I just went on a quad buying spree ended up getting six ATVs for $700 two are the Suzuki 300 king quads both are 4x4 and I'm going to cut one up and make a side x side (utv) out of it. Been looking for videos of people thinking of making trucks or go karts from old four wheelers, yours came up and I liked it.
I have Arctic Cat 300 basically the same thing. Same engine and drive train 20 years later still running strong Don't know how I came across this video of Mustie1 though I seen them all but here we are .Flash from the past.
These things are animal used to have an arctic cat 300, the drive train was made by suzuki. In first gear super low these are geared 126.5:1 O.O big bears are only 60:1. Lowest geared 4 wheeler ever produced.
I just picked up one of these!! Good Little Machines!! I am custom building rods and steal for a shifter (Can not stand the $200 gear shifter cable)!! But I would prob build new engine mounts before cutting the frame!! That way the engine will sit up more near the front then you would get enough clearance !! Thanks 4 Sharing !!
Why in the hell would you move the engine away from the way it was designed? The main reason of that design was for traction and stability. Remember that, its why these quads go more places than most in rear wheel when others are in 4wd
these smaller quads cheap cool for putting around job site trails. Gonna find one. Always wanted to adapt one for my buddy in a wheel chair to be able to get on easy and come trail riding. His arms strong and he can slide on seat easy. May be a good project for crippled Veteran s.
Marty. I have spark on my 09 750 axi king quad. It won't start. Blew a lil fire out the intake after putting a small amount of fuel in it. Any suggestions?
Will those back axle shafts take the extra weight with out bending or messing up the bearings in the rear diff ? Maybe a articulating tag axle added to the back with the dump box over that. just a thought. Can`t wait to see the build . You always have good videos.
How about putting some sort of bogie wheels and suspension on an extended frame to carry the weight and extra length of the box? that way you won't have to mess with lengthening any of the vitals.
Hey Mustie and fellow 250 quad owners... i have an 87 just like the one in the video... and ...just like the one in the video, it absolutely HATES to cold start. I have had the carb in a carb cleaning machine and it made a massive difference when it eventually does run... however I have to pump a lot of gas down the plug hole to get er going.. whats the problem guy's? Mustie, dis you solve issue?
If you haven’t solved your issue yet, check the valve clearance. Mine was like yours, had no clearance at the intake valve. Adjusted and starts great now.
Found mine for 200$ plus another 288$ for cdi box but i cannot find the issue of it starting slow like the engine turns slow could this be a bad starter idk where else to find help thanks in advance
Quadrunner 250 not king quad. I got one for free from my grandpa. 900 miles had been sitting for 10 or 15 years. Cleaned the carb and started right up.
@Mike Daniels i have a 250 king quad and mine has a huge gap in it too, have no idea, but i think it may just be more space for bigger engines, and they just used the same frame
This is not a King quad. I am the original owner of a1993 king quad 300(280cc), and I love it! I had a 2004 660 Grizzle, it was fast and fun, but no good for crawling through the woods and forget about being quite. C.V.T.s have no low in revers and cant crawl back out of what they can crawl in to. Not an issue for the King quad or the FWD 250. There is just no beating this five speed with high, low and supper low for slow quite work. A real utility quad and hunters dream. If you think Onimogs are cool this is the machine for you!
I have a 87 250 4x4 pull cord was fully extended when I got it so I took it off lubed it and got it working put it back on but it doesn't grab it retracts but just don't turn engine over. any advice?
I buy broken bikes fix and sell i don't keep them love the one i have a broken heart everytime has to sell i have 2 artic cat now 250cc and 400cc diff lock 4x4 i put a cdi brake filters oil and fix frame bend
Good way to fuck up a starter. Sounds like it’s getting no gas? Now to finish watching this, and see how close I was? Sounds like it’s just not getting gas
Mustie1 I just bought one last night, 700 bucks, needs a wheel bearing, and a battery, But the pull start works, I thought it was a pretty good deal, but I wish it would’ve been the deal you got for that, hundred bucks, you knocked it right out of the park bro
going to burn the starter out, you have no clue what you are doing,change the plug, check for spark in gas going through, dont just crank it straight for 3 minutes,
Mustie......what is that blue tractor? It's not a wheel horse gt-14 is it.....I would not cut up that Wheel Horse trailor, it has the tag and everything ....no...no...no...

