2003 Rancher 2wd to 4wd conversion
I took the front case off of my 2wd and put the 4wd case on it off of my donor bike. The two machine’s motors are exactly alike other than the front cases. I have read in so any places where this is not possible. It is. My Honda dealer said they didn’t know if it would work and told me to go buy a 4×4 and don’t try and make one. Well, Honda made it, i just played with it a little bit. I pulled the front a arms off with the knuckles and a right and left assy. I didn’t want to risk the a arms being different as that is very possible. Plus, i didn’t feel like fighting upper and lower ball joint nuts, so I left verything together. While it was all apart, I replaced the wheel bearings. It is easier to swap the cases than it is to swap motors. I swapped the case with the motor still in the quad.
Good luck!
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something!!
Grizzly 550 Fi starter wires need help
The wires on the starter were disconnected we have now put the positive from the battery on the top of the starter there seems to be another black wire there and a smaller black wire with a blade plug. at the moment when we turn it over by shorting the solenoid the smaller black wire is burning in the loom all the way to the front dash. I wonder if someone could take a pic or instruct me where the two black wires near the starter go if I put them both on the starter it slows down the cranking and heats the smaller black wire with the blade connection
any help would be good we have looked at the manual but i’m not that good with diagrams
Which GPS question
What I am looking for is recommendations based on my needs which I list below.
I have a Garmin Nuvii 40 and can get a Nexus 7 tablet, I also have a Samsung S6 phone I am not adverse to using any of these devices if they’ll do what I want. I would get waterproof cover but would want to mount it on the ATV with a mount that would allow for quick R&R.
1. I want a GPS that is reliable for ATV’ing.
2. Ease of use is paramount. I love GPS but have suffered through the learning curves of the original eTrex’s. Basically I don’t want days of pain to learn how to semi use a device, and there is nothing, no feature that will overcome that.
3. Must be under $400 and be able to handle most of the downloadable maps.
4. Save my butt! I have been in the situation where I was on unfamiliar trails and losing light with little idea where I was. I want a device that can eliminate situations like that by reliably tracking me back out or better yet, show alternative quicker routes.
5. In Hatfield & McCoy and other locations some of getting from point a to b is on paved roads, so a GPS that can show paved road directions is a must
