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.

Yeah, we did discuss this before, Shadetree. I even posted pictures of one that had been converted. I found the pictures on the HL forum. A lot of those guys over there have done that conversion. The rear diff, axle, and axle tube will work. You keep the 300 swingarm. You have to make a bracket to weld to the right side axle tube where it bolts to the right side of the swingarm, because the 300 swingarm isn't as wide. Also, you have to fab a single, rear shock mount up in the center of the axle tube. The rear diff is the correct ratio.

if you can find an old trx300 hub ( one that is not any good for sure )..weld a nut that a c-clamp uses..take an old c-clamp..use the threaded part into the nut..put the hub over the hub...put some lug nuts on..tighten the c-clamp down into the center of the hub where it hits the axle center..this will pull the hub right off.

is there a way with out an extra hub??


i have thought about a large maybe pulley puller (3 jaw puller) but i needs something to thread into and well there is not much thread on the shaft after the hub................humm. i dont know i need to play with it.

not really..unless you count a hammer and alot of cuss words ??..lol..they will come off that way..just not so easy. most times i just soak the spindle or axle if it's a 4x4..then with a hammer and some really big screw drivers on each side of the hub..i pry the hub out alittle at a time..soak it some more..then knock it back in..this lets the wd-40 work it's way in..then pry out some more evenly ..spray..knock back in..rinse and repeat..sooner or later it will pop off...oh..and throw in a few hammer wacks now an then..lol.

lots and lots of cuss words.........man it made me so mad before.


im gonna try that route tho, see where it gets me. i was thinking about hooking a come a long to it but i would not be able to get an even pull around the cylinder. now that it has cooled down some and im not in the baking sun, maybe i can accomplish something now. MAYBE.

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.

I check ebay almost daily for deals, hehehe but I just hit that bidding at the right time. I don't win them all,but I don't let it get me down either, for everyone I miss,I have gained in the end better deals afterwards. Just keep an eye open on ebay and you'll find it again and maybe at even a better deal.lol

When I use ebay, I watch the auctions for a few days/weeks on the things I want and then after I figure out the "low end" price I decide on a maximum price including shipping that I'm willing to pay. Then, I just bid that maximum bid and walk away. If I win, I win. If I don't, I find another one and bid my maximum on that one. I eventually win for the price I want to pay.

That's harder to do on rare items, but I'm sure another one will come back up for auction eventually.

It's funny watching auctions with "newbie" bidders. A lot of times they bid more for stuff than what you can pay retail. Or, when I see people in bidding wars and the price goes above what someone else is selling with a "buy now" price for the same item. :)

Yea, that is funny for sure! I add the item to my watch list,then wait til the last minute to bid, I have a limit set and stick to it. the main ones I watch are the better seller feed back and no reserve. Just like you,if I win great! if not no big deal.

if i did not NEED the item it would not have been a big deal. untill i get a rear end its out of commission which is no good, or fun. i dont need or want another yard ornament.

that and im a broke joke right now, this was right up my alley.

it was all working out where i could make it happen, but then.............yea.

but hey, what can i do about it now.........but sit here non 4 wheeler less......doh. ha.
