Rescuing An Old Gem From The Scrap Heap -- Honda Big Red Trx 300

[@tommcgrath475]

Always blown away by how many things you have the knowledge of and ability to fix from someone who has trouble screwing in a lightbulb!

[@henrydowney1174]

Your mechanical knowledge and talent for restoration knows no bounds Adrian - I can't wait to see the next instalment - the girls will have a virtually new quad for next to nothing

[@arlenegariepy8957]

Mechanics just amaze me at thier ability to figure out where everything goes. Great stuff Adrian I bet the girls will be very happy with it!! :)

The old honda big reds are so good will never let u down

[@kts1159]

We have four of them 300s, super little quads easy on fuel and never give any bother

[@jascollinscork]

Great video!! Nice to see a fixer upper...... especially for when you kids are involved!!! Hope to see more of quad being fixed up 👌🏻😍

[@mickdunne4306]

Good to see the dogs keeping an eye on you Adrian

[@Dermot501]

You're a man of many talents,the quad should be a good project to work on and will be handy to have when it's up and running again.👍

[@paulf2529]

Great video I've always avoided doing anything more than fluid changes on my quads, an eye opener to see how straightforward other jobs are.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Save a good few quid as well 👌

[@twintwin53]

Came across this channel a few weeks ago, awesome vids makes me homesick :D

[@justinmadden816]

All your tractors are red and your two hondas great work keep it up.

[@johnhassett9540]

Best quad video on youtube superbly presented and very well explained, well done Adrian

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers John, trying to explain it as best I can so that others can maybe save a few euro on there own

[@aidanobrien223]

Your a very neat and tidy man. I like that cant beat it 👍👍

[@donalmcguigan9249]

Have the exact quad at home and am going to tighten it up looking forward to see what’s happening next and what parts you are going to change and use 😁😁

[@davidwalker-fl7kq]

Great video very useful about your lovely quad 🥊👍

[@jasonziegler1400]

Great video! I had a new Honda 300 4X4 in 1993, they are a great quad. I did a lot of work and had a lot of good times with it. Due to some hard times I had to sell it in 1995, I would love to find another one to restore some day. Used quads are insanely expensive over here in the states lately, if you find one cheap it's usually trashed. Enjoy your project.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I do watch a lot of quad fixing video’s from the states, loads of them do say they get these quads for free or for next to nothing, never could understand that. Second hand quads are expensive here too, and it’s hard to find anything decent. Parts are crazy expensive, i used to get a lot of my parts on eBay but now the delivery cost have triple there too unfortunately

[@cdemo1186]

Good man Adrian,I had a sneaky suspicion that the girls were getting a new toy for all their hard work,it's well earned girls,fair play to ye for helping daddy on the farm. I always wanted a big red,fine machines. 💪

[@Corfine]

You are great for keeping machinery update safely first

[@Eirehunter22]

I’ve always thought you would be a great man to buy something second hand off as your care for any machine is something else and that’s coming from a man that really minds his stuff too😄👌🏻👍🏼

[@dronedairys7461]

Great video Adrian. Your knowledge and skills never cease to amaze me. Keep up the good work lad

[@jerrybowe5917]

Great video that’s a great fixer upper the ladies will love it I love your daughter’s reaction when told had to share I know she kidding it show she’s excited if kids help on farm things like this is well deserved and worth it great job

[@simonferris7850]

U have great ability to fix anything Adrian well done nice for the girls

[@nickdonaldson8993]

That quad is getting a new lease on life. Awesome project to share with your girls.

[@paulnewman2115]

Well done Adrian love these type of video 📹 👏

[@jasondavies4887]

Great video really enjoyed, I love fixing/restoring videos

[@glenkoopman7347]

Neat to see such an old quad and the plastic is still bright colour and not brittle, here in New Zealand we have very harsh sun and quad will be pink in 5 years

[@eddieglasgow6055]

Thanks for a very informative video !!!

[@kevinryan3475]

It will be like new when your finished with it and your girls will love it

[@tomwalsh7559]

I'm hoping your father is doing better 🙏. That's an exciting project for the girls it's great that you're showing them you appreciate what they do for you and your wife. Good man. 👍

[@alicegamble6145]

Great video. Very interesting to watch you fix up something that may have junked because of all its issues. Love seeing your girls & dogs .

