  1. Hey all! I have a 2003 Honda foreman 450. I picked this up in Jan to use for plowing and it was already sagged in the right and since then I have replaced the shocks, tie rods (the right arm was bent and not installed properly) then it became very hard to turn so I replaced all ball joints as they were bad. After the ball joints it wants to pull to the right hard. I’ve checked they’re installed properly, I’ve pulled the entire front apart many times and inspected the arms for any issues, and I cannot seem to find any problems. Since then I’ve swapped tires and also check the pressures to make sure it’s not something obvious overlooked. This picture was taken yesterday, you can see the right is sagged and the wheel is cambered. The shocks are balanced but I might swap them anyway just to test side to side. I’ve also adjusted the toe and it helped with the pulling but it still will favor that direction. My next step is probably going to replace the wheel bearings but I didn’t know if anyone had any other input I’m missing? This has become my go to quad for trails and work so I’d like to get it fixed. Thanks in advance!
  2. The closest I was able to find is a 12c111 but it is a 7 hole slot. My yellow 450 has the 4slots and the red 400 I put these 6 holes on but the tires are wearing out and the one wheel is broken. I don’t think we will be a new tire beaded on it.
  3. Would anyone know what wheel this is? As far as I can find it’s an old stock but trying to see if I can find any used ones so I don’t have either mismatch or have to trash the whole set. The wheel that’s broken is a rear 4x110 lug 2+5 12” with 6 oval holes. Came off a foreman 450.
  4. Well I started in on the green 300 and I got everything pulled and ready to rebuild with a different case and I have discovered the difference between the 2wd and 4wd left crank cases. There is no bolt holes to mount the transfer case. So future reference there is a difference between the left crank cases.
  5. Yes, it’s called zenith blue but also known as the Robin egg blue. I’m really excited to restore it into a really clean quad.
  6. It’ll be mostly for looking but it’ll go on light rides (just not off-road scraping through trees) I have others for that. It won’t sit in the shop and rot haha might look into parades, shows, ect as we have family/friends with races cars, show cars, might just add it in haha.
  7. Well guys, this last week I helped a friend move to Montana and got an opportunity to run to Canada where I’ve been talking to a lady that had a ‘96 Zenith Blue 300fw. Everything happened to work out and I picked this sweet thing up to take home and restore it into a show quad. I’m planning to do a full restoration with painted racks, maybe frame (I’ll look better when I get home) but otherwise plastics are in almost perfect shape, runs, ect. Im debating on a 2” lift with 26 tires and aftermarket wheels. It currently has 25 with 12” wheels. Has a few seals leaking that’ll need replaced. Im very excited to ad this one into the forever collection.
  8. Ok that was where I was confused haha. They look exactly the same but the part numbers are different. Happy Easter!
  9. @Fishfiles not the covers! The actual engine crank case. See picture above of the broken crankcase left side where the return pin is supposed to be. I have to dismantle the entire engine and use a different left case to fix it but they’re saying between 2wd and 4wd is a different part number and I don’t know what the difference is, if i have all the 4wd parts to put back on is there a difference between the 11200-HC4-000 says it’s applicable on 2wd and 11200-HC5-020 that’s says it’s for 4wd. But I thought the engines cases themselves where pretty much the same?
  10. @Fishfiles here is the first post about the build and trying to figure out the difference between the actual crankcases.
  11. I have a duplicate post this one I was trying to delete. I’ll see if I can tag you into the correct one I had the back and forth about questions on the case haha.
  12. Hey fishfiles! I am talking about the actual crankcase not the cover. We’ve been back and forth trying to find if there’s a difference from the actual left crank case. I would already have the 4wd cover, gears, side drivetrain, ect to put back on the the actual case itself is broken where the return pin goes as shown in photo above.
  13. Same I could only edit not delete.
  14. Ok sorry for so many posts, I’m stuck in the car today and trying to finalize part order, looks like one case is 2wd and the other is 4wd however what is the difference? If I use the 4wd cover will it mount? I’ll keep searching my guess maybe something with the t-case mounting?
  15. Also does anyone know the difference between left crankcases? 11200-HC5-020 Looks like the part number that is called for but there’s a few 11200-HC4-000 cases I could get for a better price. Looks like that one goes to the older 2wd units but I thought other than the covers they were pretty interchangeable?
  16. This duplicated how do I delete one?
  17. Hello everyone! I just picked up a ‘94 non running 300 4x4 it was a good deal with a plow and spreader I couldn’t pass up even though I was concerned with both covers being off already. The guy couldn’t tell me much otherwise he supposedly got it in a bundle deal like that and he didn’t want anything to do with it. Well we took some guesses on what could be wrong and I suggested a shift issue since both sides were off. Well long story short, I have found the left case is actually broken at the gearshift return spring. This will be the first official disassemble and rebuild with a different left case so based on my overview in the manual I may need some special tools. Can someone verify which ones are actually needed and which ones I can maybe get away with not needing? I’ll probably be in the repair status for awhile so I’m not necessarily scared to buy a special Honda toolkit (if they have an overall kit would be great) Any advise would be awesome! Already plan to have a complete oil seal and gasket kits.

  19. Hey Derf! I used to be all over the little book cliffs, they were my back yard but last year I came over to the east side, gotta say it’s not as fun.
  20. Awesome! I have a google link with every manual to any Honda as well! But if it goes down or something that’ll be great to know. They are life savers on some of these builds. I’m starting to not like the idea of this hondamatic 500. I prefer my foot shifts but have a couple es that have been great so far. (One likes to double shift but we are used to it and adjust driving to it, dang rancher) it’s had to get a few sensors.
  21. I’m from Colorado, born and raised, been kinda all over the state.
  22. It might be contagious! I better stay in the shop! Haha
  23. I have a bit of a problem haha but I find good deals and fix them and fortunately but unfortunately they tend to stay around…. I like my reds and always tried to have a full red fleet haha but the yellow one won’t be going anywhere and only sell the tan 300 4x4 if I find a red replacement haha currently have a green 300 4wd that needs a left case. The two closest in the pic are the two I talked about. My gpa bought the 90 new.
  24. That is a speedo, although the clear plastic case is broken and I’m not sure if it works. Chasing a no spark that I’m thinking is cdi issues as all tests read proper. This one will be cool.
  25. That’s a tough one! It really depends what kind of driving. I grew up and since own a 1990 300 2wd that I’ve had many adventures with, it’s light enough to maneuver when stuck but also will go a lot of places and you can rip around drifting. So that one has a special place in my heart. However the 2003 450 I got for a decent price and it’s selectable 4wd and has been a beast to plow with, drag stuff but go zip down the road. So at the moment it might be those two because I’ve done more with them. The 4wd 300 is an ole faithful just struggled with deeper snow but never quits. I just recently found the 400 so I haven’t been able to do much with it but fix its shift bolt and go out the road. Could probably go on and on
