175 frame?

I purchased the 175 frame plus some frame parts, smaller gas tank,
but lost the bid on the engine. I have a complete 430wr engine sitting here.

That's a lot of frame weight for a 125/175 engine. The 125 frames got smaller in '85?

not even close to an 82 or an 83 piston. and 83 is so different evn from 83 piston

i dont think there was ever a specific 125 frame. they are all the same size.

125./175s used the same frame as the bigger bikes. The 75-76 175 piston is totally different than the 82-83.

You guys are right same WR frame same WO-00000 serial number. So matching numbers for a 83 430 WR AC HUSKY. I have the correct engine number. Now I have the correct drum brake front fork setup but I may put the drum brake front wheel a side and put a disc brake front end. If the kid races post vintage we can change the front wheel.

Dam, too good to be true. sorry guys thought I was helping.

No problem. It is confusing because there are 3 different 175 engines. One is based on the old aluminum case 125, the 75-76 is nothing but a destroked and debored Mag 250, and then you have the '83 which is based on the '77-'83 125 Mag. Then to add even more confusion, there are two different pistons for the '82 HP kit and the 83 production bike.

So in 83 it was a one year thing? (rare bike then)

One production year, or sort of two if you count the '82 175 kit bikes. The '83s are not common, but I would not really call them rare either, they sold WRs and XCs and they sold quite a few of them, what is rare is the piston. I think there were probably a lot of them that people gave up trying to get a 175 piston and did what bill did, put a bigger easier to find parts for engine in their 175 chassis.

The dealer I purchased the 430wr from thought it was a military 250 the four serial numbers matched. I could see she was a big bore looking through the exhaust port. I kept quiet and bought it as a 250. She's complete ign and all.

just count the fins.
8 -250
9 -430
10 -500
easy peasy

And the 75-76 175 is 6 fins.

I believe all the military 250s were autos so I'm not sure how you could mistake one of those for a 430WR.

Is this the piston needed?

I have 4 already so I'm not interested at $300 but someone might bite at that price.
