    Parts trays.......what do you use?

    I use Plastic TV diner trays with 3 or 4 sections, ice cube trays & cub cake trays. Last two I find at garage sales once in a while. They work great if your tearing a whole bike apart. Just make small labels then so weeks to come everything goes back in the right place.

    When I bought my house there was a whole bunch of these colored fiberglass trays in many different sizes left behind. I can actually pick up this tray with the motor in it.They are great to put parts in to spray with degreaser and clean. For organization of other parts I just use plastic bins from Lowes

    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Cardboard boxes/plasic bags/zip lock bags... then print the schematic with all the parts/ bolt sizes and assembly info per pack...also keep a metric tape measure handy to qualify 12mm or 14mm ect. length bolts.

    i picked up a couple metal dog bowls real cheap at a yard sale, for magnetizing, i had a few old speakers, the magnets are work real good, just stick them on the bottom.
    Caution
    Do not "POP WHEELIES" and run for any distance with the ATC. The oil capacity is relatively small and the oil will drain out of the oil pump area thus causing loss of oil pressure, resulting in costly engine damage -CLYMER

    Isn't that what the floor is for? I just scatter all the nuts and bolts and small parts all over the floor. That way they are always right where I need them. Sometimes I put them on the workbench, but even then they usually get knocked on the floor, right where they belong.

    When I'm feeling really organized I use an extra small toolbox with sectioned containers built into the tray. Small parts and nuts/bolts go in the top tray, bigger stuff can go under it. I can close the top so if I ever do knock/kick the box, nothing will get mixed in with the parts I've previously scattered on the floor from my other projects.

    LOL, that's basically my system! When I tear something apart, the bits and pieces are all over the place. I put connecting assemblies next to each other on the floor/bench/truck hood and put all the bolts back in the holes they belong in. When I put everything back together, the leftover bits go in my bolt bucket for my next project!

    OH I am so guilty for this method. But if I organize I swear to god I cannot find a bleedin thing.
