When comparing dump carts for ATVs, you mostly find steel carts out there from various online retailers and places like Sears and Home Depot. My first choice a few months back was going to be to pick up one of those steel carts for my ATV, but then I was able to get my hands on Quadboss's Swivel Dump Cart that has this hardened "Structual Foam" body that is rust proof. This dump cart came in a large box which I snapped a picture of below. The contents of the box were the dump body, 2 wheels, frame, trailing arm, and hardware & pins. I spread the items out and followed the easy to read instructions. They illustrated every pin, nut, and bolt size, so that you know exactly where they are supposed to go. The steel frame parts of this cart are heavy duty 11 gauge steel, and along with the 1 inch axle, the load capacity is able to be set at 1,250 lbs. Assembly was pretty simple and took about an hour all together. The longest part of the install was attaching the dump body to the frame with 10 bolts. It would probably go quicker with 2 people, one holding the dump body and feeding the bolts, and the other holding the frame, and screwing on the nuts on. Once that part was done, the rest was pretty easy. I was impressed with the fact that the wheels had grease fittings for the wheel bearings. Once it was all put together, attachment was easy to my ATV hitch receiver hole with a supplied pin. You can use a hitch ball, but it's not necessary. Now it was time to test this thing. I took it out of the garage and around the property, over some bumps and a hill or two. It was very stable empty, so then I decided to do some work to fill her up. It was a nice day finally, most all of the snow had melted, and it was time to lay into some yard work. I had planned to dig out some dirt from one area and transport it to an area where I needed some more soil. I pulled up next to my mound of dirt and started digging. I filled the cart up with two loads and dumped them both in the area that needed the dirt. Dumping it requires you to step on the release mechanism pedal that has anti-slip spikes, and lift up the cart. I suppose if you fill it up with overweight stuff, it's going to be a pain to lift it on your own. The dirt all came out except for the last 10% that I used my shovel to get out. The sloped rear on the dump is nice. Another nice feature is the swivel, which allows you to turn the dump up to 100 degrees before dumping. So that was pretty easy, so I decided to load some other things around the property, like rocks, brush, twigs, and branches. This is where the optional fence attachment would have come in handy. I may need to get that next. I'm still waiting to take it up on the trails. I highly suggest this dump for anyone looking for a high quality work horse of a dump, as an alternative to the traditional steel carts.

That's too bad...maybe you need a Doctor! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOVMraOHd0U]YouTube - Dr. Dre - I Need A Doctor (Explicit) ft. Eminem, Skylar Grey[/ame]

Try motosport, bikebandit, and motorcycle superstore.

The ride back was horrible...Soaked!

It is so sad to see on the news what is going on over there, it's just unreal. The earthquake triggering a tsunami is just a disaster...but these nuclear plants failing with explosions and leakage is just terrible. I just saw a news alert that workers are evacuating one of the damaged nuclear power plants right now. How much can one nation take? I just hope it doesn't turn into a Chernobyl situation for them and the world. Our hearts go out to them. On another note....I just got back from Hawaii 2 weeks ago, and to hear that they had a tsunami alert (thankfully did not amount to much) and rushed everyone up to the top floors of the hotel in Waikiki where my wife and I were staying, really made me think. Crazy how natural tragedies occur.

That sucks. I had a 2005 Suzuki King Quad 700, great machine. * Added manufacturer and issue into thread title.

You could ask the member in the thread below to see what they did: http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/arctic-cat-atv-forum/8176-2005-arctic-cat-400-carburetor-rebuild-kit.html But as DD said, try ebay or some online parts houses like bikebandit, motosport, etc...

Ok, I was going to merge them, but I we'll leave this thread as is.

Is this a continuation of this thread: http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/suzuki-atv-forum/9588-2003-suzuki-ltz-400-compression-problem.html ? * Added year, make, and model to thread title.

This is an older photo...but I always loved it. Straight up in the air after hitting the river bank trying to get over the crossing. The atv went straight up and this shot was caught before the flip back!

Depends on the backprsssure of the cobra muffler. You will need to check with them. Do they have a site? Congrats on the atv! * Added manufacturer to thread title.

Good luck! * Added manufacturer to thread title as per guidelines.

Has your issue been solved? * Added year and manufacturer to thread title.

Did you do a compression test, what were the readings? What year, make, and model is your atv?

Yep, that's what I heard. We did not have time to do it. We went out there with a group. Hopefully we will be able to get out there again down the road.
