    Nice find they have tractor like bottom end just point it and wick it. She will power through anything. My son before he raced the KDX had my '83 430wr. He fun rode with sone NETRA, AA, A &B riders they were impressed what that old husky could do she was bone stock. Bought it broke down the PO said it needed a clutch. The inside clutch rod was too long making the clutch slip. A 15 minute fix.

    Thanks Guys,,,

    Used the basketball to transport it home. Now it has a 1"x2" cut to length, holes drilled to bolt onto the shock mounts, propping it up so I can move it around. the Shocks are in a box taken apart

    No, I had a 87 250WR, brought it new off the showroom floor.

    I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning when I'm headed home with my new prize on the trailer. I can't sleep till I take it apart to see what's wrong with it. Husqvarna it's an addiction the only cure is to buy more.
    We all know the Swedish bikes rock.
