Great that the owner maintained it well enough to know exactly what it was.

gadget -you remind me of sons mate who as an experiment at high school planed the head on a B&S powered lawnmower and runs it on avgas.
according to this bloke -cuts ya lawn bloody quick but a bit of a handful to hang on to! my son reckons"plain bloody mad".
wanted to use it on our lawn as a demo -told em i wasnt going to get anyone out of the bloody oak tree let alone a madman clutching a homicidal B&Smower!
however a head job on your bike -well................

As an aside. if anyone in the south island wants to sell an older 4wd quad, pm me and we can talk.

Well you can just throw on a jug and piston/rings from a 450 and rejet the carb and it will be a 450, everything else is the same. And yes I have been tinkering with it.

You are welcome to borrow #2, I don't really use that one either.

Whats it worth?

I only paid a couple of $k for it. Will likely use it more in the future with rabbit numbers being low and for wallaby hunts. Will knock up a trailer to put behind it shortly.

I have run a Yamaha 350 Bigh Bear 1997 for the last 2 years for hunting and surfcasting. No troubles at all. Starts every time and has hauled out x2 deer at a time. We hunt very steep ground and some of the moutains are steep. The yammy climbs these with ease, high/low ratio in 4x4 helps. I hardly have to touch the breaks as the engine compression is great.
This thing sits on the back of my ute for transport.
A few of the guys have used it to bring their deer out too!

Yeah I'm saving for one so trying to work out what they are worth. So.real dogs going for big money on tardme
