1979 Trailfire 440 farm sled for sale $200 OBO

Post by Mcolli »

I have a 1979 JD Trailfire 440 sled for sale bought it last winter with the intentions of fixin it up, but came to find I don't have next winter to use it. It first came none running with no spark got it running last winter with a new CDI box and then came to find out the gas tank hose gromet was shot replaces it. Had it running good for a couple of trail good days then no spark and winter ended. I do believe the new CDI fried the old ignition coils so that's why no spark. Also the carb was cleaned and new choke cable added. This is a good old used farm sled that shows its use the suspension is half way gone, the seat needs new plywood, and the tunnel is rusted through under the seat but the side tunnel is still solid, but nothing some diamond plate couldn't fix, and it has half of the brake mounting bracket missing. That is it to the best of my knowledge like I said I can't use it next winter due to a move. This sled could be a restorer, or a parts sled depends on how you view it asking only to get what I got in the sled originally and parts so I can break even. The price is set at $220 OBO. Can send pics if interested and other info. Contact Matt through email at mattcolli@frontier.com or phone at 1(815)-784-4483. Location is North of Delkalb Illinois.
