thank you trxpipuk !, lots of work goes into cleaning parts, but thats ok, its what I love to do :-).

I hope for your sake, this bumper bolts to the frame ?..if it does not ?, your going to pull the front rack apart !..lol. this model is NOT light by any means !!!. any winching much be done from the frame on this model.

please start a thread in the utility section, and we'll drop in, give you some pointers :-).

put a 3/16 steel plate across the frame tubes right in front of the fan, long x wide enough to allow the winch. I put a warn pro vantage 2500-s ( rope ), roller fairlead. I doubt you will find any new bumpers that fit on it ?. no one makes a winch plate that fits on this model, you must have it custom made/cut.

lol, yeah, found a brand new nos sending unit on ebay, 238.00 shipped..lol. he's a day late, and i'm a dollar short..lol.

welcome kool !.

welcome !.

here's some lower engine work going together.

I just want to add, please be very, VERY careful when prying in, and around old seal to get it removed ?, YOU DO NOT WANT TO NICK THE CASE RIGHT THERE , OR IT WILL LEAK EVEN WITH A NEW SEAL IN THERE !. other than this, great instructions !!!!.

once the motor is split, gutted, If they are really nasty with mud, grease, baked on red clay so to speak ( which most are ! ), I take a can of '' easy-off '' oven cleaner to them, best thing on the market that I have found that really works !. a little brushing here and there, rinse with water hose, presto, clean cases. but !!!!!!!!!!, it will turn the cases dark gray. soooooooo, I follow up with a buffing on my bench grinder that was a wire wheel on it, then I use a Dremel with a very small wire brush on it to get into the small places the large wire wheel can't reach. pretty simple. I will post a few pics later on today, so you can see how clean the cases turned out :-).

couple 100 on the '03, about 500-600 on my '89 trx350d.

welcome duck !.

all I need right now is the right side cover, the atv is pretty much whole. if I need any parts other than the side cover ?, my bud has that covered big time !..lol. been working with him for about 25-26 yrs ?, he's got a gold mine out at his place for me..lol. does not cost me anything cept to work it off, or free !..lol.

still cleaning the engine cases, been taking way too long, between this engine, and helping my bud at his place ?, i've been really tired, hours all messed up, I did get a little cleaning done on the cases today, I hope to start putting the lower engine back together soon !.

I run mudlite AT's, 6-ply rating, I dont do mud ( least not 4 ft deep ! ), I ride on gravel, sand, dirt, snow, just normal rides, I love them for my style of riding.
