    picked up a 1983 bigred today

    so i got this 1983 bigred in a trade for an old beatup jeep that barley ran and only sometimes would start. so back to the three wheeler so it has water in the cylnder not in the crank case. so tomarrow im going to pull the jug off and drain all fluids and check the berrings and see if i can get it running.then it that doesnt work ill split the cases and buy a new engine for like 50 bucks for a running one.

    dont split it.

    just see if it runs, have a good laugh and THEN decide how much work you want to put into it.
    or just ride it.

    I have a 200 with 3 bolt hubs.

    I think some 3 and 4 bolt hubs simply fit.
