[@IamKlaus007]

Had the previous, neglectful, owner taken the quad to a Suzuki service centre for quads it may have possibly cost him $1000 - $1500. However, he SOLD it for $350 and lost (after repairs) what is obviously a very good quad. What a find and a bargain.

[@johnsradios484]

That’s up to the new owner. Carb cleaning, new starter, new tires, new battery, new filter. Plus getting it to work! Of course it ain’t a $350 atv now.

[@AndrewCummings-do2bz]

Plus labour

[@dejester1]

Nice work. Upholstery tip: After the cover comes off. Use a clothing steamer and steam the foam. The steam lets the foam rise back to it's original shape. Then apply the new cover.

[@gearheadgregwi]

Truth. Works for car seats too.👍👍

[@devilsadvocate1441]

Ohhhhh Nice. I've been doing various upholstery lately. Thanks for the tip

[@sniper7.62x51]

Nice.

[@speedfreak8200]

Ha, I had 2 friends helping me put a new cover on my 400EX and it is a bit crooked 😅 good job he did for doing it solo. Thanks I will remember about the steamer next time

[@davidskabelund4298]

It also helps to put the new cover in the sun for awhile to warm up. Make the seat cover nice and supple and easier to install without wrinkles

[@Mullinz80]

You put the work in to it that the original owner wasn’t willing to do so imo you should keep it unless he wants to give you a nice profit.

[@dietznutz1]

Exactly

[@speedfreak8200]

Yep $2,200 ?

[@stephenb1367]

Obviously. That's the hole point of doing it.

[@Robert-xe3os]

My cousin had that same machine that thing was a blast lots of fun memories

[@canebuilder3520]

Remember, it could have been a turd with tons of problems, you took the gamble, filmed the work so if you want to keep it, no problem, it’s yours. If you planned to sell for a profit, offer it to the seller for a fair price, similar to the open market. His laziness is not your issue.

[@dannydepino3874]

That old Honda starts and runs like the day it left the dealership 35 plus yrs ago the Honda gods would be proud!! great machines...

[@kirkslayden834]

Yan imagine what you would pay today for it at least 10 grand

[@adamtyson1728]

I would be sick knowing that I gave that away for 350$ of course he wants to buy it back it's awesome

[@lycanhd]

What if he wanted it back for $350 lol

[@speedfreak8200]

Yeah but YOU wouldn't have been that dumb to sell a Honda quad for so cheap

[@kirkslayden834]

To buy a brand-new 4-wheel drive like that it's probably about 8 to $10,000 and he basically made it look like brand new again that's what I do with everything I rebuild

[@dennislamers986]

You gotta give Vinnie food and water before shipping. The Honda is a beast.

[@garylewellen4241]

I'm sure he's appreciative of all the positive comments. I think we can all agree that he's a business man and if he's going to sell it back to the previous owner. He won't do it for nothing. Another great revival. Gotta love Hondas. Especially pre 2000's

[@woofy548]

The old ATV's had such a cool look to them. The new ones all look the same. I love the old Hondas. Can't believe you found one that didn't have the fenders all busted off.

[@dustcommander100]

You did a great job, as usual! Unfortunately, people who don't do stuff like that seem to think everything is simple easy, and cheap. I think you probably do a good job of documenting the purchases and time spent - as you should. You can't do as much stuff if you give away your time and don't recover your expenses. I'm actually saying this for my own benefit - I need to practice what I preach!

[@kirkslayden834]

Oh yes I've done this stuff all the time it takes a lot of time and a lot of work so you got to be totally devoted and sometimes it could cost you a pretty penny to God bless

[@Ladosligese]

same here :D

[@VB-bk1lh]

