Yesterday when I tried to take out my machine the right front hub was locked up. I put it in 4- wheel and then it clunked and spun just fine, any ideas?

Sounds like your brakes were stuck....My '01 Recon did the same thing,and it's 2 weeks old.It hasnt done it since.I was in DEEP water the day before,so that could be your case too??Later-

This is a common problem with the KQ. Usually happens after the quad has been unused for a few weeks. The front brakes lock and can be a real pain to release. Usually 4wd will pull it out but I've had a few times that it takes dif. lock to turn the locked wheel. Don't know of a good way to prevent this except to move the quad every few days. I know 3 people with KQ's and we all have this problem.

Actually Archer, it sounds like it was pretty damn cold there... Hence, water in the wheel was frozen... Maybe?
