Yeah, it helps when you drop the O-ring 15 times 🤣

Looks like a blast! I didnt realize how much sand is in Wyoming, is that near a lake or anything?

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.

Good Morning! Beautiful Tuesday after Memorial Day here in MI. Hope everyone had a great weekend! 😎

Here is the old plate, easier to see with it off the quad. It was barely hanging on 🫣

Ok, so after contacting 2 junk yards, scanning eBay, weighing my options, and reading the previously shared thread from this forum, I decided to buy the only available type of retainer plate and move forward. Retainer plate part number: 24751-35B10 (branded on part as S2B-35B1-RD) ordered from link below https://www.partzilla.com/product/suzuki/24751-35B10?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17883222394&gbraid=0AAAAADro4HsbmVHHTMFPG7M0M6QiIC6IH&gclid=CjwKCAjwqazPBhALEiwAOuXqdI1Cqfwv6ijcXwLtsuFOGwt4qMvNMgcmUNhCKUZ7o5VCGib2S2fpZhoCbTAQAvD_BwE&titan_sku=24751-35B10 It was delivered and as expected is unfortunately not for a model H. So i will be updating the required parts to make the quad a "not model H" 😄 After some thourough research, diagrams, parts lists, and back and forths, here is what I will be ordering to update the quad to the new retainer so no machining is required: (1x) 22mm ID x 2mm thick steel washer (7/8" ID will work, but couldnt easily find one that is 2mm / .08 inches thick, needed to space sprocket properly) (1x) 21mm ID 2.5mm width O-ring (1x) 71mm ID 2.65mm width O-ring (closest I could find to the required 71.9mm x 2.5mm) (1x) Oil Seal 40mm x 52mm x 8mm (1x) 6206 30mm Bore 62mm OD 16mm thick Bearing Going this route will make it easier to replace parts in the future by eliminating the obsolete Model H parts and also saves a lot of money not buying suzuki branded parts. Just use the info above for sizes. It took my cost from $107 suzuki cost to $37 and I was able to find it all on Amazon. I will also have extra O-rings since they come as a pack. I will update back when i have all the parts in hand 🫡

Crazy the amount of free therapy you get from these machines 😄 Good Morning Quad Crazy members!

Good morning er'body. Happy Taco Tuesday 🌮

Sounds like fun! 😅 They make everything more fun. Even chores.

Awesome man, Im glad you figured it out. Have fun on it and be safe!

So a quick update on this topic: I have replaced the front sprocket with a 12T, however the retainer plate is snapped in 4 pieces and is missing a few chunks that hold the bearing and seal in for the transmission 🫥 (#46 in the link shown below's diagram) So i will have to purchase a new old one. I found a few sites I can order them from, but I have heard people having to add a back plate and get it machined due to model year differences. Im trying to avoid this if I can. Has anyone had this issue or ordered a new retainer plate? Where did you order it from? How did it fit? I have read this post from 2021 where a member repaired their ride with an off year part and new bearings and spacers, so that gives me hope.

Its definitely not easy, it took me awhile to get the hang of reading them. It wasnt untill i did it for work that it finally clicked.

Gotcha, yeah hopefully those parts do it for you, if not just report back and we will take the next steps. Its fixable.

Today Michigan gets the rain, good morning QC members
