Unfortunately it smokes like a freight train, and has a knock in it once it warms up. But it is complete with no missing parts. My thoughts were I would either rebuild and stroke it when I got home, or have it done for me while still on deployment. But then I ran across this today.
It is also an 05, with about the same miles on it. The engine runs great, but it is completely missing the front diff. has all the drive shafts and actuater, but the diff is gone.
I have about 1000 bucks in the grizzly, and I am sure that I can get that back out of it, and I can get the brute for 1500. I know the brutes have alot of problems on the earlier years. But there are just as many good stories as there are bad ones out there. AND I KNOW I WILL GET AN UNBIASED OPINION ON THIS SITE! :rofl: So which one would you choose to have and fix?
My mechanical ability will allow me to do either one. My riding style I believe either one will suit. Mostly trails, in mountains, with mud, sometimes to much mud, and I will be using it for hunting and occasional property maintenance.
I do also still have my 2014 550, but that will be mostly for my wife on the weekends to enjoy.
