i blew my rear end out a few weeks ago. well i was looking on ebay and ran across a big red 250 COMPLETE rear end. swing arm and everything. would actually be an upgrade to my rear end. starting bid was 9.99$................okay.



well 30 secs to go it was 82.00$. okay fine. i put in a bid in for 90.00$, 40$ shipping thats 140$ for a complete rear, heck of a deal. ebay tells me hello XXXXXXXX if this is not you sign out...im thinking im good to go. i put my bid in, it ask me to register or put in my password to log in..........F word. its not my account at the house and i dont know it off the top of my head.


bottom line i it sold for 82.00$


apparently i dont work ebay enough and it owned me.

[shadetree]

are you trying to put a big red rear end..in a '88 rear end ?..you do know..unless you do some big time fabing..it won't just drop in ???..the '88 300 has a different axle than a big red..not to metion..the axle tubbing is different...soooo...unless you plan on fabing awhile...it won't work...even the swing arm is totally different.

I've purchased a lot of stuff lately on ebay and so far It's been good. I got a factory 125 trx honda carb for $1.45 and I also purchased from the same seller a air intake hose for a trx 125
with all the hoses and bottom of the air box for $10.00 after shipping for the two transactions it came to a little over $16.00, the hose alone new sells for $25.00. I've already taken the carb apart and cleaned it up,just waiting to test it out,then I'm going to re-sale it on ebay.

 

[blowfishRus6]

dident we already talk about this........haha. i can use the axle, it will bolt strait up to the drive shaft and thos bolts, i have to cut the mounting bracked off my old rear end (not a big deal) mach and weld it into place and bolt the 250 rear end in.........pretty easy. the diffs are stronger on the 250 and the brake is to the side by the wheel and out of the way. less likely to get hung up on something like the 300 rear brake in the middle.



i know what im getting into




its actually a stronger upgrade that alot of people do.

 

[blowfishRus6]

and to clarify, i can use the rear end axle and housing, everything except the swing arm. diff, axle, carrier, brake, pretty much the whole rear axle.


its been done plenty of times. catch up on the times man!!!
