Welcome to the nut house, we saved you a seat....

[SLESTAK75]

In order to learn you need only ask the right question. Welcome.

[rebellinredneck]

What part of sc you live in zman?

[bear]

[zman007007]

[rebellinredneck]

[zman007007]

I just bought this buggy about 3 weeks ago, and just last week found out, thanks to this site I think it is a Tomberlin crossfire 150. It has no reverse, but does have the front disk brakes on the wheels and 1 disc brake on the rear axle. It didn"t run when I got it, but after a new carb. and battery it cranked right up and runs good. I would like to be able to install the reversing kit on it. Anyone having any info on how this is done I would greatly appreciate it. Also the cheapest way to go. Any pics you would need let me know. thanks zman

[Masteryota]

Good looking rig you got there. Now I can see the bigger differences between the crossfire and the yerfs, the cossfire for sure looks better built.

[zman007007]

thanks I appreciate the positive feedback, I don"t know a lot about these, but I do know it has alot of power for its size. It has the Howhit engine. zman

[x-bird]

welcome to the zoo! good score, the crossfire's are considered to have one of the best front ends of the 150s. Pretty scarce find these days.

[zman007007]

thanks x-bird for the kind words, I paid $400 for this bad boy, added the new carb. and battery and still have less than $5oo in it. zman

[zman007007]

This little sucker surprised me with the power it has. I weigh about 210 lbs. and my neighbor weighs about 275 lbs. and it totally carried us like it was nothing. zman

[zman007007]

I just got the new air filter [new style] and new fan cover yesterday, and will be adding it when the weather permits. I can"t afford the fancy type rpms gauges, hour meter, but I bought one of the wrap around the spark plug types and will be installing it soon. I also bought a battery monitor meter which shows the battery voltage. I also bought a air horn set to go on this bad boy and just hooked them up temp. to check it out and I think they are loud, but I can"t tell anymore. LOL zman

[SLESTAK75]

You definitely have me beat. I could devote my life to looking for deals like that and they would elude my till the day I died where they would stand over me laughing as I gasped my last breath. Sad huh??

[bear]

Zman if ur looking to add the external reverse kit Tom @ syc can definitly help u with that! great deal on the buggy, crossfires r good buggy's!

[zman007007]

thanks bear for the info and compliments, I appreciate it zman

[Masteryota]

Then I won't tell you how much I got my Yerf for, it might do you in, lol.

[SLESTAK75]

[zman007007]

my wife hasn"t ridden on mine yet, but neither have I, been too dang cold, and wet. Might change this weekend tho,they say it is supposed to be close to 70 degrees here Sat. My wife asked me the other day if I could put a trailer hitch on it. I think she wants it for yard work. hahahaha yea right. zman

[zman007007]

I meant she hasnt ridden much but I have ridden some. zman

[zman007007]

where is everyone?

[bear]

[SLESTAK75]

so thats you I always see in the passenger seat, huh? lol

[SLESTAK75]

Wink, wink, nod.

[zman007007]

My wife asked if I could put a trailer hitch on the back of my buggy. when I asked why, she said to pull her little yard, garden trailer around. that should speed up her yard work to at least 25 to 30 mph. LOL

[bear]

Yea and she'll probably have you follow her around with a shovel to fix the peel out ruts she leaves!!! lol

[Masteryota]

I have seen this ploy time and time again, she will drive the buggy, and you get to dig up the weeds/pooper scoop/dispense mulch and such. Clever though, lol.

[bear]

Bingoooo!!!!!!!

[zman007007]

shovel no way, but I could chase her around with my Kubota with the front end loader and box scrape. lol
