Re: 82 Sportfire 440

Any offers?

JDRob, anything to trade?

I really don't want it to sit. I rode it once so far.

Re: 82 Sportfire 440

I thought I saw the kit before hand. I'm glad it's back. Your store has helped tremendously. I'm glad you take the time to do it, Matt. I got it out this morning. Filled the tank and about 12 pulls to get gas to the carb and it fired right up. I let it warm up while I turned it around and was able t...

Re: 82 Sportfire 440

I bet the shipping on that would be phenomenal. I believe it needs this: http://www.newbreedparts.com/newbreed/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=66&search=light And this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-DEERE-HEADLAMP-1981-1984-JOHN-DEERE-ALL-MODELS-SQUARE-AM55544-/141049744920 To ...

Re: 82 Sportfire 440

Thanks Matt. I was just thinking about it today. I hardly ever see these sleds on Craigslist, so I didn't know if I was way off base.

I believe you can change out the light and surround and it would be correct, wouldn't it?

82 Sportfire 440

Hey guys. I really hate to do this, but I have no time for my 82 John Deere Sportfire. I have taken the engine apart and gone through everything. I had the block and heads tanked and bead blasted. It has new rings and wrist pins. Everything had checked out fine. Someone had put a new piston in one s...

Re: Awesome Winter Pics

I don't know about an awesome winter pic, but I found the limits of my Sportfire in deep snow. Apparently 18" of snow and a hill was just a little too much. Nothing an hour and a hand winch couldn't fix this morning.

Re: critique my plugs please

Thank you. We have gotten about 8-16 inches the past week or so and another 10 forcast for the next couple of days. I'm using a GoPro 3 White edition mounted on the helmet. I absolutely love that camera. I am uploading some better videos from yesterday right now. I will post links. The sled seems to...

Re: critique my plugs please

Thanks Todd and Matt.

I think I'm going to live with it as much as this thing has fought me.

But just to prove I am having fun with it, here is a little video of yesterday.

I think there may be more in it.
