I’m a renovator of bikes etc in the uk..

It’s a days work but the machine is good on the land or farm …. And it’s a Honda… they run forever… good luck with the thing. Enjoy your channel too.

If you look at the top of the fuses you checked. There are two silver dots on the top to the right and left of the AMP number. You can test the fuse without taking it out by putting your testing wands on those dots. Keep up the great work. Great channel!

[@philbennett5260]

I would JB weld the crack, put on a hitch and use at the land to pull your mower. Alternatively, JB weld crack and sell to someone for $450 fully disclosing the problems and giving them link to this vid to show work done on it. Great job and thoroughly enjoyed vid.

Joe, I think you are right on about not fixing it up. Frame , engine and plastics would be a lot of money plus your time. Scrap it for any good parts you made need and call it a day. It was worth 300.00 for the video content at least.

[@Snyderbear1]

Thanks for the video.. I don’t know the history of that quad, but like items have been stolen in this neck of the woods through the years and the first thing they do is paint bomb everything and park it behind sheds and such out of site and worse; they don’t care for their theft item as it becomes a throwaway or they parts it out. They driving it down the salted roads through the winters without care is one of your main culprits to all that rust - Wisconsin loves it salt. I am glad you are taking the care needed to put this machine back into working order.. Hopefully the past legal owner had theft insurance and that you can apply for a license for the machine. It’d be a good end story for the Honda… Cheers from BRaF!

[@sparkie9947]

Amazing that you got that rough machine running and driving without spending a lot of money. I would weld the cases it's a more permanent fix or find cheap (unlikely) replacement cases.

Mt thoughts exactly, there is a product called steel stick, it comes in a tube and is a pudy that you blend together. You cut what you need, blend it, and it will bond to steel. Even a gas tank that leaks, it sets up like a rock,, you can drill and tap it. I have used it and it's great. Then keep I on the land, if someone steals it's not a big loss.

[@alabamared2568]

It does scream stolen...but as far I see it's too rough to spend a bunch of money on Joe I'm happy you got it running and moving. Id Kee it for around the property see if that crack can be welded. If that frame wasn't so rough then it could be saved to pass on. It's too far gone for that Joe!!!

[@chele-chele]

powersportsnation has a clean frame for $600, new case is only $500... worth saving at those prices.

[@SSMedic]

My first thought was to tear it down and save all the good parts for future repairs, it has a good motor, transmission and all the rotating parts work. Then you got it running and driving and because it drives and runs so well my position has changed a little bit. I wouldn't go full rebuild on it as it is a beat up quad but I think it would be a great quad to patch up and use as your new beater quad. Weld up the cases (good time to buy a welder with an aluminum spool gun), fix the rear brake, get the throttle cover replaced and the parking brake fixed. Don't worry about the plastics or the side cover. It will be a great running beater quad for years.

[@treecrusher]

Amazed you got this quad running so quickly! I would love to see you weld up the engine case crack, repair the frame and either replace the plastics or restore plastics to original red colour plus new decals. Then generally tidy everything else up. I would also be interested in learning if you can somehow trace the history of this bike - maybe through the Honda dealership network if vin is missing and deal with any legal / documentation issues.

I just finished repairing the frame on a Rancher 350 that looked just like that. I used 3/16 thick angle iron to build Rock sliders" on the whole bottom of the frame. Twice as thick as factory tubing and the rigidity of the 90% angle. You can also just pick up a complete rear swingarm for about 200 on ebay.

[@frofrobikelife2516]

For 300 bucks isn't bad at all can just sell parts out because that frame will snap

[@barrysoper9183]

I wouldn’t throw any more money into, especially given you have multiple other machines. JB Weld the crack and use it at the land to test the limits of JB Weld. The frame won’t last much longer anyway. Entertaining as heck, you are awesome

[@airdrop1670]

LOL there at the end I was waiting for the frame to desolve .

[@AvaPxiaO]

I fixed an Al oil pan in a cat once as an emergency in a remote area with JB, and when I returned to base a week later I found a replacement. Idecided to keep it till I saw it dripping. Years later that replacement gathered dust in a shelf. Not a drop came out, and it was more than a square inch of puncture. The whole cat landed on a sharp rock. I never trusted jb weld that much, but after this I was sold. You'd think an old pan would contract and expand 2-3 times a day reaching 250F at times. But it has to be done from the inside, the outside fixing is useless.

[@lbdrummer3]

Love this channel, thank you for giving us hours of entertainment! I'd part it out or keep the good parts for another project. Sometimes, a turd isn't worth polishing lol...

[@CLPRPSD]

My experience with cracks in casings (when I just want to do a quick, hack repair) it to grind the area out in a V, and roughen the metal around the area, clean it well/degrease while keeping the engine tipped to keep oil from running out. Apply a smooth bead of “THE RIGHT STUFF” gasket maker to the area and smooth out with a finger. Let sit for specified time to set. I had to use this on an old Honda Big Red 3 wheeler with great success (lasted 2 years until I sold it). Prior to that I used JB weld as well, but it continually failed due to its rigidity.

