Action age scrambler

[vgilbertson]

Hello
There is a 69 or 70 scrambler for sale locally. I haven't seen it yet. Looking for advise on what to look for. Supposed to run and drive, no damage below water line.
Thanks in advance
Vern

Only thing I can tell you is that they have no reverse!

Most, some have electric reverse and there was a geared add on I've never seen.

Hi Vern, I don't believe they have a real frame either. There are angle iron pcs. fiberglassed into the bottom of the tub. It would be an ok machine for kids if you got it cheap enough. Otherwise save your money for a newer machine. My 2 cents. good luck mike

what is cheap enough? the guy want 700.00

I think that might be a bit much for that machine.

Sounds like someone used what they had, it would hurt performance for sure if they disabled the torque convertor.

Scramblers can be a fun entry machine and are quite capable in forward, electric reverse is enough to back you off a tree or bank, no reverse sucks if you need it. For many people that do the occasional ride on smooth established trails or fields these machines could be great and comfortable.

JerseyBigfoot's daughter could put some of us to shame in her Scrambler.

Went and looked at it this evening. Damange on both side of the front wheels ,holes, front left hand corner was pretty rough, looked like original motor. Pull start on the side wall but had what looked like a starter motor in font of the engine. The guy selling knows nothing about it. Firm on 700.00. I told him way to much for the shape but wouldn't budge.

Walk away! You’ll be happier that way��

I agree, if he knows nothing and you know nothing you are better to leave it that way.
