What ATV is this?

[logicalcyco]

Purchased this today.
It has a "buckaroo" sticker on the side of it(6 inch X3inch), not sure if that is the name or was added by a previous owner.
Need to get some parts for it and I can find no record of it on the net.
I know it is not a 6 wheeler but I couldn't find a better place to ask.
Thanks for any and all help.

You have lockley wrangler. I have never had one and don't know much about them. I have hear multiple different statements about them being amphibious or not. Good luck with it and keep us updated on the progress. Cool Machine!!!

Cool, thanks for the info.
Will keep you all updated.
Any idea where I should start looking for the rear drive sprockets?
Thanks again.

There are a few members here on the site that has had them or have them. You could probably try posting in the wanted section.
Sometimes you may have to fabricate our own. Or find a shop that will.

First find out what size chain and what size shaft the sprocket needs to fit. Then count the number of teeth you need.
I love McMaster-Carr for the fantastic service, but they are not the only ones out there. McMaster-Carr You will probably need to cut off the old sprocket and weld on the new. Have a machine shop do the welding unless you are familiar with how metals move when welded. You dont want it to wobble when you are done. Good Luck. Let us know if it floats.

I just bought a Lockly Wrangler off Craigslist... There is another one in Cleveland at the moment if you want parts! And as far as it floating... ha! It could, if the stearing had a seal, and the rear half shaft that goes thru the haul had a seal as well as the brake cable... then depending what fat ass is driving (such as myself) it may or may not float ! I myself am willing to find out with mine!!!

I just picked up a Lockley Buckaroo that has the stickers on it as well, it must be the model name. It is a running condition barn find with an 11hp Briggs pull start motor which I think is original to this model.

Bought one of these awhile back but don't have anything to show for it. Made a deal with the owner, was going to come pick it up the next day. Call to tell him I'm coming (2+ hour drive) no response, guy won’t respond entire day. Next day says he's going to trade it for a kayak. I’m pissed as we already worked out a deal. Next day calls me back, tells me the guy wouldn’t trade the kayak and asks if I want it for 3x our original agreement. Of course tell him no. Week later calls me at 10pm tells me if I want it for the original price I can have it, but I need to come right now to get it because it’s going to the dump. I’ve got work the next morning and wouldn’t be home till 3am earliest tell the guy his loss.

Been aggravated by the whole thing till this day, still want one lol

I've seen several and driven two over the years. No offense to anyone that may have one, but they are as amphibious as a golf car. In my opinion a golf car would probably be a better value as they will carry heavy loads and most are serviceable and parts are out there both used and new.

Both of the Lockleys I've driven rode like a wagon and had a bone jarring ride, and were very underpowered, as well as turned poorly.

One thing I can say about the Lockley is that I that it was never really marketed as amphibious, it just looks like it should be amphibious. Comparing it to a golf cart is like comparing apples to oranges. It is more like a really old side by side rear wheel drive quad. After spending some time driving it, it is very capable going up and across steep hills and doesn't lose traction or feel like its going to tip over like a regular golf cart. Can't compare it to expensive side by side units of today, but with its solid rear axle it tears right through snow and mud and is lots of fun to ride around in. These are old so they weren't supplied with powerful motors like the buggies of today but it still has a cool factor of most people having no clue what it is. There really aren't may parts to be replaced on it either, and there really isn't anything on it that can't be found or made easily.

You know you are correct in terms of what they were, a small UTV before UTVs hit the market. The Lockleys I saw in the swamps, the owners were under the impression that they were amphibious. One owner went back to his dealer who had to do extensive repairs to the machine under warranty for flooding out the machine and sinking it. So I think some dealers actually passed on that the machines were capable of swimming.

The Lockley was similar to the first of the Ranger series UTV, nothing like they would eventually morph into. I think it was another example to an idea that could have been marketed better and been more successful.

I have a Lockley Wrangler 295 and id agree they aren't a amphibious yes they can float but even with mine I wouldn't trust to float across a lake. A river maybe if its not a very big one! They are good for eye cathers or used like a golf cart. Like someone else said they are rare and cool to look at but at the same time almost impossible to find parts for. I had to make my own sprocket after my original one sheered teeth off. If you have one and needs a sprocket look at my gallery to see what I did to get mine back up and running! Also you will find there a couple flyers I found on these. I hope this helps anyone that has one!
