Let us know what you find. I've had several times where things pointed to a bad ECU, and every time it's been a loose or dirty connection somewhere. I had fits with the wife's 420AT and no spark. @Melatv walked me through some troubleshooting and mine ended up being a bad connection at the fuel injection relay. It would click, but wasn't making a good connection.

I was joking Fish....because most of us completely ignore all the OSHA bs they float out.

What is this "OSHA" that you speak of?

Ah I gotcha. Didn't look closely and notice there's a receiver in the regular spot down below. Nice setup!

Looks good. Hypothetically, you could run wiring to the back and be able to winch yourself backwards if need be, provided that bracket is mounted to a sturdy enough spot.

This is what I did with the wife's 420AT. At that point I had sunk a ton of money into it, I know I won't ever sell it, and I've used the Fumoto valves with great success on several vehicles, AND the case would still hold a valve. https://www.hondaforeman.com/threads/oil-drain-plug-size.71918/post-3021473 The proper way to do it is the replace the case, and that's what I'd do were I doing it again now. As toodeep said, you don't have to split the crankcase on the 420AT to replace the area with the drain plug, so it's easier to do than it would be on a 420FM or ES. The skid plate hangs down enough to protect the fumoto, but I do have to remove the skid plate to get the valve open. I used loctite on the threads and lightly threaded it into the hole, and then let it dry before adding oil. Had to do the same thing on my old 93 Accord. Local shop stripped out the oil pan "Those threads just wear out over time.". They refused to fix it, so I used a Fumoto and loctite, let it sit overnight, and then drove the car another 150K before selling it. Never leaked a drop of oil and the Fumoto made oil changes so easy that I put them on all my cars.

Yeah I had a few people stop by the house Saturday. One wanted to borrow my boat and trailer. Water was over the road going to his duck club, and his boat was in the boat road going into the woods out there. I asked if he wanted the trolling motor and he said he wouldn't need it, just had to paddle across the flooded spot, already had his Foreman on the far side where he could ride it into where his boat was parked (think lots of high ground with flooded areas so getting to the actual duck woods required crossing several low spots) Then he came back and asked for the trolling motor...and a battery. Left again. Then he came back and wanted an outboard. Dragged out my old 6HP Evinrude and it fired right up, sent him off with that. Little while later he said the diaphram on the fuel pump was leaking and asked if I had an extra. I said "You're about the borrowingest SOB I've ever seen" (buddy from back to the time we were toddlers, so I expect it from him, and have a lot of fun giving him ! about it) @BASFNB's brother came by to get an extra rear basket I had at about the same time. At that point one of them said "Would have been a perfect day to ride". Was sunny and mid 60's here that day (Saturday). High yesterday was 35. If you don't like the weather around here, you just stick around, because it will surely change in a matter of hours.

Given the amount of beer we usually drink when riding, even the Hondas have too much power. Guy with some land close to us bought a big Renegade, moving up from a Rincon. He said he was down checking his hog traps, drinking beer, and got whisky throttle trying to get out of a hole and about ran over himself with it. Said it had too much power for him and he was sticking to his SxS from now on (also a Can Am)

"Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime." Lavrentiy Beria Around here things are still pretty lax. If you're crusing down the highway you're asking for trouble, but on the secondary roads and gravel they'll usually just warn you. This whole area is nothing but farming so lots of ATV's and SXS's running around that are ag related, so the idea here is to throw a shovel on your ride and if you get pulled over, they can't ticket you because you're "working on the farm" I illegally drive about 50 yards down my street to hit the farm, but after that I am on privately owned land for miles and miles, so thus far riding on the highways hasn't been an issue for me. Back during the flood of 2011 I did have to take the highway for 1/4 mile or so to go around a flooded ditch, and a sheriff lit us up and followed us into the pasture. We told him we were just going from one farm gate to the other and he said "Yall can't have those on the highway" and left it at that.

Welcome....even if you are riding those canned hams...LOL They seem to be taking over around here. The Honda dealership a little north of me has been selling Honda only since the late 70's, and they started carrying Can Am about 5-6 years ago, and IIRC they are now one of the biggest dealerships (by volume) in the country.

