We bought a Honda ATV TRX420TMD and unfortunately I do not know the year. I looked at the website I posted above, but cannot find this particular model for none of the years.
I have a strong feeling this model is from early 200's, before 2010.

I had a bit of trouble finding those diagrams myself, but eventually found the link; here it is:

From what I see it looks like the parts would fit,  I would be a little concerned about the quality of the oil filter and spark plug I like to put quality oil filters in my rigs.

Where do you get quality filters? Local dealer, or do you have another source willing to share?

Thanks!

Hm; so no need for expensive Honda approved oil?
How about oil filters? Any other place where to get them cheaper, or, is it a bad idea? I know in cars some filters, even brand names are awful and my mechanic said to be very careful which ones I use.

if anyone cares (which i doubt since its been 9 months since i posted this), i only spent $750 on the conversion overall. everything worked flawlessly first try. i used this honda to plow 30inches of snow from a steep 800ft driveway. never missed a beat.

 

it was WAY cheaper than selling my 2wd rancher at a big loss and buying a 4wd version. if you can turn a wrench this is not too difficult for you to do at home

I know this is an old post, but I too have the same 2W ATV and this would be so helpful for snowplowing, because with 2W drive you can forget about it.
Thanks for showing us the way, cost and pictures!

speed shifting can cause damage to cluthes and most of all damage to your clucth basket notch wear breaking of clutch basket ears if done repeatedly bent shifting forks it wont shift because clutches cant float/slide inside the basket.

Good to know!

I think this post should be unpinned. None of the links in the OP's post work being too old and deprecated...

If you're getting a new winch I'd recommend a Warn with a mount kit meant for the model you have. 

It will cost more but be worth it in the end.

Why would you recommend Warn over others? Quality/longevity? Or better performance for the dollar?

Curious if it indeed was the temp sensor @RpFarm25 ?

Bummer when someone posts a question and members take the time to reply and the OP never shows up again.
Thanks @Mech for posting so much on the forums and helping others out. I am new here but looking forward to peruse the forums here and there and learn how to better service my own ATV from other people's problems and solutions and perhaps with time and more experience contribute back.

Interesting and detailed thread. I learned some useful tips; thanks!

Yes it does, section 17.

Its also available here (paid aftermarket manual): https://www.emanualonline.com/powersports/atv/honda/rancher-series/rancher-420-models/trx420/honda-trx420-rancher-420-complete-workshop-service-repair-manual-2014-2015-emo-23801.html

That link unfortunately no longer works...

Thanks, very much appreciated

Hi,

New to ATV repair but willing to learn and get my hands dirty.

We start the atv and even with a good battery, it will drain it very quickly and eventually the atv shuts down. Checking the battery afterwards shows significant drain on it.

Would this be a shot alternator? Some electronics module?

Thank you kindly.  Just need to be pointed in the right direction and then with a repair manual will get to it.

Cheers
