Default Quad Broke through the ice! and mud pics

Found some pics on my old camera from 4 years ago. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]





Muddy pond






About waist deep in parts!!







With full speed, my tires kept me a float! haha







Yeah... It took around two hours to clean!







The ice cracked and two of my wheels fell in...
I came back with a truck to tow it out, only to find it sunk...
apparently the water was around 5-7ft deep! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]







Random pic of my quad pulling my 2,700lb car with a 1000lb trailer!!
Notice squish of the back wheels !

I drove it down the road around 20mph, 3rd gear, couldn't really stop or turn though haha

I fell through the ice once. Went to the racks. Funny as hell at the time. Sucked to get all the water out of the oil.. Took a few oil changes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

That swamp sucks to get off of everything. The grass and muck make an awful combo. Especially if it freezes.

Nice pics!!

A golf course I used to work at had red version of your quad. A few hours on it and I had to have one. That thing was beast. We used it to pull a blower for leaf duty. I liked it best in the winter, you know to go check on things[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yup, and I couldn't pass it up this deal!
Bought it 5 years ago for $1,300!
From a farmer who originally bought it, stored it in his shed, used it maybe a few times each year. So it was mint!

Only problem was the electric starter didn't work. but the kick start did.
$30 on eBay for a refurb starter fixed that!

The stock tires still had the little nubs on it, but were dry rotted due to old age.

So I bought the largest rim and tire size that would fit on it.

$430 SHIPPED! on eBay.
26x12 ITP mudlite in the rear
26x10 ITP mudlite in the front
all mounted on ITP aluminum polished rims!

That's kinda how I got my 01 450es. Bought it about 5 months ago. Only had 61 miles on it. Got it and the plow for $3500. Bought it for work (snow plowing) and the wife's trail bike. The tires still have the ***** on them as well. Fortunately it was stored inside a heated shop. No dry rot. Though I want to put a better tire on it and the Rincon.

I had the same exact tire setup as you have on my 02 Arctic Cat. Will probably do the same again.
