I havent seen one of those before. I would see what engine was used or what platform of ATV it was based off. Research 1989 Yamaha YFU1W Pro Hauler standard equipment and specifications at NADAguides. At least then you would know you could find parts. For example.if it used a Yamaha MOTO-4 platform then most parts from that would fit the pro-hauler. If it is a late 80's machine as i suspect, they were pretty durable. Most were simple air cooled, single cylinder motors with manual transmissions. This simple design didnt leave much to go wrong. Keep the fluids full and fresh and you are OK. On the trail this would be a rough ride. Newer ATV's have independent long travel suspension and CVT transmissions for trail ease. My opinion is that is a little high for a late 80's ATV (If it is that old). I just bought a 'farm beater' atv last summer. It is a early 90's 4X4 Yamaha Timberwolf 250. Runs and looks good. I am wondering if this guy is having you pay extra because it is 'rare'. I would suggest an ATV with a trailer (Usually can be had for $100 - $500) as an ATV suspension can only handle so much. Ya, 4x4 is the way to go if you want to do any hauling in wet or snow conditions. If you can do all your hauling when things are dry and no snow, it would probably work fine. You can opt for a pair of chains for the rear wheels if things get a little slippery. Vista ultimate 32 bit iso. It would haul some wood for ya, but I think you would be much happier with 4 wheel drive. Just be sure you don't get one you get stuck having to put some money in. (rode hard) Tuff to beat a Honda or a Polaris. I need to find me a wood hauler sooner or later. I want something like this so I can bring the wife or one of the kids along. And a trailer would be nice!
