Just picked up today I know it's nothin fancy but its what I wanted ready to let it role gotta get some tires though

that right there is one of the toughest ones ever built

no doubt, it's ashame they can't make a 500-600 now days as tough as the old 300s.

NICE!!!

I have the same exaxt scooter. tough as nails

Congrats man

Y'all got any recommendations on the tires I should get as far as size, and are the brakes worth fighting with to get them working?

Best bike ever built IMO, no- brakes aren't worth fighting.
It will last forever if you don't Ghetto-ize it with all the tire/snorkel/lift,crap.

Congrats

The brakes wont last for what you will be using it for

I like that, I do need some tires though I bought it to use in the fields where I hunt with McNabb and stock tires just won't cut it

26" vampires

25" on front and 26" tires on the rear. The factory tires were sized like this due to front and rear having slightly different gear ratios. Look into highlifter disc brake conversion kit if you really want brakes, the old drums usually aren't worth repairing.

Do y'all think it would be to rough on it to go with these Attachment 41124
I wanna put the 27x7.5x14 all the way around like I said must of the mud this bike will see is in a rice field and it seems the skinnys do well finding bottom I'm just worried that they would be to much for the bike

I would go smaller tire and more grip. I got some old school vampires on my 300 and it turns them good but might bog down with anything much bigger. Love mine. Puts engine in a bind hauling 3 people but it is bulletproof.

agree with all those above...bullet proof

I did a websearch and highlifter discontinued the rear disc conversion.

I need to get my rancher up to par this year. Nice ride u got there btw

From what Johnny is saying with the gearing you would need 26" in the front and 27" on the rear. Just a thought but where you hunt will the extra inch find bottom? Really only half an inch rise by going 1" taller on the tire. Of course I'm assuming you'll have some weight if you're using it for hunting. If that's the case it'll definitely be looking for the bottom.

1 inch shock spacer, 27" tires and a gear reduction and your nearly unstoppable with this bike. Axle paddle if you really feel feel like it.
Talk to arceneauxs little brother. He will help you out. Welcome to the 300 world

:rotfl:

I know I know.. Lol.
Hagen ever send you that pic?

Which pic?

APT Mudlites are great...

I was surprised big time today I went to help McNabb and the rest of specklebelly huntin club pick up our teal blinds and my new rig roled straight threw with no problems till everyone left I think the carb has some trash it gave me a fit for a couple minutes and then got me out as planned

I'm wantin to change all the fluids on my bike for peace of mind does anybody have recommendations as what kind of fluids I'm gonna change:
Motor oil
Transmission fluid
Rear end
And front end