[@aidanquinn5498]

Good video on the quads, had a racing banshee., a widow maker Still have a blaster the blaster is great for the mountains light if you get in trouble very easy to maintain. The girls will have a lot of fun.

[@kenjohnston1996]

Hi Adrian have Honda big red almost 20 years fantastic Quad never gave any problems great to see you working on yours 👍

[@jennijardine493]

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers John 👍

[@damienoconnell3387]

Great video again

[@mrcallaghanbarry]

Would love one of those quads myself to pass the time untill the summer!!! The 135 is a bit too big of a job yet, would need help to restore it in one winter! Thanks for another klinker of a video Adrian 👍

[@johnperry5102]

you did a great job on that guard looking great super video and very educational also

[@TheLivinitlarge]

An excellent quad i have one myself and its bulletproof. Well wear.👌

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Adrian a nice wee gift for the girls 👌

[@stablefairy9437]

is there no end to your talents? lol what a great job you are doing on that quad. I do admire farmers for the breadth and depth of knowledge they have of things mechanical.

[@louispower2853]

Great video Adrian happy Sunday

[@seamusmurphy2877]

Grate video as ever you make it look simple to fix Grate knowledge of most things lassies will be thrilled. Sharing might be problem 🤔👍

[@mikeman584]

Never underestimate a farmer. Very interesting and informative video and in years to come the girls will be relating how Dad bought the big red and did it up. Priceless memories.

[@andrewbyers1555]

I love these restorations

[@Open2OpenUT]

Blimey is there anything you can’t do? I love watching how you maintain vehicles. That Quad is almost as good as new, can’t wait to see it once you’re done.

[@richardvenables9333]

Great video 📹 👍

[@georgemorrison6689]

Well done Adrian, very interesting, those steering bearings always a fault because they are in all the shearing might be slightly better if you could grease them, good explanation on the work I've said it before I am sure you are going to be on a TV Farming program explaining a farming life you have the right charisma, any way another good video stay lucky

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers George 👍

[@oisinhayes8761]

Perfect timing, I just bought a similar quad myself

[@ciaranomalley9274]

Well wear ladies but drive it with great care there are a lot of accidents on quads each year🙏 Aidan has a good bit of work to do but no better man for the job 👍

[@irishniall83]

Be sure to upgrade the lights to LEDs too. Will look well smart when it all done.

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Great video lucky to find that now looking forward to to next jobs on it

[@ianhaggart1438]

Good job. If you haven't got one already get yourself a needle gun for rust removal they are brilliant. Just time yourself when using them. You don't want white finger . Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We think alike! I got one on Friday last 🤣

[@edwardoutthere3189]

This week we will have the next episode out, it’s a big one. Axle, hubs, bearings, brakes and plenty more

[@michaeldownes2483]

Hi Adrian and Nicole great Vidio great information on what to look out for when buying a quad my daughter Shelly is mad to get one but I think you need to be very careful when riding them so girls be careful and mind yourselves but enjoy the new toy😀😀👍👍👍

[@Eamo-21]

Great idea for a series. Won't go wrong with a honda bike

[@reubentaylor3323]

Great vid 👍

[@madeljacky]

You get her fixed and she will do your job as good as a brand spanking new one. Im not familiar with this exact engine but if it has a timing chain you may have to manually adjust the tension on it to stop the rattle from the top end, im still using a 1985 Honda 250 ES Big red trike on the farm and I've had to adjust the timing chain twice now to stop the rattle in the 27 years I have owned it

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Ya I have to have a look at the tensioner first of all and the valve clearance. But with that smoke she must have either bad rings or valve seals

[@madeljacky]

@@IFarmWeFarm correct, worn rings, worn valve guides or valve stem seals, lift the head and the cylinder off and it will soon become clear where the oil is burning from, most Honda quads I have fixed it is the oil control rings have lost their tension that is the main problem, the bore is like new but the rings are scrap, a quick hone of the cylinder with new rings, seals and gaskets has her running like new again.

[@rebelcounty2078]

Can’t go wrong with Honda. Stay Safe 👍

[@brendanbell8301]

Good to see the red theme running through the farm good to see a Cavan man spending money up here in Donegal too 😂😂

[@oconnellsfarm811]

Have 420 great quad all need now is fert spreader be sorted lad near me had few of them scraped if need anything

[@earlepriest2544]

Another great video and great to see you doing so much maintenance yourself. But I have to say I think dad will be using the quad more than the girls 😂
