Welcome!! I have an 87' lt230s and busted the cover last fall. I got it welded and it works perfectly... Good luck on getting one, check ebay! The bearing replacement isn't that difficult... I did the rear bearings in January. Good luck though!!!!

on ebay they are still $219. i work in a fabrication shop so gonna attempt it on my lunch breaks. i got the quad for free but had no cover so i have nothing to work from except the motor. i know it runs though as my buddy was using it all last summer. he just doesnt understand the words maintenance and chain guard. lol just have to make sure the magneto is perfectly aligned within the rotor. should be fun
