Barn find 1973 JDX8 with CDI ignition and other new parts

[kentuckydiesel]

1973 JDX8 for sale. 1983 original miles. Options include electric start, Comet clutch upgrade, and seat backrest. Chrome is bright, plastics, seat, track, gas tank, exhaust, etc are all in good condition.

I have owned this sled for about 3 years and I was told it had been sitting in a barn for a number of years before that. Because it was in such nice shape for it's age and the compression was right on, when I got it home and found out the points/stator needed to be changed due to some water getting in the recoil housing after the recoil spring broke, rather than replace points, I went ahead and began collecting all the parts for a CDI conversion. In addition to having the parts needed for the conversion, I also have new crank seals, a carb rebuild kit, new throttle/choke/brake cables, and a new recoil spring/associated parts. There might be more that I'm forgetting

I have removed the old points flywheel and magneto and it is ready to change the crank seals and bolt on the new parts. I kept telling myself that as soon as we were supposed to get some decent snowfall, I would take a day and put everything back together. Unfortunately we just went through yet another winter with very low snowfall and I have just lost interest.

To my knowledge, the only other things this sled might need would be a battery, a brake band, a 10,000rpm tach to match the CDI ignition, and a windshield.

Between the golf cart I traded for this sled and the parts I have bought for it, I would say I have at least $800 in it. I am open to cash offers, or may even trade for a dirt bike/enduro bike. Unfortunately, because Kentucky doesn't title snowmobiles, I can only provide a bill of sale.

Thanks,

BTW, I know I may not get all my money back out of this deal. Feel free to offer whatever you think it's worth.

Thanks,

I truly wish I was closer or had an excuse to travel down that way I would take that is a heart beat. Best of luck , some one needs to pick this up.

If anyone wants it shipped, I get pretty good prices through my account at work.
