Have fun with it

Oh, I intend to have fun with it. Not that there are many places that I can use it here. I’m thinking of keeping it registered in Wisconsin for that reason. That way I won’t have to pay the daily non-resident user fees. May as well put that flatbed trailer to use.
As far as keeping it running, I have a pretty good track record of keeping old crap going; 75 year old DeSoto, 44 year old Honda, 25 year old Troy-Bilt tractor. My only semi failure so far has been the 72 Kitty Kat with the failed unobtainable coil on the little Kaw engine. Not done with it yet.
I was corrected on the rig it’s an Xplorer 400, not a Scambler. Little lower top end and more capable on the rough stuff.
