It's the one up front. I got the case off and the little triangle piece that goes on the adjuster fell off and I'm not sure which way it goes back on but I can find it on the drawings. Everything looks good under cover, very clean. The clutch will slip is turned against the motor compression so I assume it's bad.

I'm in the process of preparing to change the one way bearing on a 2003 Rancher 350. As some may remember I pulled the front cover on a 2004 450 Foreman to repair it's shifting problems so I know a little about how to get to the one way bearing on the Rancher. What I need advice on, is there any traps that I should be aware of when pulling the cover, parts falling off inside, springs ,etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Great idea, thanks.

I may try that. Mine is up on the lift right now, Thanks.

Good idea, I'll try it. It's getting better air is slowly coming back thru the master cylinder.

I probably need to tighten the shoes up a little, once I get where I can ride it, I think I can get the air out and get them adjusted properly.

toodeep, I agree with your idea, I have a lot going on with this thing. It's not rideable right now. I've got another thread coming up in a day or two.

The brake cylinders are moving on both sides and brakes work just not very strong. I do believe I still got some air, it may take me a while to get it all out. I will try both things shadetree and Goober suggested. We're getting closer.

Thanks to all you guys for the help. I used a little from all of your advice and found the problem, it was the banjo bolt at the end of the brake line on the right side, completely stopped up. trust me it took a while to open it up but I have fluid. I've adjusted the shoes up until they touch and I'm still having trouble building pressure at the handle. I've bled out two reservoirs of fluid so I don't believe it has air in the system. The brakes operate great but just haven't got any pedal so to speak. Any ideas? 

I will definitely look at all the lines going to the right side. I guess what I don’t understand is if I have blockage why can’t I build pressure? I know I have pressure to the left side every time I operate the handle I can hear the springs on my brake shoes expand as they should. That being said there is pressure to the t-block and pressure going out the left side of the t- block I will check if there is any pressure/fluid coming out the right side in  the morning.

Goober, I did disassemble the brake cylinders, they are freed up and operable. I can't get any fluid to the banjo bolt at the cylinders.

shadetree, I followed instructions and got the left side bled and working right. The right side won't work, I may have blockage on the right side but with blockage you would think it would build pressure. I don't know, but I will continue messing with it. Any more advice will be welcomed.

toodeep, thanks for the quick response. I pinched the line and it built pressure immediately. So I just need to pinch it enough to build pressure and let it off slowly. Not really sure how I get the pressure on down the line. I'm slow don't quit me now. 

I'm working on the front brakes of a 2003 Rancher 350. Brakes have not been used for years. I've got everything complete but can't get fluid out of the master cylinder and down to either bleeder port. MC seems to be pumping but not moving any fluid. I can put my finger over the pressure line hole and pump MC and can feel pressure on finger and even squirts when finger is removed slowly. I have had MC slow to build pressure, but this is ridicules. Maybe I'm not bleeding them right, it's been a while since I messed with front brakes. Any help would be appreciated. 

The guy sold it to one of his good friends. I should have pulled the trigger quicker but better safe than sorry. Thanks

Thanks jeepwn69, lots of good info.

Hey Guys, I have an opportunity to buy a 2005 Rincon 650 4x4, auto transmission, pretty clean, 2300 miles, 271 hours, garage kept. It has a rear axel going out, other than that pretty sound quad. My question is, does these things have a history of bad auto transmission like the early Rubicon. I'm scared to pull the trigger until I know a little more about it. All comments are welcome.

Thanks

I didn't know about them, I'll check them out I'm always needing hardware, Thanks.

I'm not with the quad very much it is not mine. I don't think there is anything to take a picture of it's all missing.

Thanks, it is a footshift and don't have a meter. A friend of mine bought this thing, gave way to much for it and it is patched up everywhere. All the fender stays and hardware on the whole thing is missing so he will be in the market to buy all those plus the inner fenders have big holes cut in them. On top of that the one way bearing on this on is bad also.

Does all 2003 ranchers have a meter. I'm not even convinced it's a rancher.

toodeep, that is impressive!!

I need some help identifying a Rancher year model, I think it is a 2003 but want to make sure. Here is the VIN number 478TE250934215918

bcsman, rest assured before I start that little job I'll be back for a refresher course.