Several of us all bought that same model back in 1988, I had mine for 30 years, one buddy blew his up after sinking it in a lake, another ran his into a tree at full speed when it was only a few months old, and another guy traded his in for something with better suspension travel. Mine was like new with only a few hundred miles on it, I put similar tires on mine but liked the original tires better. The original tires gave the bike a softer ride which helped since it had nearly no suspension travel. The Kenda tires were hard and seemed to bog down in sugar sand but were better in mud and wet dirt. They weren't wearing well though, showing lots of wear after only a few months of light use. Once the edges were off the tread they lost a ton of grip. A few people told me to age them first for a few years before using them because it hardens the rubber and makes them more durable. While that likely does work I needed tires right away because my original tires were cracked badly and leaking. I had tubed them in the 90's but the tubes were showing when I replaced them. Tubes also suck because it means you can no longer just carry a plug kit for a quick fix while out riding. If a plug can't fix it, then a tube isn't going help either. Mine looked like new having been used mostly as a yard machine at my old place and it was kept clean and stored indoors. but it took forever to sell when I was done with it. I listed it for $1500 and got nothing but $400 or lower offers or people with no cash on FB and CL. I finally traded it for a farm tractor about 9 years ago.

[@focusstrider2390]

Don't sell it. It is his loss. Keep it. If he really wants it... sell it for more profit. You put a lot of work on this machine. :)

[@kirkslayden834]

Damn right he spent a lot of time and some money to that s*** ain't cheap you'll be foolish to give it back to him or even sell it to him without a really decent profit because that brand-new is at least ten Grand

[@truthdefenders-]

Don't be greedy dude, people get sellers remorse, I get being compensated for the parts and labor but having the attitude you are displaying is shitty, doesn't make for a good neighbor.

[@jarodmorris4408]

@@truthdefenders- Who said anything about being a good neighbor? Is it a good neighbor to undervalue your stuff, not realize the thing is out of gas rather than it having a bad fuel filter, then when someone with more knowledge, skill, and smarts, buys it for what you sell it for and then fixes it up and you want it back? That's not a good "neighbor". It's not "seller's remorse" when the thing is fixed up. Seller's remorse is calling the same or next day and saying, "I don't really want to sell it, would you sell it back to me?"

[@stevez1094]

Would the seller have give him the $350 back if he couldn’t get it going? Probably not. It’s called making adult decisions and accepting the outcome of your decisions.

[@curtisrhodes160]

Nice job Joe.! Your a dam good channel and i been following you for years. Love everything you do and you have came a long ways.! Keep up the wonderful work

[@Strick58]

Had one brand new in 1986 never should have sold it...great memories..thanks for the video

[@jeromekunkel1752]

There is a oil filter under that plastic cover with the two screws, you didn’t show changing that but just letting you know in case you missed it. 👍🏻

[@gleantheword7388]

That quad was the ultimate workhorse my neighbour guided many American hunters and farmed with that quad for many years

[@josuerod9997]

Hi I love your videos I’m currently trying to fix a 1980 xl500 with no spark your videos have a ton of info thanks for these amazingly clear videos!

[@LexPips]

When I was a little boy anything made in Japan was frowned upon as “inferior & cheap” but nowadays those same machines are still running & looked upon as some of the best ever manufactured ie your Honda quad.

[@gearheadgregwi]

"Honda just makes mopeds" Honda response... "Hold my beer"

[@FirstFamilyCharger]

It’s STILL like that with cars too and it makes about as much sense as wearing clown shoes to a business meeting. American products are not at all what they used to be and we should stop pretending they are.

[@MrTruckerf]

When I was a kid in the early 1960s Japanese stuff was inferior. But they changed that 100% by the '70s or ''80s. It wasn't by accident, either. It was hard work and superior materials, just like how we used to do it in the US.

[@shadow7796]

Love that old model. Never in a million years would I be lucky enough to find one in that good of condition (where I live anyway) and for that price. Doesn't look like it's ever done any serious off-roading judging by the condition of the skid-plate and plastics. No wander they want to buy it back. I think I'd have to keep it or make a really good profit from it. Great project. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@kirkslayden834]

Yeah that machine brand new at least$10,000

[@TheMondeoSt220]

I recently stumbled across your videos and got hooked. We just had a hurricane come through FL. I wanted to say thank you! I rebuilt both carbs on my generators. I got them both running like new, because I watched your videos. Thank you again! You saved our butts

[@psilver063]

You should watch James Cordon for generator repair. He is the most detailed and cleanest generator mechanic I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Just watch his stuff if you don’t need to do repairs, it’s amazing to see how thorough he is.

[@kevsautoadventures6003]

I would definitely keep it. Especially with the mower attachment with all the land you have. Awesome work bro

[@MM_in_Havasu]

What a smokin' deal! You scored bigtime on that ATV, and it is a useful tool as well as fun to buzz around on. I can see why the PO wants to get it back.....!! Thanks Joe!

