has anyone done this and if so what all parts are needed? any help would be great

 

if im not mistaken all 4x4 atvs have the front drive axle comeing out the front of the engine case. you would need 1 or 2 halfs of a 4x4 engine case plus the axle, diff, and drive shafts.

its rerally just cheeper to get a 4x4 ATV

 

i thought so but i already have this 4 wheeler since it was new and havent put a lot of time on it and i know where its been and i like the 300's you cant beat the reliability

 

you would have to find and buy 2 engine halfs, then take all the transmission gears, crank, and everything els inside your engine out and switch it to the new engine halfs. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] your looking at more work than a rebuild, plus anything that might go wrong.

IMO its not worth it, especially if you have a good running 2wd mechine to begin with

 

how bout the older 300fw style 4x4... it has external shafts and a diffrent swing arm differential..(the one coming from the motor
......i have one of theese and the front drive shaft dosnt come from the engine case http://www.powersportspro.com/...ewbybrand/7/Honda.aspx
.
the link is for a parts serch ....click atv/trx300fw 97 then look at the front drive blow aparts...but for the money needed to get the parts you could pick up a used 300 4x4 unless you find a cheap junker with the parts u need

 

It doesn't matter what year 300 it is the left crankcase is different between a 300 & a 300FW .. You can do it without changing the left crankcase but it is quite a bit of work building a spacer the exact thickness because if not right then over time the aluminum will crack .. You will still need to change the angle drive and alternator cover ..
