bike is an 01 rancher 350 4×4 ES.
There are a couple of replacement motors on ebay from $700-1300. Basically the more you pay, the better you get, warranty, rebuilt, etc.
However there is one about 8 hours south of me ending tomorrow morning on ebay. guy says he sold the bike so he doesn’t need the replacement motor. Good motor. currently $400. He hasn’t listed the year, or if it’s 4×4 or 2×4. Just lists as a honda 350 rancher motor. I can see that its an ES model by the case, just can’t tell if it’s 4×4.
So my question is, does it matter as long as it’s an ES motor, if it’s 4×4 or 2×4, and will it work on my 4×4? I have till 8am central time to bid tomorrow!
here’s a link to ebay listing:

figured switching motors would be easier and faster than trying to swap everything into a new case. No telling what else if I went that route even though it would be cheaper.
