hi all....as u know I got a 05 trailblazer with a blown gearcase for a song(cracked frame must've misaligned the sprockets and broken the chain, which cracked the geaRcase) . My buddy is little miffed at me......hey I didnt know it was gonna be this easy to fix!!! I got sooo PO'd with him....u offer $400 to a complete stranger and then get mad because u let it go for song to your best friend of 20 years. I actually gave it and the cash back. He just had to pay for parts and welding!!! He turned it down. Anyway, i got the frame welded with a gusset for strength, bought a chain, some Polaris gear oil, starter solenoid and bolted in a used tranny from a 00 scrambler 2x4....$175, thank u. With some tips from "Old Polaris Tech" I was able to get it all together....all for under $450 including purchase. The kid who owned this thing before kicked the living Sh**** out of it, but it aint a bad bike at all!! Hey, guess who wants to come over to ride LOL....the bastard

 

BE NICE! The shoes could have been on the other foot! Love thy neighbor,BASTARD OR NOT! Slowly learning this myself after being in retail/service business for years! BUT good luck with your "new" machine. PLUS its not usually the sprockets that cause case breakage ,BUT loose,worn out chains that jump up and crack the cases, replace chain and sprockets and KEEP CHAIN ADJUSTED and lubed! OPT
