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.
I was looking to buy a new ATV.
I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
Polaris it a bit cheaper.
But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
I am looking into purchasing a new quad/ATV. It will mainly be used in the Precambrian Shield/Boreal Forest (northern Saskatchewan) for exploration work. I will be making my own trails, weaving around and over trees, in low-range. And then when I get from point A to B, I will probably drive back to point A and then tow a small trailer back to point B. I will probably have a passenger when doing this.
A couple of options that I have been looking at are the 2026 Can-Am Outlander Max Pro XU and the 2026 Honda Rubicon 520 DCT Deluxe. One is larger than the other and they both have different types of transmissions.
If any of you have had experience creeping around the forest with either these two machines or something similar I would like to know which one you would choose over the other and why.
Is one transmission going to jumpier than the other, taking into consideration that I will be driving in low range?
Will one have a better turning radius?
Will they stay cool at low speed?
Since I am not using it for trail riding, should I be looking at taller and/or wider tires for creeping around the bush?
Your comments are much appreciated.
Thanks.
So.. it a weird one.. The quad surges as you go down the road. By the looks of my tracks, it's one wheel only. High range, low range, 2 wd , 4 wd.. It just doesn't matter..
You can see in the pictures the marks it leaves. That was in a straight line, with hardly any acceleration.
Any ideas?
