01 Yamaha Wolverine 350 Front drive Shaft

[pastorjeep]

Hey guys, I just picked up this quad that hasn't run an a few years. It is missing the front drive shaft. Does anyone have the can measure for me or know of a replacement? If I can get the dimensions I can try to use one from another machine. Thanks!

I looked up wolverines for 01 and 02  and they weren't four wheel drive.. Might pay to get the frame number. I think it will be on the lower left frame right near where a foot gear shift would normally be.

What years were the 4x4 made?

I just looked it up and it says 4x4 was made 1995-2001.

Ok, so if you look it up in partzilla, and choose the part as though you were going to buy it, and then click a tab called "product fitment", it will tell you what other years and/or models the shaft fits.. And if you take that genuine part number and put  itinto google it will find you some driveshafts for sale.

Thanks, that is what I have been searching. So this is what I found. The 1995-2000 front shaft is the same as the Big Bear 350 and Kodiak 400. The 01-05 front drive shaft is listed only for the Wolverine. Not sure what changed from 2000 to 2001? Trying to find something I can modify to fit.

Right. And I wonder if the universals off other models fit the shaft's splines.

I think you should find your frame number and confirm which it is, the model up to 2001, or the model from 2001 onwards... Then try to find the shaft you know will fit.
