You know you’re old ……

When you’ve added 2 couches with engines to your collection . Just picked up 1000xp I’ve read about the framebraces and the gearbox cover. This machine will see the mountains in Phoenix Hatfield And Mccoy’s in West Virginia in the sand dunes in Glamis California I doubt I will ever even use the four-wheel-drive feature do I need to bother with the gearbox cover ?

660-Will these work? Phillips heads getting sloppy

Thought I read somewhere about cvt primary grease cover screws possibly interfering with the "cage" after 1.5mm shim? Think I’ve spread the primary as far as it’ll go (shims in place) and it’s not even close.

Been waiting for a new oem belt for 3 days while UPS sits on it 20 miles away so it’s not like I’m able to check it. What I do want is to be ready to go as soon as the belt arrives.

Any solid tips for breaking in a new belt? I’ve read baby it for 60 or so miles or ride it normally from the git go.

Tia, Jerry

660 Grizzly Clunking in CVT side housing

First off, im sorry about multi posts. Im learning the forum. Ive tried to edit and even delete the other posts but have not figured it out.

So heres the issue and where I have gone to try and narrow it down. There is a clunking in CVT side of my 02 660 grizzly.

What I have done so far is, completely removed the rear end. Removed wheels, axels, and differential. I have it on blocks right now. If you start it up and hit the gas while in gear, you can hear the clunking. Before I removed everything, it would even do it when rolling in neutral. I was told one way bearing possibly. But I believe I have to replace that from the other side of the motor. Any one have this issue before?

88′ Trail boss restoration

Hi, our first post here. We have an old weathered trail boss. We are unsure of the exact model, according to the registration papers it’s a 88, but the gear box has LO/HI, N R, or so it seems, the letters are gone, which seems to have been introduced in 89. The only number we could find was *159947 stamped on the rail by the cyllinder on the left side. The nines could also be zeros or maybe eights, it’s a bit rusty to be honest. We think it could be a fun project getting rolling again.

Last time we tried to start it, the start motor worked, but there was no ignition and there was a fuel leakage from between the cylinder and head. So our plan is to try out the engine with new gaskets, new spark plugs etc and then try to remove as much rust as possible and give it a new finish. It looks like a nice machine and it could be a lot of fun, both fiddling with it and riding it.

Any advice or tips are appreciated. Thank you.
