650 cc's, and probably about 10 peak horsepower! :lol: THAT'S PERFORMANCE!

Although, I bet you could pull a house with that thing...

That would be me. You see me around alot but I rarely win anything and I have been selling some stuff lately. With what big reds have been going for lately I figure this should work for me. This thing should ride like a caddy and it was made by the same people that build argo atv's and they dont cut corners so quality should be there. Only parts not over the counter will be tranny and final drive and it's still got original tire so I figure if I go easy on it it should last me a good while.

You see the size comparison to the big red on the pictures page... HUGE!

I know its a 200 big red but if you figure they all have the same size tires and go by that. Triple trees are massive.

i actually got an invite to tag along with someone else and would have loved it but the last thing I need is to be bitten by another bug. Always loved the ice with growing up right on lake Erie. Appreciate it.

It's actually 16hp (WOW) but it's tractor power. i have a carl heald "hauler" with the same motor,works great for intended use.

That machine is bad ass!!!! I would love to find one of those in a shed over here. Congrats. I think you got a good deal. Definitely wash it up and post some more pics. You gonna try to restore it? Any painting or anything, or you just plan on putting it straight to work?

I'll just go through it and make sure all fluids are up and good and I'll probably get some of the stuff that "was" chrome black powdercoated.

The manual I have is just the set-up manual, still has the wiring diagram, some torque specs and stuff.

Don’t mention the low HP numbers, instead say… well it’s 650cc’s!!!

The 656cc 16hp opposed twin briggs that is on there, should have never been a 6V system. The 16hp briggs, i believe, is either 40 or 42 CI. I have spent a lot of time on racing mower forums, and they are now coming out with parts to push these engines far beyond the 16hp sticker. At 656cc, you would think crazy power like a quad, but theyre not the same since theyre built much heavier and have a max (governed) RPM of 3600. Many guys turn these up to around 4000-4200, but thats about the limit of the stock cams.

so what would you think it would push for HP around 4000-4200?
