Vin# is located on the left side frame rail. Find the frame rail below the shift lever, follow that rail forward to where it goes up the wheel well. Get down low and look up behind the wheel well at the frame rail.

It's that time of year again! Anyone do anything interesting with their ATV for the holidays?

I'm going to take this opportunity to revive a very old thread, instead of posting a new one on this topic. It's been 11 years since I started this topic, can't believe I've been posting on this site for 11 years and back then I wanted a satellite radio for my car but today I have it built in, plus a fancy little app for siriusxm on my phone. Times sure have changed, have 2 kids now and really just wait to see what they want for xmas mostly. All I really want is happiness and health and for my kids to have a great xmas, sounds corny but I'm blessed and can't really think of anything I REALLY want. I'm 43 and gadgets and electronics aren't doing it for me as much anymore, don't need the latest. However, I'm working on my house so anything "Home Depot" will do! Post your xmas wishes and list for 2018!

Well that's pretty cool, it's the first time I've ever heard of this. Had to look it up! Wasn't even sure what PTO was...lol. I want one to cut my grass! Found this video on Youtube. As far as shutting off in high gear, I wonder if there's some fail safe switch or something like that. This way you aren't in high gear with an attachment maybe? Do you have manual?

Been A While. The issues above were solved eventually through a lot of digging and perseverance. I saw the last item pop up on a few forums about starting with electric starter and pull starter. Which I had an issue with as well. 1. The machines would almost always crank over without a problem but would not always start. Although would start easily with pull starter. What I have found is that when cranking it with electric start it would seem to have spark so you think its good but that spark is not consistent which you really cant tell that by just looking at it. The problem is your Pulse or Trigger coil is just a whisker to far away from the flywheel. Its close enough to run and not give you a problem in most conditions So the next question is? 2. But why does it start with the pull starter and not the electric. The pull starter engages the flywheel at the center which does not put any mechanical forces on the flywheel. The Starter gear on the other hand does and that angular stress or force is just enough to move the flywheel away from the trigger coil which in turn gives you the problem of not starting with the electric starter. Like a said its just a thousands (very small gap) I had this issue with 4 older machines (3 425"s and 1 500 90's vintage) What I had to do was access the trigger coil and adjust it closer to the flywheel I used the closest measurement. I also had to on one machine elongate the mounting holes (very little) to get that close gap. But after doing so I no longer had that issue of will not start with electric starter but will start with pull starter. Again this was all on 1990's machines. Hope this helps and RIDE ON
