Thank you all for big welcome, not real sure how to reply to each reply except when I get an email. But thanks; I guess I sound like an idiot but I’ll figure it out

lol, no..your only an idiot if you dont learn from us ?, then we'll have to resort to drastic measures !..lol. dang glad your here pawpaw !!!.

Ok, here's before tear down pics of front diff, a pic of what a torn seal looks like, front diff ripped apart, and a few pics of the swing arms finally going back together. and some pics of rear brake area together. now I wait for my seals to come in, then put the front diff, front axle all back together :-).

Ahhh Shade , I always say " If God gives you lemons , then make lemon aid  " , he placed me in the swamp , don't want to ride on my lawn , so I am going to " send it "  ...... but all joking aside , since using a grease / mix , things have be good !!!   Maybe if all the atv'ers out there would switch over , there wouldn't  be a shortage of seals !!! 

or maybe, if honda would keep making seals and bearings for older atvs , then they would not be forcing us to buy newer machines huh ?..lol.

I had to fine tune mine , I was like in Mobile , Alabama first try !!!   I got in right on , which might not be a good thing ...LOL  --- just put in a new surveillance thingy this week , I new beam system that dings and flashes when some one breaks it  , loving it .... 

I dont worry about thieves around my house, with 12 camera's mounted all around my house ?, they wont step foot on my land without me seeing them.

Grease , seals , availability , diffs , makes me think of something that some  will take as VooDoo , I am always trying to learning something new every day , this  has been working for me ,  pump that diff full of grease and hub oil mix , the seals and  bearings  can go pass their normal life expectancy with a little help from grease ----  I can attest to less repairs and out of pocket seal cost expenditures  since I started packing ..... once you pack , you will never go back !!! LOL 

well bro, you ride in swamps !!!..lol., I do not, less wear for water, mud getting in where it should not. but..to each their own..right ? :-). my '89 trx350D foreman 4x4 still runs strong to this day, If a problem pops up on her ?, i'll jump on it, not leave it, so things get worse like some folks do. my rule of thumb is, if you take care of it ?, IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU !.

I listen mostly to new country these days, but many moons ago, I was into rock, classic rock, not much for head banging music. one song hits me hard today, '' God's Country ''..love it !!.

update: got my right side cover in today from goober ( thanks bro ! ), also got my swing arm bearings in, now I can get the front and rear swing arms installed. sheshh..i got so many parts to go through, get cleaned, painted, and back on this ole girl. I think waiting on parts is the hardest thing to do with this build !?!..lol.

My old Honda repair manual says to stick a match cover between the points on some models and a business card for valves. LOL

LOL the members map had you on the southern shore of Hudson Bay!  I think......I didn't verify that but it looked like Hudson bay. Well, I've always wanted to be up in your area as well. I  thought you were up around Lake Superior.

 

I can tell you right now, that members map DOES NOT put their dot where they really are ?. mine shows me about 8 miles SE of where I live !..lol. I guess for security reasons ??, fine by me though.

fish, most 2wd models never got mud flares, from what I know of ?, honda did not start putting flares on the trx300's until they made them 4wd models. great score !!!.

It is a bummer that simple parts like seals are becoming no longer available OEM ..... 

yeah fish, parts is one thing, but simple things like seals ?..come on !. its a challenge these days to find simple things like bearings and seals for sure.