There is some little Faultline around here that might give me issues (New Madrid) lol Still chipping away at the shop. Waiting on dad to move his crap out of the way so I can pull the first four wheeler into the shop and start wrenching on it. Have been organizing my tools in the tool boxes and hauling a lot of crap off. My workbench is now cleaned off so I went ahead and tore into that MS 180 this morning. The side case was melted from someone running it with the brake on so I ordered a replacement from Hutzl and started on it. That’s far hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be. Baby woke up and was hungry so had to quit for the morning

I followed a thread on AR15.com where a guy built a whole new saw out of Hutzl parts. It took some finish work ok the parts, but it worked. In this case, saw was free, I have a good saw that size (346XP) so this will be a beater/loaner. Besides, all I needed was the crankcase 1/2 and a clutch

In the process of cleaning up my shop I rediscovered an MS180 a buddy gave me. He loaned it to someone and they ran it with the brake on and smoked the clutch and melted part of the crankcase. Have a replacement case and clutch from Hutzl. Need to get into it and see if I can get it going again

Going to get this crap out of the way. Some of Dad’s crap that’s encroaching. One thing I gotta figure out where to put my gas jugs. I had them stacked around a table saw that I’ve gotten rid of. Guess I’ll have to get some shelves

Got quite a bit done this morning. Worked 5A-10:30 other than a half hour or so to feed the kid.

I am digging this parts washer!

That 420AT motor is a lot different than the ES motors. It’s a DCT (dual clutch transmission). Runs on oil pressure. My suggestion is you tear the whole thing down. The transmission itself is gears, but there is a valve on the front of the motor that controls the shifting. @Melatv and @toodeep are pretty good with them, But honestly as bad shape as it sounds, I would tear it all the way down, clean it out, and inspect everything. I used a fuMoto valve in my wife’s 420AT to address the stripped drain plug. Took some work and really could only be done with the motor torn down to do it right. I have a thread with pics on the old board saved to my work computer. I can post it up next week

Kentskovers4u or something like that has good covers. Think he charges $17 or so for a 300 cover, including shipping. He’s on eBay.

Ride last April. I started floating and couldn’t turn, right front wheel grabbed that vine and over it went

Code 24 is shift motor control drive circuit. Download your factory service manual here, go to page 23-14 for a list of problem codes, and it will give you the page number to go to in order to troubleshoot the error code. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12hzs10L_Gwu0aVyp8vhmEXNdf2N2P7tk Use the 07-10 420 manual. Same as your 2013.

Powersportsnation asked if they could use my pic....

So you'd have to swap knuckles, hub/rotors, and CV's. Wonder if the newer CV stubs are the same size as the older machines? Even then, are they the same length as the older CVs? I'm guessing those sealed bigger bearings hold up a lot better though, correct?

So looked at the parts cross-reference. 05-11 Foreman wheel bearings are 30x54x24 14-up Foreman bearings 27x55x32 If I read bearings correctly, that means that the inner race on the bearing is smaller on the newer models, so the 05-11 Axles would be too big to fit through the bearing. The newer model bearings are also 1mm larger in outside diameter, and much thicker. That sound right? First number is inner race, second is outer race, and last number is thickness? I still think these knuckles would go on at the ball joints, but the CVs would have to be changed as well, and I'm not sure if the newer Foreman CV's would be the right length, OR if the newer style CV's would fit in the 05-11 Front diff. More than likely I'll just put new ball joints and bearings in them and sell them, and get some 05-11 knuckles. I will say that thicker bearing would probably last longer. That would be nice.

That $60 US or $60CAD? These taxes are getting out of hand. I've sent some stuff to Sam over the UK and if I sent it as a gift there weren't taxes charged....until suddenly they were. Anything over 39 British pounds now gets taxed, even if it's a gift. What I sent Sam I just arbitrarily put $50 as the value on it, not thinking it would even matter since it was clearly marked as a gift. That put it under a dollar over that 39 pound mark (at the exchange rate the day I checked) and they were going to nail him with a big tax.

Looks like $185 for that one @toodeep. Since you do it for a living makes sense to have one that size. How long have you had it? I don't mind paying up for good tools, as long as they'll last. https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Ultrasonic-Professional-Dentures-Instrument/dp/B07ZNT6QXQ?th=1
