I have a 2003 500 HO sportsman and if I am in 4wd and go in reverse and then forward, once in a while the machine will pull hard to the right, I then have to take it out of four wheel drive and the problem seems to go away. Please note that I do not have a owners manual and perhaps I am not going in and out of four wheel drive properly?

Thanks for any help.

John

 

Nature of the beast,usually put it back in reverse and back up it will release.
Turned around right at the top of steep hill on my 500 once started back down and she did that,pulled me right up the bank on right side and layed her over on her side and my foot.Glad she stopped on her side and did not roll on over me.
That was 05 500 sportsman and it did it once in a while,got 05 700 efi and only did it once in 1yr,now got 06 800 with 120 miles and have not had it happen yet,of course not much steep hill riding yet.

 

Thanks, I appreciate your time on this matter.

keep on eye on your front gearcase, i had the same problem and when i took the gearcase apart and parts and pieces came out. the bushings and squirrel cage is crap and i now i am putting in an 05 front gearcsae if i can get one. good luck. hope its not the gearcase. dan-o fellow superintendent.

 

Diesel, thanks for your input on this matter I my take the front gearcase apart just to check it out. But thanks for your time. Are you a school superintendent? I am in New Jersey.

 

no a superintendent for a dedmolition contractor in detroit, michigan. i travel all over the place tearing down schools. just did one in Dayton, OH. for dayton public schools. our rolls are very much the same. you educate children, and i have adults that work for me that act like them.

 

YOu made me laugh on a day when I needed it.
