Upgrade from 2002 660 to a 2007 700 EPS

Hi Everyone, I just landed a major opportunity to upgrade my 2002 660 to a 700 EPS. Major craigslist find from a widow whos husband died in 2009, after putting 460 miles on his brand new 2007 700 EPS. Bought it on site for $4,500, called my buddy and sold my 2002 for $3,500 all in one day.

So I got the wheeler home and started going through it. It’s a brand new machine. Not one aftermarket mod, not a single thing done since it was brought home new. They had drained the gas and stored it since 2009–It’s absolutely mint.

In the last three weeks, I have bought a new Warn 3000 winch, a provantage front plow mouth, synthetic rope, throttle extender, big bear windshield, and auxbeam 72W LED light bar, and have had a blast installing all the new parts. I have a 60" provantage plow on order, and moved over my ITP type 4 wheels and radial tires from the 660.

I’m a tinkerer, and love to spend time in the garage working on the toys. I had gone through the 660 when I first got it and tore it down to the frame, checking and replacing every moving part, cleaning the carb, adjusting valves, changing out wheel bearings and axles, etc., but no matter how hard I tried I could not, in a million years make that 660 feel as clean and new as this 700 does!
