  1. Didn't need it on this ride. Some rides we do push the limits of range. BTW: Michelle is 60 years old. Not bad eh?

  2. I don't know of any adapters to allow a battery charger to act as a maintainer. Depending on the output of your solar charger, It could be a "maintainer" Dash board solar chargers rated between 5 and 10W and 13 to 13.5v will act as a maintainer.. Maintainers typically normally output a very low amperage, generally one amp or less and a voltage between 13 and 13.5v to apply a very low charge rate to balance the internal leakage of a battery. Normal full charge voltage of a 12v leaed acid battery is between 12.5 to 12.8V

  5. Is that a wet clutch...probably takes special oil? Tractor clutches were dry clutches and notorious for sticking when left set too long.

  7. Oil was drained and there were about 4 to 5 oz. of water in the crankcase but no sign of mixing with the oil. I put about 2 qts. of diesel into the crankcase and pulled the engine over by hand 20+ times and then drained that. Then I changed the filter and refilled with fresh oil.

  9. Sometimes that happens from sitting, things seem to dry out, i would try rocking it back and forth to try and free it up, you may also try changing the oil the new oil going in should lubricate things.Of course you said you have it runnings. That should have lubricated everything, but new oil might help.

  11. I do too Jen . Lithium Ion batteries are great for capacity and holding their charge; but they must be charged with chargers designed for them, not with ones for NiMH batteries. Another caution for Li ion ones is to keep them out of the sun where they could get overheated. Li FePO4 batteries used in solar systems and power stations are much safer than the older Li ion batteries but they still need to be charged with chargers designed to work with them, and they cannot be used for starting service as they are designed for a long draw at low amps (deep cycle) rather than the short heavy draw of a starting battery

  12. Grandpa's Brother cut the tip of his thumb off. Grandpa said his mother cleaned it up but it was bleeding bad. His mom, he always called her Mother, reach up inside the fireplace and came back with a hand full of black soot. She clasp it over the boys thumb and held it tight for a few minutes. Grandpa said when she took her hand away there was only a tiny drop of blood on his black thumb.

  17. My grandpa was a kid cutting corn to shock. If you do not know what that means I am sorry. He cut his cheek with the corn cutter. My great grandma, his mother, cleaned up the cut. Then holding the skin together, she took the membrane/skin from the inside of an egg and placed it over the cut. As the membrane dried it pulled the cut together. You cannot see the cut on Grandpa’s cheek. Goooood MOrning and Happy National Egg Day June 3rd America! Us girls have a natural affinity to EGGS....LOL

  23. My equipment is at my cottage that I am at when possible. So I don't like 120 vac trickle chargers due to potential fire hazard. Mike explorer suggested this solar charger as an Option. I like it.

  24. Yes you can just hook your jump starter box to the battery and crank it up. You can use a trickle charger on it ,leave it over night, if the battery is good will charge up. I have so much trouble withr these small batterys not lasting very long i have just been leaving the trickle charger on it when not in use. I usually use aa trickle charger that puts our 1.5 or 2 amp.

  28. I use Rockymontainatvmc.com, Motosport.com, and have used Partzilla a time or 2 for OEM parts. I use Amazon for aftermarket parts, mainly for the ease of returns if the parts dont work. The 3 sites i listed also sell aftermarket alternatives if you dont want to pay the OEM prices. I like Rock Auto also, order a lot from there, no interaction, no friendly emails, but they always do what they say they are going to do, never had a problem with any orders. Good luck with your Quad!

  29. Hey guys new to the forum and bored as hell with the mundane 9-5 planning on picking up a new scrambler 1000 or sportsman 1000 for me and my son to ride. My boy Jack is 5 years old and I was debating getting a touring edition with the back seat however i cant decide if its time to just get him his own quad or get the sportsman instead of the scrambler so i can put him on back. I am 37 years old bored as hell and looking to tear some sh** up! I have ridden glamis and a few other places when i used to live in AZ but now that i am home in NY NO ONE rides around here! Long island is extremely strict with this kind of thing which suuuucks! If there are clubs you can join or meetups please point me in the right direction thanks again!

  32. I don't go for the cheapest. I just got Geico on my two off roads and have off/on road on my Sandrail. Geico is 'Stand your Ground ' when people try to sue over BS. " Been there done that." But I am sure other good companies do the same and back their insured. BTW Insurance companies know more about you than the CIA. LOL

  39. Ok, update time. I finally got all the parts in (had to wait forever for the last O-ring to get shipped) and everything went together great! I used some silicone grease to hold the largest o-ring to the crankshaft opening while i assembled it so it would stop falling onto my garage floor. The oil seal is a bit tricky, if you push the spacer into it hap-hazardly you will knock out the spring retainer that holds the seal tight. I actually put the spacer into the retainer plate and then slid both on at the same time so that i knew the spring was good. 1x of the 2mm thick washers was needed to push the front sprocket outward for alignment to the rear sprocket.
