Such-A-Deal
Well I did it again. I seem to have a way to either trade into or buy things at a steel price. Yesterday at an estate sale I bought a 1980 Polaris 440 motor completely rebuilt with carbs and clutch for $50. Just so happens I have a 1980 TX 440. The motor in it now is fine but knowing you have a new backup won't hurt.

I don't believe this. I just went over to pick up the motor and bought another old sled. It is a 1980 Polaris Centurion, liq. cooled 500cc 3 cylinder. It needs paint but it is all straight and runs great. $100.

We will see. My old 440 hauls pretty good so the 500 should do ok.

Sometimes that's the best insurance against breaking the primary engine!!

No, it is the guys I bought the Polaris from. He wants $700 for it so I need to wait until the bank opens in the AM.
Hay, check out this Caddie Truck
