Saw this club and thought I should log in. I'm a mechanic in New Zealand and have been mainly self employed in small rural communities for the last forever. I've worked on everything from heavy machinery and decent sized boat motors to tiny model airplane engines,

If there's anything I can help with let me know.

 

The quad forums here are great, particularly so due to the friendly atmosphere and lack of arguing or slagging off.. which seem to be the norm some places..  Good work guys.

No trouble, my pleasure.. 

Tell me, do we get those points on the leader board when someone likes our post do we ? I've been trying to figure out how I got up there.. 

 

(I hope that's a covid mask you're wearing, not a highwaymans.)

Oh ok, and Hi. And I guess being as how you're fixing a quad you must be rural ? Being a country mechanic's a good thing, plenty of variety and great customers..

Howdy,

I'm a mechanical engineer that has been working on, breaking, fiddling with, building, and reading about just about anything with mechanical parts.  I have done all my own fixing of stuff since I built my first motor scooter in 7th grade.  I was born in 1949, same as my 8N Ford tractor.  Consequently I have enjoyed the evolution of technology in so many areas.  At 74 I am still having fun learning new things, so this forum will be a great source.

      Hi everyone,
       I often work on both ATVs and larger construction equipment, and I’m always on the hunt for solid OEM manuals—service, repair, and parts. The usual searches give a lot of random PDFs or unofficial scans that aren’t very trustworthy.
      What online sources do you all use when you need a factory manual quickly? Are there sites you’ve found that consistently provide genuine OEM content for ATVs or heavy machinery?
      I recently came across Heavy Equipment Manual, which claims to provide verified OEM service and parts manuals (covering brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Kubota, etc.). Has anyone here tried it, or do you have other go-to resources you’d recommend?
      I’m interested in options that are:
      ·        Fast to download
      ·        Cover both heavy equipment and ATV models
      ·        Clear on licensing and safety
      Thanks for sharing your experiences and any recommendations!

      Is there any way to mod an Outlaw 50 to increase the speed? The size is perfect just would like a little more top end speed. Thanks

      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi all, new to here, looks like a great site. Own two atvs, an at the moment not working honda fourtrax and a yamaha moto4 of some description, trying to work out what model yammy it is.

      3500lb, synthetic rope lead and everything needed to install for........................................ $89 bucks!  I'm installing one on my '01 Bombardier Quest and it looks like a legit buy. If you have a RK nearby & you need a winch you might want to swing by before they disappear.
