I have a 97 425 mag that I use for hunting. Yesterday while going through a swampy area to retrieve a deer I bogged down in the muck while going up a small incline. I noticed that my left front wheel was not turning. I had the atv in 4 wheel drive and the right front was loosing traction, had to use my winch to get.
I have never noticed this before. I have replaced all chains last year and even though it has some age on it the atv is well taken care of. What should I check first or is this normal, I seem to always remember all 4 wheels turning. I thought I had noticed this a few weeks back but did not think any thing else about it.

I do not hear any noises, popping or else when this happens. I did a couple of years ago break the front sprocket and damage the right front when the chain came off and got in a bind but that was fixed by my local dealer.

Thanks for any help

 

You prolly have a broken wire going down to that wheel. Fairly common.

 

it always will be common trust me once you learn how to fix it then there will be ease later on get familiar with your machine and it will go a long ways in keeping the upkeep

 

THANKS, That makes since I will check that out today.

 

Thanks Krank, I went out and looked at the left front and the first thing I saw was a broken wire.

THanks for the help!!!!!!!!!

 

i am gunna tell my friend cuz he is having the same problem.

 

i ridden a yamaha bigbear 400 2003 and an suzuki vinson 500 2001 and both quads quads only spun three tires do they come like that or are they bad

 

Your quads are built like that. Polaris's are built to turn all 4 wheels when the 4X4 is engaged. Yours are working fine.

 

that somthing was wrong wit them ok thanks (i have 2 2x3 isint that something

 

they are called 4 weel drive differential not lock only 3 weels turn what you do is play with your front brake handle wile iits turning it switches torch from the left wheel to the right trust me i work for polaris
