Last 1982 Liquifire Built

Post by sledhead16 »

I saw the last 82 Liquifire come for sale and Duelling Deere Garage had to have it. She's got less than 900 original miles on her. For whatever reason the original HSR motor was pulled and dismantled but I have it all in a box. Someone had installed an 80/81 Liquifire motor in it that is stuck as well probably from not being used. It has the TR800. It's in good rider shape but needs and deserves a full resto. I bought it from a guy that bought it and flipped it to me. He worked at a deere dealership from 1972-2000 and worked on and owned several deeres. Great visit with him. This sled was originally sold in Baldwin WI. I just love the color scheme of the 82 Liquifire!

Allan, that is an awesome looking sled! Excellent for resto, but looks like it wouldn't be much to get her back on the snow. Awesome find!

Looks to be nice and straight ..... Great find. Handle bars are odd? 80-81?