Got a 1986 LT 230 ES,The reverse is on left side and high low I right looks like a pull doesnt pull?not sure how to operate it
My big bear has the super low gear as well, thing crawls through any type of mud, up any rock or hill. Thing is the best bike I've ever ridden

seems like an almost perfect quad for your project. The gear ratios should help with the utility part and the locking diff is a nice feature.
these smaller quads cheap cool for putting around job site trails. Gonna find one. Always wanted to adapt one for my buddy in a wheel chair to be able to get on easy and come trail riding. His arms strong and he can slide on seat easy. May be a good project for crippled Veteran s.
Nice start to a new project. Looking forward to it!
@HappyScrappy47 no its a ford 12hp briggs
What year is this bike and I don't suppose you have any parts left that you are willing to sell?

I have two of those. Stock tires are actually 22x8.00x10 on the front and 25x12x10 on the back.
The reason the engine is so far back is because it would give it better rear traction I have a old add that's how I know
GARDEN TRACTOR GEEK yea told the kid that planned on moving the engine that as well, traction and stability. These quads are amazing
That wheel horse trailer is worth $1500 today
How about putting some sort of bogie wheels and suspension on an extended frame to carry the weight and extra length of the box? that way you won't have to mess with lengthening any of the vitals.
@jeremylee99100 what fun is that, creating is the best part
Do you still have that ford garden tractor? I understand this is an old video
@wtbm123 thats been on my mind too, as all the controls are cable and there a pain to lenthen
Do these have the same plastics as 250 quadrunner
I had a 1998 suzuki king quad 300 4x4 couldnt kill it and trust me i tried
@MikeGuy993 yeah, now its a shed but need to get rid of it

Do I have to hold the clutch to change gears for it?

No just plastics
Owen Speulstra me too just got it

even the 300 king quad had a bit of a gap. I think it's just a side effect of having the engine, transmission, and rear differential as one unit.
That this would make a cool concrete cart.
Has a good battery.
Sweet.. She Runs
@84400 yeah it can crawl with alot of weight

I'd say you have too much fun, but I think I got it the wrong way, I'm not having enough. LOL
Great find for $100. and it runs also.
you can pull the pin out of the shifter to lock the front in any gear, but over 20 mph isnt a good idea.
cant wait till the end result
That little backhoe in the back yard is pretty cool. What's the story with that?
@donnybra1230 I agree
Sweet!!! It started, what fun! :-)
did you get it running
@vwfoolwhy the orange bug tipped me off after you left, the guys at the store know me on yt too, and thought one of them had ya call me on it,
I've been having the same problem with my 4 wheeler
Not a bad deal.
@redneckbryon right, well it kinda did
put a hotter plug in it and remove the air cleaner, plus drain the old gas
@Rosskenpo1 I use it,, needs nothing but dirt,
was that your old rv parked in the woods?
I buy broken bikes fix and sell i don't keep them love the one i have a broken heart everytime has to sell i have 2 artic cat now 250cc and 400cc diff lock 4x4 i put a cdi brake filters oil and fix frame bend
@Busia1949 more welding wire up in smoke
king quads have five lugs this is a quad runner it only has four
Joey Swepston very true mine was the same 5 broke each and every hole those 5 bolt rims do not like doing donuts
100! thats a deal man,i cant even get one like that here in NY for $300
I've got two forsale🤣
@@stevenjonesll7104 8 years and still looking.
im looking for the front battery cover for one of these.
Yeah I just got two of these quads for 350 bucks hope they aren't turds
rdc sp there not to bad i paid 100 bucks for mine and i was kinda impressed. it runs about 55 mph in 5th gear high range 2 wheel drive.
Same does anyone know where to get one?
do the valve spacing
@Peppercatkeith too late
Me to
Did you have a random fan recognize you in an auto parts store today?
lol, that didn't run, lol
Where's the one that did started?
If it is a GT-14 it is a different year then mine but I could use the motor and electronics....
@hp11208 craigslist put a wanted posting,

Mike Daniels it's in the back of the atv
