So I stripped the splines on my front propeller shaft and the bushing on the front differential while plowing snow. The next day I load my quad into my truck and take it to my brothers house to pull the prop shaft in his heated garage. I unloaded the quad in his driveway and am reversing in two wheel drive through 6" of snow, the quad will barely move with the tires spinning and suddenly I hear a snap / clunk sound. Turns out the rear final drive piled up, this is the second time it has happened with less then 1000 km on the machine. The first time it happened with around 400 km on the quad, this time it is around 900 km on the quad. The first time it happened on gravel I had just shifted from reverse to low and snap / clunk, Can Am replaced it due to low km on the machine. This time they say that they will not replace it, I’m pretty choked that their rear final drives fail so easily, it is ridiculous to break 2 of them in less then 1000 km. I’m starting to see why everyone calls them Canned Ham, right now it is just an expensive pile of junk, its gonna cost me about $2000.00 to get it running again after spending almost $1000.00 on a Canned Ham plow system that I used once. That’s my rant for the day, I’m going to talk to Jarret Burley at Mud-N-Wheels. I just wish I could find a prop. shaft and bushing from somewhere else so that I never have to give Canned Ham my business ever again.
