Quadjunkie

Ok, I thought it might be the case. Thanks.

No I've been blowing it off.

My 04 450 ES is starting to act up when the outside temps drop. It's about 21 degrees now and I'm having trouble shifting into R. after the quad sits outside for a few hours.

Could it possibly be the angle sensor?

Thanks. I love the tires. The center caps are on back order. Kinda looks good with out them

Has anyone sat their quad on its back wheels to do work on the under carriage? 

I looked for an arrow on the tires but can't see one anywhere.

Do these 3 lines around the new tire make a difference? Are they supposed to match the tire on the other side? 

I just bought a 4 tire and rim package last week from Rockymountain. Couple of small hurdles but everything is good so far. I phoned them to order. They seem to be having a product shortage like everybody else.

My turn. AKATV plz send me your address. I have an 04 450 ES everything works but my screen is getting cloudy and I would like that replaced. Thanks.

Couple more questions about some other tire sets I'm looking at. What is a "swl" tire? And is anyone using radial tires?

Thanks.

Yikes that's pricey! 

 

You could probably go 27's on a 450.  I certainly wouldn't go bigger.  26's would be perfect. 

 

I'd ask some of the northern guys like @toodeep what tires to get since most of us Southerners have mud only year round and tend to stick to mud specific tires.

Is there someplace who has a cheaper set? Thanks.

Looks great. Doing that would be more work than I want to do I think. 

The plow is used on dirt roads, pavement and stone roads for plowing up to.... 3feet, this year.

I got the new tire bug. My tires are starting to leak and I'm bored with the gray oem rims. The oem size is 25x10-12 What size is max for the 450 es? I need to use this 450 as a snow plow too. I'm looking at these. Should I go bigger? Thanks.

Thanks Wilson. I see you guys got hit hard down south. Just think winter is half over.....

11 degrees here. Grabbed this shot from my front yard of the red sky over frozen Saratoga lake at 7 am. Supposed to get 3-6" of snow today and tomorrow. Looks like we could get more though.

It just  dropped to 16 here. I had a little time this morning and took my truck to the car wash.

It's 20 here,with a high of 25 today. Time to do inside projects!

33 and cloudy all next week.... Wish there was a foot of snow on the ground around me. I want to enjoy my snowmobiles ...

lol

Weather man says 1 to 3 inches today. Do I trust that? Hmmm.

Yup, orange one sucks but that other one looks like a keeper.

Ok, gotcha. Nice set up. I have used Sharkbites.  Think I have a makeshift Sharkbite tool too.

Had something odd happen last night, the rear access panel had been Jared loose, and 17 degrees, along with the north wind blowing the domestic water heat exchanger froze, even with the water faucet dripping! this is first year it's been this cold sence i had the new exchanger installed, this one doesnt work like the heat coil built into the furness, this one works when you actually use hot water, i had already planned for such an issue with a heat lamp mounted inside the back pump area, but the bulb had burned out (just my luck) i went replaced the bulb, and used a heat gun to thaw out the exchanger, so far so good, that would have been a nice chunk of change if i hadn't caught it in time. 

 

last night 17 for the high, with temps climbing this morning at the moment,  a warm (ha!) 25 degrees. 

I think there is a certain type of heat tape you can wrap around and plug in. Better then a light bulb in this case.

I've been digging out every day sense the 31" of snow we got. Note to self, start from the top and go down. Need to pull the snow off the roof the day of the storm not one or two days later when it's double the weight. 

We got up to two inches of rain coming with high winds tonight and tomorrow. 

There are days I just want to sell and rent a place...LOL.

🎄 everybody......
