33 Year Old Vintage Honda ATV Quad Gets Restored Pt.1

[@weldHAGOJIBI]

You've planned a great job. That's great.👍

[@BrandonLund]

Thank you! It should look cool when it's done!

[@andrewwoodward6560]

Very cool, I refreshed a ‘82 ATC 70 in nice original condition for my son . Gave it to him for Christmas, he’s 6. Very, very enjoyable project ! And you are right, it’s all about the experience when you take them riding. Went out last weekend, had the best time ever ! I just found your channel, thanks !👍

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man! I think I might be just as excited if not more than hes is going to be. This has been a real enjoyable project. Your boy is lucky to have a great dad. Keep on making memories! Take care buddy!

[@mohanadalrachid3288]

youre such a kind grandfather , damn

[@BrandonLund]

Thank you! 👍🙏😁

[@sppl8366]

It's all good I enjoy your videos

[@BrandonLund]

Thank you!

[@DereksWorkshopAndProjects]

I have a 2 almost 3 year old and my wife says he’s too young for stuff like this! Clearly not Haha. Good deal. I look forward to future Videos.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man! She might be on to something....I've broken a LOT of bones through the years :)

[@nathankoroush7918]

Get them riding young, my boys started at 1.5 years on our 70, than went to a 50 dirt bike at 2. Check out their videos.

[@CampbellandSon]

Nicely done 🙌🏼

[@BrandonLund]

Thank you 🙌

[@CampbellandSon]

I just picked up a 1987 TRX 70 myself. Hadn’t been touched in 15 years. I’m watching your videos very closely. 🙌🏼

[@BrandonLund]

You are going to have a blast working on it. Parts can be a little hard to find but they are out there...that was part of the excitement for me too. Hunting down stuff. Congratulations on your project!

[@xjeepmanx]

My grand daughter just turned 3.. Lookin for a little honda or yamaha quad for her next birthday...

[@BrandonLund]

Thats awesome! Aren't grandkids the best!

[@yeahright302]

@@BrandonLund lol,just tell him,not for sale!!lol

[@yeahright302]

good luck

[@BrandonLund]

Lol I didn't think he was asking, but yah its definitely not for sale...well I suppose if I were offered enough I would lol. This is for my granson so it would have to be a lot because I would have to replace it with something just as nice. :)

[@karolis1397]

You can fill in the seat with some pool noodles or old airfilters that's the only things I can think of.

[@1rustytree]

Looks like a project!!

[@BrandonLund]

It sure is but it should look pretty cool looking when its done :)

[@sppl8366]

Lol I like you kept saying we

[@danjim7056]

I just got a atc70 and a trx70. The atc was much childhood atc and has been sitting about 13 years. Quick carb clean and it fired right up. The trx70 I legit just got 20 mins ago. Time to wrench!

[@BrandonLund]

That's awesome! Congratulations! It's been a while since I worked on it but I've got some new shop equipment that I will be featuring real soon. It will make working on this a little easier. More episodes will be out real soon!

[@lperkins81]

Great video, I’ll be checking them all out as I just pulled my 86 trx70 out of back of garage and starting to get her going after 30 years of sitting. Luckily mine was covered well and still looks perfect.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man and good luck with your project!

[@MarkDecamps]

They make a number of chemical coatings for the inside of gas tanks so they'll never rust again. That is a good option. Look on Amazon.

[@BrandonLund]

I'm torn on what to use but I like that idea!

[@R_Escobar_13]

I had an 86 just like that when I was a kid. My dad and I went and got it new from the store and I sold it at a garage sale in 1997 in NJ. I wish I still had it today.

[@BrandonLund]

@R Escobar they sure are nice machines and they are starting to become rare. Hondas are good at holding their value

[@R_Escobar_13]

@@BrandonLund I found a few nice ones for sale but I wish I had the serial # to my old one and find it.

[@BrandonLund]

I know exactly what you mean! Wouldn't that be incredible to find!

[@sppl8366]

Thanks for including everyone I do the same thing

[@BrandonLund]

LOL, When I do these builds I get a lot of feedback so it kinda feels like i'm getting help and advise from my friends....which in this case is you guys, the LUND DIY Gang!

[@Bey11ktb]

I would love to find one of these!

[@BrandonLund]

You can find them. Keep your eyes peeled for yard sales.

[@timothymonnier535]

Got one, just put new carb. On it, I couldn't believe how fast the little thing went

[@fernandogamez4961]

I am 12 years old and my dad just bought me one like this .

[@BrandonLund]

Congratulations bud! This series should come in handy if you plan on working on your machine.

[@Sunbag4401]

Pretty sure my little cousin has one like this. Pretty sure it's a 87 runs really good didn't know they were getting hard to find. Great video

[@BrandonLund]

@Ryan F thanks man! they are great little machines!

[@TrumpDesantis-zm3kg]

Let's Go Brandon

[@BrandonLund]

You know it! 💪

[@marcz9482]

I used to have one, my first motorcycle

[@BrandonLund]

They are very solid machines

[@thebrokenfather-aspacefors2642]

Just picked one up yesterday all original parked in barn for years, mine has the same exact tag assembled 9/85.. I paid $125! Completed this video tonight, unfortunately my gas tank had a hole in it so I ordered the plastic replacement, two front tires have small cracks so hoping the tubes I ordered work. Rear tires hold air just like yours. I plan to polish and paint while I wait on parts. Great video

[@BrandonLund]

You got a great deal!!!! These are getting hard to find!

