I did a little minorly invasive surgery today on the 1987 Fourtrax 250. This was my first motorized ride that my dad bought when I was a youngin'. After 33 years it needs love now and then.

This quad has been amazing. In 34 years this is the entire list of what's been done to it:
- Replaced metal gas tank with a plastic one about 5 years into its life. The metal one rusted straight through.
- Rebuilt starter at some point after it stopped working. Kick started it for probably 5 years straight.
- Rebuilt carb last year.
- Oil changes
- Rear diff oil change.
