This ATV runs great and has been gently used very little in the last 5 years I have owned it. Condition is average. It was kept in shed when not in use. I would estimate I used it about 10 hours a year. (I don't know about the previous owner.) Operating Condition: There is no known mechanical issues with this ATV. The fuel system was recently cleaned and the carburetor was replaced. It starts instantly and runs like a champ. I have the original manual and a third party service manual.The ATV shifts great. 4 Wheel drive systems has works flawlessly since the day I brought it home. Brakes work fine. Tires are in good shape. Appearance: The plastic is scratched up pretty good like most ATV of its age. The front skid plate was bent slightly by the previous owner. The metal surfaces including the top racks and the underside steel was recently repainted. I did this regularly to keep it looking nice and not let the surface rust get out of hand. This was not a ground up restoration. I simply sanded the areas with a wire brush to remove the surface rust. The surfaces were then painted with a high-grade Rustoleum paint. If you look closely you can see the wire brush marks, paint blemishes and imperfections. However, it looks nice now and should continue to do so for a couple years. I just don't want you to be deceived by the pictures. It is far from showroom condition but respectable for its age. The Plow: The plow is a 48 inch wide Cycle Country plow with a manual lift handle. I had talked to several people before I purchase to lift assemble and they said manual is the way to go. My teenage children had no issue operating the manual lift assy. I was very happy with it. The blade angle is manually adjustable in three positions.( Left, Straight, Right). The replaceable blade edge is a high density plastic because I had a concrete drive that I did not want to scratch with a steel blade. Also included is a set of tire chains for the rear wheels. They make a huge difference. My driveway is several hundred feet long with a 13% slope. I can plow deep snow going uphill with the chains with no problem. The plow was painted a couple years about to remove the surface rust and still looks pretty good but has blemishes like the ATV. Let me know if I can answer any questions. I am selling it because my kids are off at college and don’t ride any longer.(or help plow snow)
