    this poor 70 didnt have a chance

    i picked this jem up today caught it out of the corner of my eye so i stopped the guy said his buddy was working on it got it running went iinside to take a leak and came back out and it was on fire!! had a full tank of gas too melted the carb off too. they had the fre dept come put it out. the 4 wheeler front end was a bolt on someone made i think it was pretty well engenered but its off now and is going to be a 79 or 80 atc once again i tore it down today. the bad thing is he took the recoil off the good thing is it still has the tool kit and the foot guards are in good shape!!

    Hi ruga, just wondered if you've made any headway on getting this poor wee critter back to 3 wheeled and former glory status??
