repairing 125m for poor kid

[oscarmayer]

You guys are awesome for helping out with this.... It's tough enough to grow up with 2 parents, or 2 parents seperated etc etc.

Anyhow, I have an 85 and under 125M motor, I'll check out the head for ya - last I knew it was near complete and your welcome to any part of it that will help. It's not worth nearly as much to me as it would be worth to help out someone else.......

that's totally awesome! if youy have a good top end or minium good head, that's be perfect.

__---------------------------

the only thing I'm not doing is cracking the entire case open. does anyone see any reason that it should be opened? It doesn't leak from the center so i figured why touch it, and the trans shifts ok according to him.

Hi mate, sent you some $

This is one of the best threads I've seen, please keep up the good work and keep us informed of progress

[oscarmayer]

UlsterATCFan, ThankYou very much That's totally awesome! Very much appreciated!!!!


Thanks to everyone again. I'm just in awe as to how mcuh everyone is helping and giving! this is totally rad!!!!! WOW!!!!!!


I have not wanted to post how much $ has been recieved because If he read this thread (the kid) he will see. So please don't be disappointed. After it's all said and done, I will post the finaly numbers, but i can tell you this, you guys truely are awesome!!! it's beyond my words to describe the feeling when I see everyone giving to help this poor kid.

He's comming over saturday to help. I'm going to have him help dissable the front area and get the forks off as well as the rear hub area. he won't know why excpet i'm going to tell him they are leaking and seals need repalcing, but that's it. he won't know they asre going to get repainted.

my goal is to have this trike done and to in in 3-4 weeks. I think we can do it!!! i'm going to put the gear box stuff back together before the weekend so i can eusre it works correctly, before dissabmle again. i am a 1 at a time kinda guy. i've learned in the past that before you do 1 thing you finish the last task on a job like this so you knwo where you stand before you start the next one. So, I'm going to finish putting the gearbox back together (sub trans assembly)and ensure it's working correctly by test riding it. then i'll work on dissamble of the top end as mentioned and other parts.

I'll psot pics and such as i go.

will it be able to have new plastics? cuz that would be TITS if it was all runing sweet painted up and with fresh plastics!

[UlsterATCFan]

Also has he got a good helmet? And I feel a 3WheelerWorld sticker is appropriate

[drhatc200]

this so awesome i kinda had a guy do me same way on my 200x he built and helped me work on it cause he knows i dont have alot of money. its cool to see people helping people espically in this situation.if i had some extra cash id surley send that way.

[tri-Z ripper]

Awesome AWESOME A++ to you my friend paying it forward is awesome my little brother just got his first trike i bought for him he is ten and i bought him an 84 125M needs a little but runs strong fun little machine for its size! keep up the good work and good karma is coming your way!

[oscarmayer]

thanks guys!

I am not sure ont he plastics, I do agree it woudl be totally awesome if we could get new, or at least in awesome shape.

i'll have to research to see how mcuh they costs. we have money, yes, but new plastics are a lotta $$ but if we can get then that would totally rad, that wpoudl completely finish off the trike! while the parts are off to get painted, I'm going to clean and paint a lot of the frame (cleaning rust and properly getting it up to spec).
too bad none of you live in the dallas area, it'd be cool if someone wanted to come over and hang out and help, but i know it's far from most of you.
