Liquidating my herd
Have moved away from this hobby and would like to sell my sleds.
My childhood sled my dad bought is an 80 trailfire. Still loose and excellent seat. Picked up a 75 600 that was running but low on compression 2yrs ago and a matching parts sled. New seat good tracks, and two boxes of disassembled engines for that one, a 75 400 that was running 4yrs ago in good shape, seat is cracked. A 73 400 and a 73 jdx8 both are loose, no seats and good tracks. A project 76/77 liquid fire 440 two sleds with enough to make one good one, good tracks on both hoods aren't cracked, no seats and no skis, and then a 75 jdx8. Track is good but needs to get reattached to back of sled, engine was good but needed seals. Plus a new NOS parts I picked up. Nice JD sled cover for the 75 model sleds, and I think I have the very fancy snowmobile outfits yet that match the trailfire too. I know I spent probably 2 to 3k on all of it back then but really don't know what it is worth or could expect to get. Oh one of the spare engines for that 75 600 is the one that they made for it only that year.
I'm not expecting to make my money back on this stuff but would love to see it go to someone that could make good use of them instead of collecting dust.
Will post pics of most of them later today when I'm on my computer.

Re: Liquidating my herd
Jason, Dan Warner here, i live in Faribault MN, interested in the trailfire, looking to get a sled going for the grandson'.thanks
Re: Liquidating my herd
I'm hoping to get to the other sleds this weekend and get some pics of them, They are on racks in the back of our shed, so not as easily accessible.
Re: Liquidating my herd
Here's a couple more pics of the trailfire along with a replacement hood that needs to get re-painted. The hood is from a 340, but will fit this 440.
