1980 Trailfire

Post by DeereKid9 »

1980 Trailfire - unknown miles

The good: Fresh engine with less than 20 miles on it, but ridden to ensure everything was set and good. Includes Seals, gaskets, and fan belt.
Body and hood very good
Seat- nice recover but the wood is questionable
Elec start that works great
Windshield is great
Track is good with JD traction stars and tunnel protectors
All electrical is good
Carb soaked and cleaned with proper settings

Average for age (or the Bad):
Paint on hood is average, I had placed a decal on the hood and it kinda screwed it up. It might be able to be buffed out.
Skis are pitted along the edge but have 4" carbides
Throttle and brake blocks are not perfect. But very functional.

I am moving on to my next project and it will be a rider as well, so this one needs to move on.
I am asking $600 but will consider other JD sleds on trade ( like a nice 80 Spitty Eric) or shoot me an offer.
Pictures will show most of what I listed but feel free to ask about anything you have questions on.

Bob
