I just acquired a Big Red 250...I don't know the year yet....I know it runs and drives and the foot brake works...no smoke...seems to run pretty good...It's still on the truck..going to take it to the car wash in the morning and clean it up...then the FUN begins...goal is to get it nice and reliable...plan in using for pulling a little trailer on my hunting properties....
Pics to come

Looks like I'm going to need the bearings on the axle ...bearings in the steering neck...runs good...shifts good....Been some butchering done to the wiring from the start button to the starter....but does start usually on the first kick...the starter works jumping it...will get it straightened out...

Not sure which seal you need, but this may help. And welcome to the site!

The day begins with 3WW
Just to point out, there are aftermarket bearing kits that should have everything you need. The problem though is unlikely to be locally sold and feebay/paypal is needed to get em.
Front stem bearings from honda is nearly $80...
Looks like the front forks might be bent, not really a rare thing with 3 wheelers though.
That "aftermarket" shifter is killer though lol.
If you need parts and want to avoid paypal/ebay, I have quite a few and could take a postal money order though the mail (or bitcoin if you are into that). I'm still researching it out, but I'm working on sourcing a handle bar switch to match the 250es ones from other Honda machines. Just not sure if the choke will work on it, have to order one and hope.
I can't see the rear end in the photos, but I'd guess it is an 85... it is the most common year for the 250es =). Oh it also has an aftermarket plastic tank, good chance it is Clark brand. Good thing to note if you ever need parts for the tank (cap, seal, etc).