[@st7650]

Good morning Joe. Looks like it is stolen to me. However if I was to do anything with it I would pull the casing clean it up tig weld it if possible then just fix what you can. For what it’s worth at least it’s repaired right then part it out or sale it to try and make a quick buck as long as you can prove that it’s not stolen and it come back on you in some way

[@ricklong3218]

Appears to have been stolen at some point. Was probably under a tarp for a considerable time holding moisture in which caused all of the lower parts to be rusted through.

[@patrickrooney5130]

Weld the cases, or JB. If you keep it, fix it. If you fix it, keep it! That's my mantra.

[@achirdo]

Joe I know you love any way of saving a dollar when you go through these machines. For motor oil, the Rotella T4 15w40 diesel oil has the JASO MA2 rating meaning it is suitable for use on wet clutch systems. It is completely fine and safe to use in 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. And the stuff is dirt cheap.

[@slyfox7429]

Um would you be willing to take a tip from an older mechanic than you ? When checking for spark, buy replacement clips for a small battery charger that fits most spark plug bases and make a jumper with the two clips so you can clamp one to the frame /engine and the other to the plug. This way you can get a good ground and view for the camera to see the spark.

[@seaswirl79]

I've been thinking the same thing. It's just a jump wire with a big enough end on one side of it that it will clamp onto the spark plug. It would simplify the spark testing a lot for him. There are several things he could use. I was really close to boxing up something for his electrical diagnostics and sending it to him but I got busy with other stuff. As far as what to do with that thing, considering the severe rust, that crack and the overall looks of it, I don't feel there would be value in repairing it.

[@Maserdawg]

replace frame, but before check the VIN thing, Joe you are very good at this stuff, thanks joe

[@mick3439]

Yeah, I get some paint stripper strip all the fairings and the guards well the engine up clean up all the frame good to go top.

[@perlidberg7351]

Tigvetsa it as it is now, if you can't find the frame number it's not worth splitting the engine. The plastic needs a lot of work too. But really good job getting it running and finding all the problems.

[@johnferris4237]

Looks like that Honda was sitting in some mud and water for several years to get that type of frame rust. I would suspect that water got in the crank from the environment and cracked with many thaw / freeze cycles….hence no oil. It would be a great episode to see if you /someone could successfully weld the case and the frame to get it back to “beater” status. Would be a great machine for a farm/cabin/cottage.

[@Six4691]

To weld, especially aluminum, the surface has to be really clean. You’d have to disassemble the whole thing to do it correctly, so IMHO just JB Weld it and keep it as a workhorse until it dies. Great work!

[@roddunn2053]

Had a hole in the bottom of an 1986 xr250r. Jb weld lasted for 4 years of pretty hard riding and 1 hare scramble. Still fine when I sold it. Good luck!

[@evywharton2305]

Joe, I think you should try welding the case. And while you got it on its side cut out the rusted plates and put new ones in. You have 300 buck plus your time in it. Spend a few bucks on it, you will have a good four wheeler to work at your property. Maybe 500 bucks plus your time. It seems to have the same power as mine does.

[@transmitterguy478]

The frame is tooooo far gone, just part it out while the parts are wanted. Great work, Joe

[@TenRing69]

I wouldn't put all that money into it, Joe. I think you know that too. I was amazed that you were even able to ride it. As soon as you had spark, fuel & compression, I figured you'd have it running.

[@scottmoodysr9449]

Take a dremell and gouge out the cracks and make a V in the case and on temu they sell low temp solder Stix that will work with any metal. They are low priced and work great. Just clean it up good after gouging and with a torch lay a bead in the cracks and you'll be amazed!

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Pulling those motors is NOT a fun job. I'm sure you can find a new case section fairly easy or have that one tig welded somewhere. Just be careful pulling that wierd cross mounted hoss. Greatvid, needs lot of TLC, I know you'll get her back to good.

[@tj36b6]

[@Knallhatt370]

Use some paintstripper on the plastics, and JB-weld the case. Sell it off as a beater ATV. With that much rust on the frame, i wouldt care more about it. Thnx for another entertaining clip. This is one of my favourite channels. 👏👍

[@grantrobinson1846]

You can get and use aluminum welding rods. I did an Arctic cat 500cc case years ago. Worked better than the poor stick weld they previously tried to use. All done with a small map gas/oxy torch, but there are some tricks to it, mainly you have to get the case hot enough, so I had to actually use both a reg propane torch and the oxy/map gas to get enough heat into it, then it was just like soldering. I doubt JB weld and silicone will last long. Nothing to lose cuz otherwise with the cracked case, its a parts bike. Or find another bike with a blown engine and build one out of two.

[@scott729]

Damn shame someone abused that machine like they did. Honda's are awesome and reliable. Having said that, it is too far gone to throw much money at. It would pay you most to part it, and I would say stick it out at your land, but how many do you need out there, lol? Nice fix though Joe, great job.
