My riding days are over

[hangingon]

After the news today I jacked the quad up to take the wheel off to make it easy to put the actuator back on now look what I found I glad I'm not hurt at tis point. Where the A arm mounts to the frame or more like where the A arm should mount to the frame!!!!!

Simple weld job. Know anyone with a mig machine? Bring a 12 pack of their fav beer. Good thing you found it

Not show stopping in my book, just glad you were not hurt!

I got a friend who welds I just need to see if theirs something to weld to it looks like it may have been repaired once already it's a little bent looking and rusty I think their is some metal missing I know the quad has some used replacement parts on the front but I'm not sure if it's from a crash where the front bumper mounts the bolts are broke off in the frame and I found a few bolts loose on the front. Strut, tie rod and A frame on one side. I have 2 friends that weld. The 1 has an auto body shop & builds rail buggy frames I think he would be the best one to weld it and if it needed some new metal i'm sure he could fix it but I need to see what he says needs to be done and the cost of what he would need to repair it. I also know where there is another frame too I'll have to get a price on it.

Good thing you weren't hurt! Good luck getting it fixed up.

It is always good to inspec your machine before riding. Glad you found it before you were hurt. Hope you can get it fixed.

I'm waiting to hear back on a frame. And my friend said he will take a look and see if he can weld it. This is the main reason I keep it on the ground were both old enough to break. Quadnut the new Yamaha YZF 450 & raptor 700 looked real good & the new BF with EPS setting on the showroom floor.

[pete59edsel]

That weld should be a cheap fix, a easy fix but could of been a bad wreck, glad you spotted it!

[hangingon]

Theirs a big gap there and part of the frame is cracked and the frame tube is bent to where it's not round anymore.

Duct tape and some hose clamps

ROFL:laugh: thats funny. Glad you weren't hurt Hanginon. It sucks having a broken quad, but they eventually get fixed. Hope it is up and running for you soon.

[hangingon]

My buddy looked at it and said it will be no problem to fix. It's close to the vin# on the frame so he suggested we get before and after photos incase a question ever comes up about the vin# looking like soomeone tried sanding it off. I' not sure when he will get to it I hope soon. He saide he wiil make a metal sleve for it and that it may not be as pretty as the factory look but it will be stronger.

Liquid nails and zip ties. I knew I should have bought my daughter at least a 250. Might have too trade her 90 in later.

[pete59edsel]

Thats why I have more than 1 ride...you never know!!

[PolarisRich]

If that A-arm let go on ya it could have sucked in a big way. Nice find, I think i'm going out to inspect mine before my next ride.

[hangingon]

Found a frame for 250.00 for 300 he will give me all the parts included would be the motor I need to check that might be a front diff too! I know it has new ball joints & tie rods. He sunk it and now the motors not running right.

[swampcat07]

That sounds like a good find. You may even be able to part some stuff out and make your money back. Just make sure the $300 isn't a bit too high.

[hangingon]

It does depend on whats left to go with it I know there was dynatec cdi box & all balls.

[Mudflap64]

Make sure it's not stolen.

[pete59edsel]

And all balls?? So this is a male shell?

[hangingon]

Thats one thing I do know it's not stolen.

[hangingon]

Well I'm going to look at the frame for my quad it has front & rear diffs, motor, trans pretty much all there minus cvt belt & plastics wheels which I had already bought from him. He asking 300.00 for it all so I might have parts to make some of my money back on or save them just incase. I may need them.

[hangingon]

waiting for a phone call to go checkout the frame and extra parts. "O" BOY "O"BOY!

[marioweldinginc]

I couldn't comment on the photos for some reason. Excellent buy sir! Good luck and keep us posted

[hangingon]

I'm going to need lots of luck. I'm stuck at this point with it. Looks like the rear swing axle is going to have to come out to get the motor out. I hope I don't have to pull the front diff. The deal paid off a frame and a working front diff. I paid less than I would have paid for the two diff parts Kawasaki said I needed.
