Yeah i died a little on the inside when we pulled up and saw the thing destroyed. but the things almost back together!

Got it started today... still got a few loose ends to tie up and to make it drivable.

Pictures my little man, pictures! lol

Few pictures... got it to run had to use a wrench to complete the starter relay. gotta find the short and fix it

looking good keep up the good work.

got the starter issue fixed. took it for its first drive today. didn't go wide open because i don't have seat belts in it yet but it just won't pick up when i did push the throttle all the way open. also drove a little funky. may need to replace some things in the front suspension. But it moved on its own!

That's a good start... NOW GO GET SOME SEAT BELTS... before something on the front end breaks off and we lose a newbie ody maniac...

Yeah lol i've got the seat belts, just don't have the bolts lol. I'll pick them up from nuke em's garage tomorrow lol

Help yourself Mark, lots of goodies in there. You going stock belts or one of the 5 points in the box? I don't care either way.

Was gonna go with a 5 point belt instead of stock. Just a matter of trying to find bolts lol

Just grab some assorted bolts and nuts from the 2 thin upper drawers near the back door. Not sure the factory shoulder bolts will fit the straps. I have extras of those in the red tool box.

I think they will but i'm not positive. i'll figure it out. i've still got to figure up that carb issue.

the bolts for the belts are a 5/8" standard size not metric... so look for a 5/8" socket while your at it... check and double check before you stick just any bolt in because that is not a metric like all the other bolts on an ody...

Will do. I might just move mine over to nuke ems garage so i can use his track to hone mine in alittle more, and work with his son on his.... if i can get him to focus lol!

must be the GF??? LOL

Here's a few more pictures. the first few are of the front left wheel, which is doing some really wierd stuff. its trying to fold under the odyssey, don't know why but am trying to work on it. the guy who sold me this thing with out telling me about it being underwater for an unknown amount of time, also gave me a box of front end parts. (i probably should have taken that hint) but at least he gave me the parts.

was the entire machine under water? or was the Engine full of water just from putting the fire out?

check your bushings in the front of the J arms... Once you dis-assemble the lf check the stubs, hopefully they are not bent!!! Ball joints need to be check also... Please do this thoroughly before riding this or this might fall off and flipityflop you will go...
How come there is no snow on the ground??? Last time I was there in May there was that crap every where???

I don't know anything about 350 suspension,but the shock looks closer to the frame at the bottom than the top?I'm guessing the lower arm is bent in?

Whats the story with the 3wheeler in the back ground?

And the truck, looks like a 76-77 short bed 4x4? ATC looks like a 90cc say 78 or 79?

Your pretty good hoser! The pick up is a 78 short bed 4x4. the three wheeler is a 110 atc. got it from nuke em, had a siezed motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) and it got put on the back burner after the odyssey showed up lol

Spot on turbo, the bushings were worn to hell and back. The stub on the frame is fine, i checked with another j-arm. Nuke em (once again) has a stock pile of j-arms and welcomed me to it. Had a little bit of snow a few weeks ago, but it keeps blowing away!

I'm guessing completely under water. I took bolts out of whats left of the seat and it was filled with water, and there were little bits of grass and other little things wrapped around the axles and bottom of the frame. Looks like it was sitting in running water like a creek. Also if you look at the pictures with the head lights in them, one has a little water in it lol

Fixed the jarred wheel, fixed the limiter switch in the transmission, and figured out the air box wasn't letting enough air through.
