I have heard of people  cutting up cv-shafts to run threw the knuckles on their 300s so they could  run them 2 wheel drive --- at least on a 400/450 the frot drive shaft collar / coupler is removable , so  I would think you don't have to worry about dirt getting in unwanted places 

 

I'd say fix it right or buy a 2 wheel drive 

 

 

It is definitely going to get fixed right just trying to get going for this weekend. My son has been dying to get out.

No 

Even if I take the outboard cup off the cv shaft and put it back in the hub?

I finally got it all apart. I did have to pull the front diff out and it needs more work than I thought. Can I leave the front diff out and still ride?  Looking at it I don't see any harm just wanted someone's input. Obviously I won't have 4 wheel drive for the time being. 

Great thank you. Yes I'm definitely working on the front. I've soaked it in pentrating oil amd will try again to get it apart after work. I was trying to avoid pulling the front diff out but if I have to I will. I will follow up with the results. 

I'm new to the forum so forgive me is this has been asked. I have a 98 foreman 400 that I can not get the propeller shaft out of the front differential. I unbolted the diff and moved it forward and got the propeller shaft off the engine but it will not come out of the diff. What am I doing wrong? Any advise is appreciated.