[@FernFarms]

I have a 1984 ATC 200es "Big Red" and a 1986 Fourtrax 250 but I wish I could find a beautiful 350 like that. You did a great job on this machine.

[@lucascady4992]

I really like those Tires, Price is very affordable too!! 👍 That Quad and that Mower deck is a match made in Heaven!!! Excellent job Joe, I love your passion for these machines and equipment! Keep it up Buddy!!

[@donaldcaissie]

Love this channel and your work!! Your skills have improved big time!

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

You should have gotten the air stapler that has the extended nose. It makes putting on seat covers SO EASY. Nice job on that 4 wheeler.

[@kirkslayden834]

Plus you can regulate the air to give it more pressure for slamming them Staples in there been there done hahaha God bless

[@jafo4u508]

What stapler is this, I need to do some upholstery work on my kitchen high seats. Their cracked and need some love. Point me in the right direction brothers.

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

@@jafo4u508 Harbor freight. Pretty much anything with an extended nose. I had never seen an air stapler like his with a non extended nose.

[@michaelyarmie4858]

It's best to throw the seat cover in the dryer for a few minutes to warn up the vinyl up. Makes it way better for stretching it over the seat..Isn't there an oil filter

[@timjordan3671]

Great job dude! Look forward to your videos. Always neat to see old stuff come back to life. You are right up there with Mustie1 now. Thanks for the fun! Would that mower have an offset hitch so you dont have to drive through the unmowed grass and allow you to mow closer to the trees without scratching everything?

[@davec.3198]

Indestructable quads from the '80s! I had a 2wd 1986 honda 200SX. It was my first quad as a kid and I loved it. The fenders were fragile, but all else was solid!

[@CraigArndt]

Been looking for one locally, they are a good workhorse, but people want so much for junk nowadays. Not sure if the owner really wants it back, but I'd be a definite no on that. These things are getting more rare each year.

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

Tons of them here in texas

[@thomps6s]

Awesome videos, I just picked one of these in MINT shape for only $100, seller didn't know what was wrong with it and wanted it gone. Would not start, gas cap was not tight. Got it home tightened the gas cap and it fired up, but it doesn't idle off choke, so it's time to clean the carb. I will be referencing your videos. Thanks @2vintage !

[@bubbatime]

What a steal. Awesome. Great machine. Very very durable.

[@allan9603]

Joe you're a master at your trade, and got that quad up and running. So tell numb nuts to kick out some large ones if he wants the quad back. Great video my man! Too funny @ Vinny.

[@ethanthomas6127]

Do more 4x4 and utility fourwheelers love these kinda vids

[@petepeabody8905]

would of been nice to see the rear brake shoe install and possibly service the shaft going through to brake shoes with new lube. Also the front brakes too. I noticed an adjustment hole plug missing on the front hub. Just to see the actual front bake adjustment when all 4 tires were up and off the ground as it is needed to adjust the brakes properly. Still it took much work and time to do what you already accomplished. Great job.....Pete

[@obviousgreyman]

Grew up riding one of these my great grandpa owned, man does this bring me back.

Great work as always it turned out to be a great one iv always liked these quads my pap use to have one for hunting an it was a beast like the new tires they look like they will eat up snow mud salute to you bro your a monster when it comes to working on stuff very knowledgeable an always learning something

[@strangeuniverse1199]

You are such a hard worker, all these projects don't bother you. I'd be way to lazy to fix all these vehicles, just to much trouble and a headache I don't really want.

its amazing at how much transformation tires make. i did it on my quad.. and it just adds so much character.

[@jcondon1]

I am sure you already noticed, but a bunch of debris blew out of the Briggs engine when you started it. Might have had a critter nest by the cooling fan on top of the head. You should pull the cover and check it out so as not to overheat the engine. 32:10

[@N4HHE]

I go through too many tires to pay someone else to do it. Bought a simple tire stand 20 years ago so I don’t have to bend over. Once the bead is broken with good lube and simple tire irons most mower and ATV times come on/off easily. Have to know to use the drop in the rim for bead 180° from where you are working. Then the hard part is airing the tire the first time.

[@patmiller7045]
