From Grizzly to Wolverine

Well after just over a year, I decided to go a diff route and get a side by side. Chose the Wolverine in Camo R Spec.

Full cab, track kit, cab heater, 12"LED bar and 2 LED reverse light for plowing. 6′ WARN plow w a 4500 lbs WARN winch.

Loved the Grizzly 700…but as some of you may remember I was having bottoming out issues (among other things…not motor or reliability issues) and just realized that this was going to be better for both of us. I sold my Grizz in one day with only 283 kms on it. Had to sell my enclosed too as the Wolvie wont fit lol…..YARDSALE

Real happy with it though…so far…and lookin forward to plowing with heat finally!!

Still have my 09 Nytro XTX 1.75 for rippin and tearin though…:gcrules:

Bearing “fixed” but shop said need bushings now?

I brought my grizzly 660 to sportmann bc I had play in my wheel and assumed it was the wheel bearing. The guy came out to look at it and agreed with me. I finally got a call today saying it’s ready but theyre saying I should do my bushings as well now. He said my bearing had a little play in it but the bushings had more. Is it just me or does it sound like they threw the bearing in saying it had a little play when really the bushings were shot. I’m gunna demand to see the bearing but is it typical to do both

I wanted a 700, landed a 660 instead

I’ll give a quick background about myself and reason for the 4wheeler. I bought a house back in April. This house is up on a hill and the driveway is steep as sh!t. I knew I was going to need something for snow removal. This was all the reason I needed to buy a 4wheeler. So, for months now I’ve been searching for the right one. We all have a budget, well most of who have a limited supply of cash do. :icon_ goofy: So, I set up a search alert on Craigslist 2 weeks ago. Then, last Sunday I got an email that a new grizzly has been posted in Indianapolis. It was for a 2004 Grizzly with only 97 hours and 325 miles on it. I thought to myself "WWWWHAT?" how is that possible? So, I replied to the listing that I was interested in talking to him about it. We ended up talking on Monday. He said that the bike had been sitting in storage for the last 7 years because the owner (His buddy) was in an accident and really couldn’t ride it anymore. So, I made him an offer on it, contingent it actually looking and running decent or relatively new. But, the bike was 3.5 hours away. I live in northern Indiana and this thing was down by Cincinnati. So, yesterday I took half a day off work, hooked up my trailer and drove. I got there around 3:30 in the afternoon and it was in great shape. You can tell it had been setting around. Some surface rust in areas. So, I took it home with me.

Side note……tried to post a pic. Evidently I need a post count of 10…so, I’m going to keep posting to this thread. lol :gcrules::getrdone:

Front diff CV joint issue?

while riding a few days ago i went through a pretty deep puddle. afterwards the bike would jerk to the left almost ripping the handlebars out of my hand. After about 10 minutes it was ok. I ended up going home afterwards.

Did my research on the site (awesome site BTW) and checked into a CV boot issue. Found a torn right outter boot.

Priot to taking everything apart I would turn the axle by hand. Felt "clicky" is the best way I could put it. Didn’t turn smooth like the left side. Prior to taking the CV axle out I turned the axle above the inner joint and it felt the same.

My question is it possible I have a bearing issue in my front differential or is there some sort of clutch in there?

Its a 2013 700 4×4. aprox 1150 miles on it.

Thanks in advance!
