My 99 explorer 300 stopped running a few weeks ago so I did a compression test and have 30 psi. The books state a minimum of 115 psi. So I think I have a problem. With this little of compression could it be just a bad piston ring or something major? Top end rebuild or total engine rebuild? How hard is it to do a top end rebuild yourself? Has anyone done it and documented the steps?
Is there a device that can be used in conjunction with rope that would allow a Grizzly to make progress up a steep hill BUT limit or prevent the Grizzly from falling or moving backwards.
I’m thinking that it would require the driver to tighten up slack as he/she made forward progress.
So, I finally got my front cargo box for my 850, and I just received my 2+2 Rotopax fuel tanks and deluxe mounts last night. I’ve been planning on mounting the Pax on top of the cargo box as many of you have, but just eyeballing it last night figuring out (roughly) where the mounts will end up on the lid it doesn’t look like all four holes of the mount will be on the "flat" part of the lid. (I hope this makes sense). One of the holes is over the part of the box that dips down 1/4 inch or so. Again, I haven’t done anything permanent yet, just eyeballing everything for about 10 minutes last night before I went to bed.
Question is: how do your mounts sit on your lid ? I can easily put three bolts on each mount which will probably be plenty, or I could put a few washers under the mount on the low spot as spacers to put four bolts in…
OR should I just buy the mounting bracket from Rotopax and mount it to the lid ? What did you guys do ? Pics would be helpful.
Thanks everyone.
Recently purchased a 2005 Polaris Ranger TM 650. Its not the cleanest thing to look at, but I think it has potential for just messing around the yard. Anyway, when shifting from reverse to forward, I have to push it (the UTV) a little to get it to go in gear. Dont have this problem when shifting from forward to reverse. Also, if its already in forward gear when I crank it, it works fine. Its only when shifting from reverse to forward. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks. (Wasn’t sure if this was the correct forum category to post in)
