gentner8 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I picked up a damaged kawasaki prairie 360 4x4 for $160 tonight. I saw the add on craigslist, I guess right after it was posted, and was first to call. He was asking $250. From what I can see at this point, it smacked hard into the front left, but looks like it will need a push gard and some mounting tabs straightened. He also said the solenoind was clicking when he tried to start it, so he took the solenoid out in hopes of replacing it, but Kawasaki wants too much for it and he decided to sell it. It sounds like hopefully a dead battery. I know I have high hopes for a cheap fix, but who cares. I will get a better look at it in good daylight tomorrow. Even if its a basket case, I can still part it out. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamebo Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 That's the kind of deal that my wife and I have been talking about for a while now. Pick up a project quad for a good price, then fix it up little by little as money permits. When done we have an extra quad that a family member or friend can come along on a ride. At the moment money's kinda tight, but that's what we're looking at doing in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentner8 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 After further inspection.... I used a come along to pull the frame a bit. The one front down tube was tweaked just a bit. I got a used oil cooler from ebay, and ordered a new bumper and various bolts etc to finish it. I put a new battery in it and it fired up. The motor is making some noise, so Im not sure if the last guy ran it without oil, or because the cooler gushes oil, its not making it back to the motor. I shut it down and will wait until the parts arrive. If all works out, I will have less than $500 into it. Im just crossing my fingers on the motor.
