The era of mechanical differentials was real. Dear ATVC: I remember viewing parts-house schematics and finding a locking front differential that was engaged without any electrical element (wires, solenoid) involved. Not to be confused with the viscolok, this diff case showed a small lever that was activated by cable or rod. Is there or was […] More »

Technically a Kawasaki powered UTV. Dear ATVC: A few years ago my dad bought a Snapper Grounds Cruiser (model GC9520KW) from someone he knew.

Going nuclear. Dear ATVC: In February I purchased a brand new straight out of the create 2021 Kymco MXU 700I Euro. I jumped on it one afternoon and blasted down my street and back and my buddy did the same as he wanted to see how it ran. I heard and saw something quite disturbing […] More »
