    Three circles (Mickey) are upside down. Its a club. Spade is missing from the end of the circle. Diamond is on top of the square. Duh.
    There is another SQUARE in the truck bed. You might not be smokin' it, but it's gettin' in there somehow.

    As long as the motor is good, $500 is fair. It will take some work, but it sounds like a fun project.

    I have a 1986 Yamaha 4 wheeler that I bought for $250. My son and I worked on it for months just to get it safe enough to drive. Needed: brakes, brake levers, brake cables, paint job (gave it a cool camo pattern using oak leaves in my backyard), straightened the racks, new shocks, new tires.

    It was a lot of work, but a fun project with my son. I taught him how to use tools and do mech work. But the best part was the time spent with him. We had some good talks.

    That is what counts.

    Canundrum (sp) solved, he sold it to another coworker.

    Turns out it wasn't actually sold but instead interested buyer took it to shop for a looksie. He told me this morning it has piston slap so he's no longer interested in it. I stopped by the shop, kicked the tires and then pulled the tranny dipstick. Not only did the fluid not touch the 1" long stick, I couldn't see ANY fluid in the case.

    I'M OUT!

    Update: ATV is still sitting at the shop outside.

    I asked the owner during yesterday's 0600 staff meeting (BS session ;)) what the status was and it's still for sale @ $250. After reiterating some of the above details, I said for $100 I'd take care of the problem for him. He mentioned having one potential buyer @ $250 but didn't seem optimistic so I won't be surprised if I end up with it.