[@tanksoldier9770]

It's worth the fix , don't forget to put some grease in those sealed wheel bearings also I would put some lead substitute and octane boost in the fuel just for fun , those tank repair kits work real good .old couches have that good dense foam for the seat

[@BrandonLund]

WOW! All excellent advise and I never even gave a couch cushion a thought! Great idea! Thank you! I might see if I can try to patch that little corner of the seat together...I really like the couch cushion idea!

[@tanksoldier9770]

Hay Brandon that foam is the real heavy cushions in the old couches ,I was the first one to use a 3 wheeler for irrigation in our valley years back ,I found out the hard way that the water is hard on the bearings , every irrigation takes me about 5 miles of travel I lost one on the front bearings and for a quick fix I used a chunk of thick bacon rind ( no kidding ) it held up for the 5 mile irrigation but not much more , I use the lead substitute in all of my small engines and old tractors well all of my old stuff . keep up the good work !!

[@HammerHays13]

Also, try heating the plastics and placing wire mesh from the back side. Holds plastics solid for good plastic welding clean up in front side

[@BrandonLund]

Interesting... I like that idea. Thank you!

[@memphiswright1340]

I have the same fore welder

[@BrandonLund]

They are bullet proof!

[@teamhazy8538]

Looks just like mine lol

[@BrandonLund]

How are your plastics?

[@teamhazy8538]

Brandon Lund I don’t know what that is I’m 11 we have to get it fixed it smokes a loot after you ride it for like 30 we have chafed every thing except the valve

[@BrandonLund]

@@teamhazy8538 I was asking how your plastic fenders look. Mine are rough. I appreciate you watching and good luck on your project.

[@PilotMcbride]

Are sure sure you want to put vinegar around your nuts? Great project for your Grandson mate. Sounds like your heater is working a treat, how are you "coping" with it? Cheers from down under 🙂 🇦🇺 🍺🍺

[@BrandonLund]

Im loving that heater! It's so nice to work and be comfortable. I'm really having a lot of fun with this build. I'm hoping he enjoys it as much as I do. Cheers brother!

[@PilotMcbride]

I’m sure he will. IF he can get the big kid that restored it to give him a go 😂😂😂

[@BrandonLund]

@@PilotMcbride hahaha :) you just gave me an idea for a video! A little "test drive" before he gets to ride it...I'm 6 feet tall. Can you imagine! Lol cheers brother.

[@PilotMcbride]

Certainly can picture it! I’m 6’6”

[@BrandonLund]

Those quads in good shape are valuable. Hang on to them because they will likely never decrease in value

[@fishingwithroush1097]

My brother has a Trx 125 and it looks exactly the same just twice the size

[@BrandonLund]

I would love to find a 125! They are getting harder and harder to find!

[@fishingwithroush1097]

Brandon Lund my brother may get a new guard and sell that one to me.

[@fishingwithroush1097]

Guad I hate autocorrect

[@BrandonLund]

Same here! Lol. Your lucky. I'd love to have a 125!

[@willries7920]

I have one

[@BrandonLund]

Sweet!

[@TheThecyclist]

try a company that recovers car seats for classic cars am sure they would help you out

[@BrandonLund]

If you havent seen the other videos in the series, I found one and i did it myself! It came out surprisingly well!

[@galin2924]

Ha i have a 35yo Russian ATV and it runs!!!!

[@BrandonLund]

Thats pretty cool! 😁

[@gehrignewcomer9381]

I like how he said it was a 85 even thought its a 86 lol

[@BrandonLund]

@Gehrig Newcomer I like how he doesn't pay attention when he watches videos and tries to act smart when he makes a comment because if he did he would have heard him say it was manufactured in September of 85 (because that is what the VIN plate shows) but nice try anyways lol

[@bluflame5381]

Mines a 1997 honda forman trx 400 4x4 its nicee was sitting up 23 years because the people who bought it rode it for a little while but soon after they stopped riding it so they let it set up out in there field I asked if I could have it and she gave it to me as a late birthday present I was like yuss

[@BrandonLund]

Nice score!!!

Where is the vin number on these 4 wheeelers

[@BrandonLund]

I think up bu the steering stem but I will verify and get back to you.

[@HammerHays13]

Check out Flex Foam-it on amazon. Saw a video saying that the type 3 was about the correct consistency for atv seats. It’s like mixing up a 2 part epoxy then sanding the excess smooth

[@BrandonLund]

I'll check that out! Thank you!

[@keithparady2594]

eBay is where I got parts for my 84 200 es

[@BrandonLund]

Good to know! Thanks buddy!

[@Itzivades]

Are you sure it is 500 for the plastic ??

[@BrandonLund]

Just shy of $500 with tax and shipping...the ones I have seen anyways

[@Itzivades]

Dang that’s too much for the plastics

[@BrandonLund]

I agree but when there is only one company making them, they can bend you over like that.

[@mwiipikodavie1133]

Look on amazon

[@BrandonLund]

Buy often :)

[@duckworthatvandmxadventure6601]

Awesome job on the whole restoration, I've watched it twice and I was wondering on total cost and also if you can list all links you used for parts or if you have a email we can chat on?

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man! Yah I haven't really added up the total cost. It would probably scare me. I would say I spent around 2k in parts. I know it sounds like a lot but these are getting more and more scarce. My intentions are to put together 1 video with all episodes and put a list with all the parts and prices @DUCKWORTH ATV AND MX ADVENTURES
