Gas tanks and engine

Post by hounds84lhs »

I have two fire series gas tanks and a CCW 400 that I believe came out of a 500. The engine was not in the sled when I bought it. The engine includes carb and clutch. It rolls nice, has good compression. I would like $50 for the engine and $15 for each tank. One tank came from LF, the other a TF. Engine would include shroud.

I can send more pictures if anyone is interested.

Just so you know, Deere did not use a 400cc piston ported motor in any of their sleds. The JDX-6 from 74-75 did have a case reed 400cc Kiortz KEC-400/21 that was the only time Deere used a 400cc CCW/Kioritz motor.

The Model 500 from 72-74 was powered by a piston ported 440.

I hope this helps,

Oh my bad this is a 440, but if it isn't from a Deere I will post on vs.com. Just thought I would give fellow Deere guys a first chance if it was from a Deere. Also if anyone needs a tank let me know, I would be willing to make a good deal.

Disregard my statement about it being a 440, just double checked it and it is a 400. :bonk:
