One 1998 Quadrunner 250 4x4, two 90's King Quad 300's worth of parts. Fenders are garbage..

If it was my shop yeah I'd do it to. It doesn't look hard. Getting the 22 balls back in is the finicky part. Tge sub is an 05 air ride LT, fully loaded. Full time all wheel drive, with an LSD rear. Rides and drives like a Cadillac. Snow, mountains? Who cares let's go. Sure couldn't pay for the 90k new replacement. The only damage, and the repair is holding, after over 10,000 miles rolling down 91 acres of mountain with a 1000' drop over 36 trails. Put to work in 95 brand new. Amazing durability if you ask me. Got all the bolts out of the skid plates, patience grasshopper.

Oh and yeah already did the locker mod on the Quadrunner shifter assembly, super easy, and the start in any gear thing is easy peasy as well. I'll be adding some extra relays and switches for the planned lighting upgrade. Like a fella on another site said I'm going to look like a UFO going through the woods at night.

Yeah I dig the little wheels and they'd fit right in with the rest of my polishing stuff. As to fixing my own stuff, no way can I afford a shop to do much of anything. I just pulled a steering sector out of a 97 Silverado I bought as a parts truck. It had 99 Suburban written on it by the junkyard that sold it last, it's got more play in it than an elementary school playground. Now I can buy a kit and attempt the rebuild myself or go for a reconditioned, or new one. Kits like $60. Rebuilt $150 to $225. New 5 or 600. My garage is the yard, so I borrow floor space in my neighbors heated, concrete floored shop. It'll be reconditioned for me. I figure I could handle the rebuild but.. Only ride at the moment as Mama's Suburban is acting stupid. And I need it done in a day. Maybe this time I'll get the steering wheel pointed straight. Blasted shaft was a b.... I ain't splitting anything, if I can't get 1 of these 4 to act right, at least until warmer weather. The high mile machine is acting nice so far. Has what feels like good compression, rear wheels spin in first. Front wheels spin in 4wd. I can put it in all 3 ranges. Front diff spins in 4wd and first gear. No ugly sounds, case had nice black oil. Rear brake works, front brakes frozen, so what. Throttle and choke don't move, and the carb slide might be stuck. No problems, I'll finagle it. And if I get stuck I know y'all have my back. Jim

King Quad ready for a bath. A couple of hours work. So far I think I might have a good one. It spins in neutral and first. Front diff shifts and spins. So far no crazy noises.

Do I have to pull this car over you two? Don't make me stop!

Yall have a lot more knowledge about the subject than I do. The only crankshaft experience I have is with solid cranks. Now play nice fellas. I've yet to have split a case. Don't really want to start with one of these 3 foot long puppies. I will if I have to though. Probably will with the Quadrunner just to give it a go, knowing it won't be going back together. Then I can sell all the parts.

The length of daylight has a lot to do with the egg thang as well. 4 hen fruit today. I don't know why but im glad to see them start earning thier feed. I'm not hung on the cam specs, just seeing the difference is enough for me. 😀 I've not spent a penny yet so... A lotta looking and checking coming up. At least now I can get to them and move them by myself. At some point they went with bigger newer Quads. Eigers or King Quads and the old ones just got sat aside. The local Suzuki dealer did most of the maintenance so hopefully I'm moving forward.

File limits have dropped for me. Down to 85 KB. I can only get my pics down to around 1.5MB. Have the limits changed because I'm a free member? This is on posts. I made an album in the pics section and wasn't throttled so hard. Just wondering. Thanks, Jim

OK Quadrunner motor just sounds yucky turning it by hand. It's loosing it's bench spot to a King Quad. Drug it up today and got the other 3 where I can move them eaay.

Well that's what I meant to say. And yup races and lobes are in great shape. I've an Andrew's EV-27 cam for the old HD in the barn. Same profile with longer duration. Just like the 250S cam. That, with some carb mods really wakes the old EVO up. Looking forward to this build. I'll be talking with these guys for a carb kit, I used their kit on thlasy EVO I built. More grunts always a good thing. And as to eggs, had to switch from tractor supply feed to try and get them laying again. If you want to go down a conspiracy rat hole, research that a bit. https://www.6sigmajetkit.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAuefvBRDXARIsAFEOQ9FYzfql9qbgpfeUZnC1eXRdmuH7LOUvvZSe__yUWIK8yhbM57SIHGYaAsnaEALw_wcB

Yup. Outside for under inflation.

Hot tamale! New to me 230S cam, or why I can't leave the pole barn open. Thanks JustRandy. The dinosaurs dig holes in the gravel, dirt floor and take dust baths. This should wake up the KQ when I get too it.

Glad to hear you got it fingered out. You can buy that vacuum line by the foot at the auto parts store. Measure the nipple before you go. Don't ask me how I know. It may be less expensive

I just looked on ebay and found 2 for sale pretty quickly. The p/n's don't match the one you gave though. Arctic Cat says the 1502-172 replaces the 0502-042 which leads me to think it should work.

What brand? I'm leaning towards POR15. Not worried about pretty, so much as uniform.

Well I started this morning anyhow. Had to clear all the spikey crap out of the way. Everything will stab you in these thickets. One drug up and cut into rounds. Another ready to pull. This terrain is why I'm building these baby tractors.

For tools that put food on the table I've always gone with the best I can afford. Occasional use tools are often the lest expensive available. And Harbour Freight, and Northern Tool have impressed me.

It sucks when you can't trust a fart.

Would you ask the owner what product was used please? Dunh I reread your post and answered my own Question. Rhino liner is some serious stuff.

How'd you make out? It's always fun to resurrect old gear.
