I did also buy a 2006 sportsman 500 EFI with 2900 miles on it for $1000 and the only thing it needed was a starter Bendix. I’ve put almost 800 miles on that in the past year and it’s been awesome. Keep up the good work! If I lived a little closer to you. I’d probably buy something off of you.

Thank you. Yup, I'm in lincoln.

I appreciate the comment. Definitely start small. I started buying 3 wheelers for a couple hundred bucks. Usually you can find good deals on non running ones. Most of the time, they just need a carb clean to get going again. Take your profit and put it right into the next deal.

@@CKPowersports Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate you taking the time to enhance my perspective on how to go about this journey.

I'm pretty attached to this one. I had 2 of them for sale about 2 years ago though. They are definitely worth having and ride and handle just as good as any new model machine.

I contemplated the powerboost also but also feared the reliability and complexity of it. I definitely agree with the steering. I have an alignment appointment this week to look at that. The alignment is definitely off right now on it and it seems to have a good amount of bump steer. I'm not sure if that's a result of the bigger wider tires or not though. Supposedly this one had also had a level kit added to it by the previous owner. My only real complaint so far is the steering, but I think that should be fixable.

I think it's all about that marketing. I think most people can't relate to cubic inches anymore.

It definitely felt more like a carb issue. I have a lot of snowmobiles too and it just felt like it was fouling a plug most of the time, especially after it got fully warm. It was having issues way before the power band. This has jetski carbs on it also, not the stock sled ones. Follow along though. I'll get it dialed in soon and it will be a true ripper.

@CKPowersports definitely will keep following... I love these kinds of builds... keep at it ... when it's done that thing is going to be a blast...

@RAM-19 it's a super fun machine. On pavement it will wheelie with ease. This was my first real test with it, and unfortunately, it disappointed me.

The pilots are pretty hard to find. I do have a cool 250 odyssey that I haven't touched yet if you need a project.

@@CKPowersports if its straight frame I would love to get one going in in WA so distance might be a B

@oler777 it actually has an aftermarket cage. It was an old flat track racer. If you check out my other videos I have one showing a package of odysseys I bought. It's the hooters one.

@@CKPowersports i found the video that's actually a pretty cool ride. What would you want for it?

@oler777 probably 1000. The motor is currently stuck but I have another motor that's free but is low compression. My intention was to get it going again

Hopefully not the last one too

@@CKPowersports hopefully btw i got a 92 gs500e swapped kawasaki mojave 250 you guys should check it out when i get it running again….

Yeah, it was definitely weird. The guy I got it from was another collector that actually had another one and he didn't even realize it either. The handling is night and day better though.

It was night and day different

I know. It was very unfortunate. Stay tuned I'll have a video fixing it.

There's no magic number. You can buy plenty of nonrunning machines for 500 to 1000. That's the easiest way to start.
