Rear axle top up threaded housing broke today; please see pic.

Quad still usable until today but no value in it for costly replacement.

Would welcome any thoughts on "how can I keep it running" can the housing be repaired ???

Thanks oxidized_black

I have never used either heli coil or jb weld but have taken the time to look at youtube for both product usage.

Is there any added advice on the job for the 'Big Bear' broken thread that you can point me to.

Some questions I have to start with:

Do I need to strip out the casing to drill the hole to insert the coil

Do I use the original Big Bear (top up oil) bolt head in the new coil

Do I put the coil in before I start using and building up with the jb weld

Hope you don't mind these questions.

i think you can get a heli coil for the existing thread and another plug bolt that will fit in that new thread ...

once you have the heli coil in, i would start the build up from there ... just make sure the area is squeaky clean ... maybe use some brake cleaner spray all around that area

      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?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.

      Background,
      This winter (Dec.) I was plowing and everything just died, just quit.  No lights, no pull start, No nothing.  I've had this problem before and I changed the voltage reg and it ran fine for over a year. Then this.  So I changed it again, thinking this was the same problem.  Tried to start it and a small pin hole in the CDI appeared with electrical smoke.  
      Months go by and I finally decide to just replace parts (I'm Horrible at electrical issues).  I changed the stator, new CDI, new Voltage reg, new starter solenoid, tested the starter (prefect), charged the battery.  
      Went to start it and the solenoid rapidly clicked.  All the dash lights on, headlights work.  Pull stared it and it fired right up no issues.  Looked into the rapidly clicking starter solenoid and it was not enough juice in the battery.  Took the battery completely out and hooked up a jump box to it turned the key, light on, everything looks good.  Pushed the starter button and it fired right up ran great.  Turned it off to test it again, Turned the key and nothing.  No dash lights nothing.  Took the jump box off and pulled started it.  Started it right up.  Re-hooked the jump box, still nothing.
      Any Ideas?
