Howdy, folks.
I picked up a (very) used Yerf Dog GX150 a year or so ago. It had engine issues, and a bent-up front end, but was still a blast to zip my kids around in.
It had the turning radius of a broken dump truck, and increasingly frustrating engine issues. It became clear to me that I needed to invest some time and money to fix some things before it was reliable enough to use with any regularity.
My kids love the thing. But if I'm honest, I not sure who loves it more. Them, or me. The excited cheers they let out as we tear down the trail is priceless.
Anyways, the solution became obvious - Tear it down and rebuild it, upgrading nearly everything as I went! Not because I wanted to. Because the kids love it. Yeah, right. The kids.
Anyways, here is the before picture:
I'll post updates as I go. There are a bunch of these rebuilds out there, and the info people post is invaluable. I wanted to contribute.
Cheers!
