My main question deals with the front end. Has anyone attempted to put a Grizzley front differential (with diff lock) into a Kodiak. I know where a 2000 Grizzley is, or should be, quite banged up and insurance has paid off on it.
I would like to know if it is worth the time and effort to retrieve it for pieces. We're not talking anything cheap, 8 hour drive towing a trailer, 30 miles off the road on somewhat rough terrain. That is one way, then getting it out.
I would bring in some battery operated saw-alls and take it apart to get the other parts.
I love my 2000 Kodiak, I just want the diff lock and don't want to buy a new quad to get it.

Chappy

 

I know that the 2004 kodiak 450 has the same drive train as the grizzly,,,

I think you just made my day, month, maybe even year. Now I just need to let it snow enough to get the snowmachine back to it. Thanks for the info Camo!!

BTW,
Where in Ohio, I am originally from the Galion area. Northcentral, up by Mansfield and Bucyrus.

Gooo Bucks!!!!!!!

 

I have heard of Galion,,,, I live in Wintersville, not to far from the Ohio, West Virginia Line...

 

THis is a brochure for the 2004 Kodiak 450 see below:

Big Grizzly Features In a Downsized Package

You don't need to be the biggest bear in the woods to be one of the toughest.

Have a look at the Kodiak 450, American Hunter magazine's ATV of the Year. It packs many Grizzly 660 features under a two inch-lower seat, in a slightly shorter chassis - in a 50-pounds lighter, highly maneuverable package.

Otherwise, you're looking at a hairy bear indeed, powered by a brawny liquid-cooled engine working through our exclusive three-way On-Command® 4WD system and Ultramatic® transmission - the same transfer case and transmission we use in the Grizzly 660, which is the most advanced drive train in the industry.

 

grizzly 600 (2000) dont have a diff lock[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

hmmmm, good point. I will have to ask him what year it was. If it is a 2000, you are correct.

Go Buckeyes, we play galion as part of the NOL football league, only 15 mins from bucyrus here.

 

That's cool, haymaker. It is amazing how widespread these forums go.

BTW,
I talked to the guy who wrecked the Grizzley. I was wrong, it is a 2002 and definitely had front diff lock. Whew, now it might be worthwhile.

Won't be long before we get the sled out. We got 4 inches of snow here (low elevation) and prediction is for 4-8 more by morning............
Woohoooooo!!
