plastikosmd 870 Posted March 11, 2018 Got a great running but trashed frame gator for a song so a bit of a flip project It had a beam punched through the dash and suspended on the dump bed to hold it together that is just a rubber mat above the melted frame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastikosmd 870 Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) So I ordered a frame on eBay with less rust but it still needed a cleaning, por15, and some floorboards that I made up from some 1/8 plate Edited March 11, 2018 by plastikosmd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhanDad 3,251 Posted March 12, 2018 Love that shop. But it needs more tractors. I bet it could hold a record amount. Oh, and great work on the gator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tadams 905 Posted March 12, 2018 I don't think the I beam is heavy enough to handle the Gator parts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastikosmd 870 Posted March 12, 2018 When I saw the original design they wanted to box in the beam. I said no and upsize it to handle another ton above their calculated load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plastikosmd 870 Posted March 15, 2018 Current trikes are a 86 250r, 84 big red, 84 70. I prefer over the quads but the quads have their pluses and better for visitors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah deshong 40 Posted March 15, 2018 Yep I prefer them to I used to have an R now I have a big red just sold two Yamaha 225’s on Craigslist. But my favorite was the 350x I shoulda kept that one but I don’t miss the R I’m to old for to take that kind of punishment (is that Courtney Love) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah deshong 40 Posted March 15, 2018 When I go hunting in Ohio all the quad owners think I’m nuts for riding a trike, not nuts maybe a lil stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastikosmd 870 Posted March 15, 2018 I got the smaller BR reverse and light enough that I can drag it out of anything without a winch. My go to woods machine. The R is fun, i am on the lookout for a nice 200x. A 350 would do but I don’t need that much power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah deshong 40 Posted March 15, 2018 The 200x was the first one I ever owned imo there to small for a grown up but to each his own I should have kept them all they r climbing in price especially the reds and x’s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
