New member with first atv!

Hi everyone, I am new here. I'm from south central Minnesota and recently purchased my first atv. The atv is a 1995 Polaris Sportsman 400 4x4. I'm slowly fixing some issues with it but it runs good and appears to be a nice overall machine. I will post my questions in the other forums.
Here's the rundown:
1995 Polaris Sportsman 400 4x4
2 stroke liquid cooled
2057 miles
appears stock but not sure

I'm looking forward to meet others online and maybe meet up in person. Thanks

Front diff oil capacity and armature plate questions

I have 2015 sportsman 1k. Spec for oil capacity is around 9 oz. And last time I had it apart to replace armature plate for 4wd kicking in in 2wd filled it with 9oz of on demand fluid. Went to change old again cause it was acting up again and when I pulled full plug half of the oil came out and could only get about 4 oz. Back in. Any one else have this issue or know why? Or have a problem with armature plates warping been through 3 of them and only last maybe 100 odd miles. Magnets are replacing not holding magnitisum and switch is good not leaking voltage to it.

2003 TB 250 rear shock

Have an 03 Trailblazer 250, rear shock is blown. Been looking everywhere for a replacement but I'm coming up empty. Can only find 16" eye to eye for the previous year models. Places that have the parts list/diagrams say that the shock is discontinued. Is there another machine that uses a 19" eye to eye rear shock that I can pull it from?

Newer model seat brackets.

I went to the dealer the other day and found myself looking at a new '18 570. I pulled the seat off and saw that the seat brackets that slide into the seat under the tank are different and seem to be a composite material and seem to be built a bit stronger. They also appear to be thicker to not allow as much seat movement. I looked up the part numbers and they are indeed different than my '14 570. I ordered some and will report back on what I find. I'm hoping that it will help with the seat gap and movement. I'm leery on the plastic/composite material in that heat.

P/N's are 5452276 and 5452277.

1993 2×4 250 trail boss

Hey guys, I bought this atv about a year ago, I rebuilt the carb, ran new lines and got tires for it. I also rebuilt the rear caliper and got new pads. Everything works great except my pvt belt keeps slipping. When I got the four wheeler, the pvt case had a big whole in the bottom, I felt underneath and my drive pulley is protruding through the case like something’s bent or crooked. Just confused why it slips though, nothing hits the belt or the pulleys. Give me your thoughts
