Have been playing around for forty years with the big gear , still have all my fingers and toes. Don't hear so good all the time. My wife tells me I have selective hearing. That being said I am enjoying starting the over haul on the old big bear, with my youngest. I think he enjoys spinning wrenches with his dad. He won't admit to it though. There I go off topic. Really like the pic of the finished rim though. Super job. Did you end up clear coating?

Not yet, been spending most of my time fixing my car.  The Rancher is just getting lonely sitting under a tarp.

Better to start right away before you get into daily slogging on it, that is unless you live in the north and have a heated work space.

Thanks for the tip err reminder actually!

The mileage is 2,311.  

Well, at the moment, it is not for sale especially at what I would consider a lowball offer but thanks for your input.

Thanks

The first picture is what came off of my rims.

As some of you know, I inherited a 2003 Honda Rancher ES TRX350FE and have spent some time cleaning, repairing, and performing maintenance on it.   I have yet to replace the broken breather tubes, but will get to that once I find a place that sells the tube in bulk.  I am waiting on a battery so I do not know the mileage or hours at the moment, but I know it runs well and starts right up.  It does need new tires though.

So anyways I am trying to value it for insurance.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Here are a few pictures .

That is almost what I ended up doing.  I washed, sand blasted, primed and painted.  For some reason I thought there was a special coating on the rims from the factory.

Ha. Nah.

I'm here to help, not do it for you.

OK, I'll type in a heading from the picture above: Differential /Final Gear Case Breather Hose.   Did that make it any easier for you?

These breather hoses just hang out in the grommet attached to the air intake duct, hooks to final drive, carb, and brake, and do not attach to anything on the other end. You might have already known that and I misinterpreted your question. Thats what mine does and it appears yours does also by looking at the diagram.

Sorry, but no I did not.  What is the purpose of these hoses if they do not connect to anything?  This is my first ATV/ATC/Motorcycle/Jet Ski etc.   I work on cars and a hose usually connects to something else aside from drains.

Pick one of these and tell me where both ends go.

What I need is ... pick a picture...tell me where the tubes go maybe on another picture.   90% of mine are rotted off at the junctures and ends.

The pictures above are out of three different manuals.  They easily show where each connection is, but not now they are connected together.

If you have a Japanese manual, please post it.

Slowly but surely finding more bits a pieces.  I now have about three different repair manuals for this quad.  Now to see if I can string together a diagram.

Good idea but wrong tubes.  I am referring to the about 1/8" tubes coming and going all over the place.

Almost all of the hoses are dry rotted and i have no idea where they go as they are all broken, disconnected and flailing about.  I just want to buy some hose and replace them.

I am in need of a breather tube diagram for my Rancher.  This picture is all I could find in the manual I have.     If you have the hose size and/or lengths needed that would be a bonus.

I have searched youtube and also looked at the manual.    It looks like I just pull the top center attached pin and lift and rotate clockwise.  Does that about cover it?  I just do not want to break anything.
