Looking for an old Cycle Country or KFI push tube

Have a project I want to do and part of it needs a push tube from an old wore out plow. I’d pay shipping if anyone has an old useless plow around that has a usable push tube. Would need to be a Cycle Country or KFI mid-mount style push tube as that is what would work with my mount. PM me if you have something available. I’ve been searching locally on CL but to no avail.

fill plug for front diff.

I am about to change my front differential fluid on my 15′ 570.The fill plug is buried behind my winch.I have not seen any mention of dismounting the whole front assembly and winch to access this plug-but I don’t see another way. Am I missing something here?..thanks

Hello all
I am new to this site but I have owned 2 Grizzly 450"s since 2007
I live in Utah and have two children, 5 grandkids and one great grandson.
I use one of the grizzly machines to plow my landing strip of a driveway in the winter but like to ride either in the summer.
Glad to join a community of like minded people

400 Kodiak Overheating

Now that my 2000 Kodiak is running well after the carb rebuild, I’ve turned my attention to my 2001 400. I bought it used – generally it runs great but it overheats on really hot days.

I pulled out the fan and found it was no good so I put a new high flow fan in. Could now hear the fan run, but it would kick off after about 20 seconds and then only come on for an instant about every 5-10 seconds – not enough air to cool the engine and radiator fluid. I then replaced the circuit breaker and the thermo switch in the radiator. Still only comes on for 20 seconds initially and then cycles on and off every 5-10 seconds. I am guessing it will still overheat if run hard enough on a hot day.

My 550 and other 400 both run the fan full speed when the engine calls for it until the engine and radiator fluid are cooled.

This info might be useful to some of you guys who have heard about, or are interested in a MOSFET regulator upgrade. It’s not specific to any make/model, really applies to our universal upgrade kit. Worth a read and checking out for a solid upgrade.
