Model 400 was popular for kids and the ladies...
414 was the 4hp 'climber', high gear ratio model, while the 404 was a faster 4hp gote. The 403 was a 3hp version.

I got it all apart now after a hell week in my shop after a customer ran into my shop in his car I just fixed and spilled 55 gallons of waste paint thinner across my floor and took out a wall and a few airlines and ruined a few paint guns I’m just about up and running again.

 

[Sport King Eric]

Happy that everything is at least starting to be fixed, and I thought I was having a bad week!!! I am really wanting to see this goat!

My dad did a 400 last year. At first I wasn't too excited about it but once it was finished we all fell in love with it, I think you made a good choice!

 

[Davis]

It’s not much to see at the moment it’s gutted now. And Tim I’ve seen that gote it’s great one of the better ones for kids for sure.

Dang, sorry to hear about the damage to your shop.

Finally got my shop fixed up and kinda caught up on my backlog of work. Got my paint mixed up today it’s gonna be a bright pearl yellow with a bright silver motor and wheels. Had to switch it up on this one kinda getting tired of red with black motors. I thought I had a nice 4hp briggs lined up for this one but the guy that has it welched on selling it to me. So I’m looking to do a briggs 5hp dual bearing ic block.

Not a lot to report on this one but don’t count me out yet.
