i agree ^^^^ we have the same issue with turkey buzzards, and deer here now, (very well over populated) if you kill a buzzard...... and TWRA finds out ..... your fined... with the chance of jail time, plus your vehicle, atv, tractor weapons. etc etc ... can be taken! TWRA can take your property, and do what they wish, but when a new born calfs eyes are pecked out.... it's the farmers loss, same goes for deer. they destroy crops, if you kill one in your crop field, you have to let it lay (rot) and who suffers the over all loss ? farmers who are just trying to make a living enjoying what they chose for a profession whether it was a choice, or passed down from generations of family....personally, I'll kill them regardless of what the law says, and many other people also feel some critters need to be controlled..... it's really in the eyes who are effected IMO.... and that's how it should be..... those who go out just to kill animals.. well... there's something wrong with that, like i said before, it all depends on the situation...... and the MAN should go after the ones killing animals just to kill them, and not the ones protecting there own way of life..... as for animal rights activist ... KMA!!! and they beg for money ?? well let them and those idiot Hollywood actors pay.... where were the donations going anyways ?? who knows?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/28/us/lori-loughlin-prison-release/index.html this mullet head and her husband should still be locked up for the stunt they pulled..... ex animal right spokes person lori loughlin. in short thank goodness for legal hunters..... maybe i should think twice about killing a mound of fire ants. and land damaging dillas.... and farmers here should let wild hogs run wild ?

wow! yeah it's customized.... as for the price, i couldn't say.... but curious to what other custom mods you come accros. i would seek out @SlammedRanger

hello RK, welcome to ATVH.

right off hand ? maybe 15-20 minutes ? i did planter press wheel bushings, but i would store those in the freezer for weeks.... and use them as needed, my thinking is it wouldn't take long at all for that small bearing.

uh hu..nice score!. keep poping them off! (wink wink)

glad to help.... but first check the newly installed bearing for smooth rotation (with the tie rod ends off the yoke) IF ? you have to install a new bearing, (and I'm shocked no one thought of this) pop that new bearing in the freezer for a while and install it quickly.... the reason i bring up steel pipe is, you can cut that and make a bearing installing tool just for this job, and it won't cost you a thing, but just a bit of work.

i can't open the link, but is this like a lottery of some sort ? I've played the Tennessee lottery once, that was enough for me, ha! didn't win a darn thing.... story of my life, but i see the biggest payout (at the store i go to) was 5 grand, not too bad IMO ... but I'm not much of a gambler, chance... is just something i never was into, but some strike it big, you did Purdy good betting on horse races, or i believe i recall you did ? my older sister used to go to tunica ..... she just basically broke even, but her husband Ronnie .... made out well playing poker, and would usually come back with $1000 plus.... if i had to guess she just played slots.

20 grand ?? well.... i could.... how about advise instead ?? :) you'd be surprised at what you can score at a pawn shop (tools) have you any steel pipe around ? same diameter as the outer bearing race ?

@PROV that ones healthy! looks like, it might be ready to make a move on the camera man.

nah, not dumb.... not at at all, see it as a learning experience ;) when you remove the steering shaft, check the bearing for smooth rotation, before doing anything else, lets be sure installation could be the issue.

with the homemade fender flairs from the previous owner, I'd say he removed them from the stock flairs.

your welcome! glad to help.

no they do not go in the engine! not sure on your bike, looks like they might have something to do with holding the plastics on ?

a socket that fits the outer race, or cold chisel / hammer (strike the outer race only) and drive it in squarely. ^^^^^

no.... not without installing new tie rod / upper and lower ball joints, my best description would be a slightly snug steering, but not tight. on a 2wd.

no it's fine as is, but a coating on the out side of the bushing (between the clamp, and bushing, and the same on the inside shaft to bushing contact) but what you have is fine, it will never run shy of lube, that's forsure!

okay, if you didnt drive it in just using the outer race chances are the bearing was damaged. you don't need that much grease / lube on the upper steering stem bushing, but it will not hurt anything!

and you drove the new bearing in by the outer race and not the inner ? i would take the the tie rod ball joints back off the yoke and check again. thanks for the update.

yes sir! i spoke a few choice words when that sledge hammer made contact with my shin..... lol!

i hated to see you get rid of the first one you had, now that was a show room bike! sure enough a collectors dream, I'll have to look that thread back up. congrats on the sell.

sure glad to help.

try adding a tad bit of choke and see if it changes when you thumb the throttle.

more rain! good deal! glad to hear it's getting better up your way.

yeah, i read up on your other thread, keep us updated, and post some pics. https://atvhonda.com/topic/1540-steering-lower-bearing-300-fourtrax/?tab=comments#comment-47894

hope you all had a safe enjoyable Labor Day / weekend, i didn't get into much, just some outside chores, and grilled out a couple days... maybe steaks today ?
