[hangingon]

I hope I get to spend most of the day monday working on it. If so we will see what I can get done & what is left to do.

[cheriah]

Nice work Jeff! Trail ridin soon for you!!! I'm still re doin the kx.....ugh....new crank and water pump seals,,,,

[hangingon]

I'm so close I'm sanding the rusty & pitted exhuast so I can repaint it with high temp header paint. Once it's done & back on the quad it will be ready start it up.

[swampcat07]

Looking good. A wire wheel makes easy work of sanding the exhaust. The hi temp paint lasts about a year but looks really good. I just use brillo on the header pipes and that makes them look good enough.

Also take it for a spin before you put the plastics back on that is a blast, I smile ear to ear every time.

Hey guys as of around 7:40 pm today being thursday my quad started & I backed it up and went forward and once around the yard. I had some wiring problems to workout and now thats done. I for got I unpluged 2 wires when putting the exhuast on & I had to scrape some paint off where the grounds connect to the frame. Now to recheck all my bolts, nuts & hose clamps, cotter pins. Then put on the foot boards & plastics, skid plates. Still have the front bumper to sand and paint & later on the rims & plastics. Camara battery is charging!

lol !!!!!!

[pete59edsel]

Yeah!!! Red solo cup, I lift you up!!! Good job buddy!!

[hangingon]

Not too fast THERE 2 seals are leaking on the front diff. Always something going wrong looks like about $30 something for all the seals but first I'm going to make sure the diff works for some reason he cut the wires and the front accuator was one of them so I have to fix that first.

[swampcat07]

I use a little red and tacky between the seals and metal protector, it keeps the sand and mud out. Actually I am replacing the seals on my rear diff today.

Now for the wires that were cut make sure to solder them and apply a little dielectric grease then melt some heat shrink over them. This way you don't have problems there in the future.

[quadnut20]

Hey man It sounds like your real close to DONE !! Glad its workin out for you !!!!

[hangingon]

Thanks guys! Swampcat thanks for the info soldering the wires & heat shrink was the plan but I got some good news I was able to swap the wired part of my accuator with the one with the cut wires. The reason for this is my diff had locked in 4wd and would not come out and the metal block on my accuator was chewed up and the one I got when I bought the frame is in real good condition. So I got that done today, front brakes bleed and working & the floor boards done. My new seals & bumper bolts will be in tuesday got them order today. Lower front bumper sanded & painted.

[pete59edsel]

Closer.....

[marioweldinginc]

Looking good. Your brake lever looks trick! Nice job
