I was totally amazed. This bike set out in a field for at least 10 years too. Maybe not being in the shade kept it dryer than it might have been in a different place.
so far you have been lucky with not much damage after it sat for so long, I find this kind of thing very interesting,, I have never worked on one of these.
Hook up a yard trailer and that quad would be a handy utility rig. Looks like the brake job is turning out pretty good George. Looking forward to seeing you running around the place when you get it all back together.
Thank you Matt. This quad has a trailer hitch setup on it, so it will be receiving a ball and another piece to make it universal for the lawn trailer too.
A little TLC and you'll have it stopping on a dime. I'd take a peak at the wheel cylinders too George, get everything clean and it'll work like a champ.
I am cleaning and reworking the wheel cylinders. One one side it was completely frozen and even the left side only one piston is moving. They will be almost like new again when we get done. Stay tuned for the updates coming. Thanks Ken
Is that a dremal you are using george if so those are handy tools especially for using a wire wheel on them they are also good for using as a cutting wheel too my grandpas got a dremal and I used it the other day on a shovel to get this rust off the shovel and it works really good it’s pretty powerful too
I’ve changed rear brakes on Honda’s before and ever seen the back retaining nuts come off like that , pretty go way to start off a brake project. Going to make fun ride when you are done .
That's a really great example of drum brakes for those that only see discs anymore.Was either the tie-rod end,or ball joint loose?I saw weird movement but couldn't tell from where,when you were removing the front drum.Hope you have good luck with parts shipping.Seems to be an all over problem.
