Yup, just a regular 74 Model 400 and a common 1980 Liquifire, LOL!

Nice haul there Spec!

Yes Todd they are from Maynard.
The 295/s was bought new by this guy, so I am the 2nd owner of this thing. Here are some better pics. The 295 currently has a 75 JDX8 cowl and full eng setup in it. The jdx eng is blown up but having the cdi setup is always good too bad the pipe is not usuable. :shock: The good thing is the correct eng did come along and should be good. the track is still the org track that was bonded but has been riveted now.

The 84 is complete will need some work as the eng will not turn over currently but all pieces are there and look ok. even the seat is pretty good shows around 37xx miles

And it seems things like to come in threes so i got lucky and found the 3rd sled of the week. found this sportfire this mrning and jumped on it a true barn find as it came right out of a barn. it has a burnt cyl but its an 84 and in decent shape even has complete electric start setup. I guess I need to get working on these things as you can theres snow on the ground! :wall: why can't i find these in summer? :letitsnow:

The 560-yes a pulling tractor in progress, its that kind of stuff that keep me busy in summer. Maybe thats why theres no off season for me? :think:
