Default fyi scrambler rad motor

Just found a 1987 honda accord cooling fan motor bolts perfectly into the bracket on my 2000 scrammy. There is lots of these around. Work to hard for my money to give polaris 300 dollars for it.

all oem parts are outrangous prices so any cheap fix is a good fix.

took the scrambler for a ride and the honda rad motor works very well. Had to modify the fan blades and the wiring harness but it all looks factory. I realize I could have spent alot less than what polaris wants but this way it did not cost me a dime. lots of beer money for the weekend.

That's the kind of stuff we need, cheap alternatives to the pricey factory parts, even if it does need a little "tweaking", free or very cheap is great !! good find !

As long as it does no harm to the atv I like these ideas. Oem parts prices are getting outrageous.
