on a buggy buying tear
 

so that past week I've been searching and looking at other buggies. Monday I come home with a monster.

I have to say that this thing is a absolute pig! but I knew that when I was going to go buy it. The engine side frame work I am not a fan of at all. Kinda a poor design in my eyes. I picked it up for $125 bucks, and the blade single seater got a ton of good parts from it.

So today looking around again. Just for giggles and found a old hammerhead. Went and picked that up for $100 bucks. Long and behold I didn't know it has the aluminum mag wheels!!! So the blade will now be getting those.

Great price on both of your finds.

yeah I sure thought so

What's that smell?

Is that a 2 stroke in that beast?


Yeah buddy.... i see a conversion in your future. Sled engine

lol, I still haven't even finished my single hammerhead. I already stripped the parts off the yellow one that I wanted. So the blade has a single sprocket now, 4 new wheel hubs all the way around with new studs and hardware, and I swapped out the axle bearing carriers. That alone paid for itself and then some. The blade feels smoother pushing around because one of the axle bearings was frozen. Now that I got this hammerhead with aluminum wheels that will be getting swapped over to the blade. Plan now is to sell the yellow one, and keep the 2 seater hammerhead just for steel and parts. For $100 bucks I would have spent 4 times that just for the steel. :biggrin:

I forgot the hammerhead came with a brand new tire mounted on a rim. Also came with a old battery then I can turn into autozone for store credit. Just wet sanded and clean the polished wheels they are going to look good on the blade. I put air in all the tires last night, and they all hold air so good to go to swap all them over.

yep, you are now definitely "THAT GUY" of the neighborhood.

Lmfaoooo

well did really well on the roketa. Sold today made a good profit, and got a ton of parts from it that I needed. Already buying another buggy tomorrow morning its a surprise.
