He broke it!
Customer called today, got a Polaris Magnum 500HDS thats fallen apart.
No problem, bring it in & we will see what we can do. Very unceremoniously delivered it in the front bucket of his loader. Sure enough, he has broken it! https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/atvconn...033b8750f3.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/atvconn...0fe55b3fde.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/atvconn...9ba3fec05e.jpg |
That's going to require a serious amount of duct tape.
|
Damn right! needs a bit more than a bit of T cut.. Priced up the parts & very near the value of the bike.. Make things worse, he had his own stolen so he borrowed this off his father in law....OOOOOOOO......
|
I believe you're right, that does look broken. I don't think you'll be able to buff that out.

I'm having a Hurricane Andrew flash back.. :) Back in 92 had a Grand Prairie Tx based company that had bought several Big Boss 6x6s bring me one that had been tossed around a bit when Andrew hit Florida. I tried to talk them out of trying to repair it and just buy a new one,but oh no,they wouldn't have it. Ended up costing almost as much as a new one when I got through. They hauled that blamed thing in 3 pieces. I feel your pain believe me I do.. :nod:

wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t broken this..... https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/atvconn...c95039351.jpeg
|
Nothing that new cases or a complete gear case assembly couldn't fix.. :) Sure does put a strain on the budget and a lot of times on family relations.That seemed to be the hardest part on borrowed machines. Plus I've had people try to get me in the middle of these type events and I learned real quick,stay neutral and out of it.Let em hash things out then get back to you on what they want to do..

Had part of the overhead console in my truck break. Took out a section of plastic. So I put duct tape across that and then filled it in with jb weld.
Can't see it, and it doesn't know it's broke any more. |
That's some Wiley Coyote stuff there!

Get this.... Chap had a walk around the field where it broke & came back with swinging arm bearings & adjuster bolts.. Says they should clean up so use them not new... Anyhow, got a new trans unit coming, not cheap & about to start stripping out the old one. Any hints, tips, things to look out for when removing the main axle shaft? all very much appreciated!

My guess he didnt spot the pin coming loose..
Anyway, thanks for the pic, my guess is take the axle tube off & drive the axle out the opposite way?.. Reckon i will find out soon enough! Oxy-Acetylene & a big hammer gets most things apart! |
Best I can remember is the drive shaft comes out the right side. It has a larger area on the drive shaft that butts against the case bearing.
|
Perfect!
will give it a whack & see what happens! :) |

Not even Gorilla tape can fix that.

That's way beyond vise grips, hammer, and duct tape. Good luck.

Decades ago my younger brother broke a ski in half on his snowmobile and did an endo when the back half of the ski dug in. He was okay but we both thought we were screwed. Fortunately my dad had a hatchet and black rebar wire in his snowmobile, that he used to make tree branch splints on both sides of the broken ski. My brother hung off the other side of the snowmobile and rode it all the way back to the cabin that way. Rebar tie wire is annealed to be be softer than regular wire. You can twist it and twist without breaking like other wires, but it does has it's limits. I carry some in the glove box of my truck and gave my friend some to carry in his ATV, which he used one time when I wasn't with him. He used a bunch to hold together another ATV with a broken tie rod, at least I think it was a tie rod that broke. Whatever it was that broke, our other friend was able to limp it back to camp, but they had to use all the wire to do it. No problem. I have a roll in my basement I used to restock them with. I bought hundreds of feet of it. |

That's when you need an ax and lots of strong wire or rope. Just cut a couple of limbs off a tree, and make a travois type of arrangement to keep the back end off the ground. Then let the front wheels drag you home. Native American Travois (Indian Drag Sleds for Dogs and Horses)
