Winch trouble

I have a 2016 850 with a polaris winch… the handlebar switch was coming loose and very touchy.. we were busting new trails and i think when i stood up to look around i hit the switch and sucked the hook right in, and i can’t see it.. now im not sure what to dis-assemble to retrieve the hook. Just the rollers?? Does the whole front roller assembly come off??… Any help would be great..

2000 TRX350FE Rancher -remove driven pulley

Folks
I am having an issue with a driven pulley removal.
Its a 2000 350 rancher trx-fe 4×4 es.

I followed in the manual and I —
removed the engine from the frame
removed the recall starter

it says, "hold the recoil starter driven pulley using a screwdriver to scotch the thing" and loosen the bolt.

That sucker is on there very tight – I mean I cranked at 120 ft pounds 3′ long ratchet torque wrench and cant get it off.

I used an 3/4" impact with 17mm impact socket at 155LBS on compressor and nothing broke loose.

I used a breaker bar and a pvc pipe to get leverage and nothing broke loose.

Now i have been doing lefty loosy.

Is this thing opposite to get it off or –as in, turn to right to loosen? http://www.hondaatvforums.net/forums…ies2/blink.gif

I am 270 LBS and 6’3" and can bench at least 250lbs, this little boy is sweating trying to get it off.

any ideas appreciated as I don’t want to break this off in the crankshaft.

Just want to remove this side to change out the cam shaft and chain.

thanks again folks !!

1987 TRX 350 electrical problem

My older friend whom does not have access to the net, has been battling an electrical gremlin with his 87 TRX 350. Everything was working perfect until it started dieing on him when puting it into gear. It starts perfect and idles great. Most of the time it would run down the road without any problem at all but would just die every once in a while while driving. It then progressed to dieing when puting it in gear after starting up and idling without any problem. Eventually progressed to not being able to put it in gear without dieing every time.

Internet searches pointed to the fan control switch. Ordered a used one since you can’t get a new one any longer. This fixed the problem! But just for a short period of about two weeks and the same problem started again.

Is there a way to bypass the fan control switch? Or what could possibly be making this part to go bad??
