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!

 

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..

 

wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t broken this.....

 

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..

 

Duck tape isn't going to work. Gonna have to break out the JB Weld!!!

 

My friend works miracles with JB Weld, but even miracles have limits.

 

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.
