00 scrambler 4x4 locked up
Was trying to get to a remote lake with my scrambler and while trying to get thru some deep ruts from the bigger wheeled machines the front end locked up. Made a loud clunk. Was heavy on the throttle in awd mode. When it locked up it pulled the handle bars out of my hands and the front wheels turned all the way to the right. Got pulled out by one of the other guys and the quad worked good all the rest of the day as long as I didnt gas it too much in the severely blown out mud holes. Feel sorry for the snowmobilers who pay for these trails. Any Idea what this might be?

Here is a good link on your system. I had one sticking hub and just changing the hub fluid fixed it so try that first. http://www.atvtime.com/phpBB2/viewto...003&pc_t=12521
We do not care what how rough the trails conditions under 3ft of groom snow is like.
ATVing is a different sport, the rougher the tails the better. Unlike snowmobiling, ATVs have no trail fees even though they are the same trails.
My guess was cost saving, cheaper to make a single Hilliary with one plastic roller cage then two Hilliary's with two metal roller cages.

Even if the hubs are properly maintained (fluid changed at 50 hrs) the armature plates will eventually "magnetize" and can lock in awd even if in two wheel drive! I believe this is one of the main reasons the new atvs have the awd in the front gear case to eliminate this problem.

pulled right wheel off and cage is broken. armature plates are magnetized.Went to poo dealer to buy cage 140 smacaroos. yikes. brake pads and hub oil and there goes 300 dollars. My own fault should have changed the plates and oil when I bought the machine. Another lesson learned the hard way.
