Full Kit Stage 1 + Winch WARN Utility Quad Giveaway

Good morning, I am new to the forum. I'm 75 years old and love getting ATVs back to usable condition. I particularly like the 2006-2009 Arctic Cat 250 Utility. I currently own 6. The 2006 I am working on only has reverse and low gear. The "drive shaft" in the transmission is completely stripped where the high gear would mesh. Has anyone on here replaced the shaft. I'm told I have to split the case. I was hoping that someone on here could let me know how hard it will be. I already have it stripped down to where the shaft coming in from the clutch side is the only thing left. I was hoping I could just remove the driven clutch and drive it out from there. Directions say different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just thought I would start a poll on this topic manly because I'm not a fan of belt drives. Just want to know which you prefer.

I have a Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 250. I want to put a winch on it, but just wondering if the charging system will handle it or not ? Has anyone added one to their machine and have you had any issues?

Can’t for the life of me find replacement shocks for this thing!
One of my front shocks went out and I’m running around in circles trying to come up with a replacement after my JB weld fix broke for good.
I’ve seen other forums talk about jerryrigging snowmobile shocks to fit, and I myself just purchased 70$ shocks off Amazon from China that seem to fit the measurements, but is there really no other option?

I have a Sportsman 450 HO and almost killed my self when loading it on my truck with ramps.  It rolled off the top of the ramps and tailgate and nearly landed on me.  I now want to winch the ATV in to the truck.  My question is are the front side bed tiedowns in my 2011 RAM strong enough to winch to without distorting the hooks or sides of the bed?
