Good luck with it. I am sure you can get it back going. Youtube has a video for that. Lol

You'll find so many uses for the front end loader you'll wonder how you ever managed with out it. Do your front axles a favor though and use something on the 3 point hitch as a ballast when doing loader work. A box blade or dedicated ballast box full of concrete, sand, or blocks.

that needle bearing sucks

Check the left rear axle bearing. My rancher did that last year. I thought it may be the hondamatic going bad. Just so happened to decide to take the rear axle out before tearing into the motor. Sure enough the bearing came out in pieces.

Welcome, let us know what year and model you have. Check to be sure all wire connectors are properly plugged in and your fuses are good. Some one with more knowledge will be along with more suggestions soon.

Rack is not too bad removing. like jeep said a few bolts on each side and it'll lift right off.

Glad you got it figured out. Look at power sports nation for used parts for your model. You'll be surprised at how much they have to offer. Also get a shindy rebuild kit for the carb. Stay away from the chinese garbage.

Check all of your connections to be sure they are clean and properly connected. Including ground. If all looks good you can cook your CDi box. I just recently did the cdi on a 88 300 and it worked. put cdi box in oven at 450 for 7 minutes. With plug facing up.

Well that sucks

Power sports nation has several fan control boxes for an 88. around $17 if I remember correctly. I did not see any cdi boxes though. My son has an 88 300 we just got running. I had to get a couple parts from there.

I may be wrong but I think I remember reading they used artic cat parts to build those.

Hey now, I can BS with the best of em

Lol you're a glutton for punishment. I say go with silver. But with that said I have black rims on my rancher.

Lol I may be able to stop in later tonight.

Welcome, great group of folks here. We'd love for you to share some of the mountain scenery with us.
