Took the ATV out on Green Bay Sunday, was out 7.5 miles from shore and set up in the dark to catch some White Fish. As the sun came up I was staring at my fish locator and when I looked up this is what appeared on the canvas inside front wall of my shanty, what do you see?

I see a face of a person wearing a cowboy hat and a jacket with a high collar?

I took 3 pictures, texted them to the other 2 people with me and they told me to MOVE!!! I was obviously in someones spot!!!

It was gone about 3 minutes later as the sun angle changed. CREEPY

I snapped a wheel stud on the front of my 95 300 4x4. I ordered and received a new stud (7515523), but it doesn't fit.

I guess the OP that owned the atv before not only used the plastics from a 90 something 350L, but also the front hubs.

I'm now looking for a 7515330, but they no longer exist. Does anyone know if they subbed this part with another one or if anything else will fit?

I'd hate to have to pay the $30 with shipping they are looking for on ebay for a single bolt.

Has any body on here had to break down their motor yet on the bike. I want to get idea of how hard it will be to do.

Can you recommend any good brand names - for front axle's for 2009 Polaris 850 XP I have one making noise while turning !!

Thanks in advance !!

The 2018 Can-Am Maverick X3 X RC Turbo R and Polaris RZR XP 1000 Trails and Rocks Edition are a pair of rock crawling warriors. Let’s see how they compare…by the numbers.

The high-performance UTV scene has a lot of heavy hitters that inspire a serious aftermarket lineup of specialized parts to suit specific needs. From this, we get some amazing custom builds for things like desert running and playing in the mud. One area that has inspired a lot of innovative builds in rock crawling. These builds and the strong market for them was enough to inspire two of the biggest names in the business to produce factory-edition rock-crawling beasts ready to take on the most technical and challenging rides.

We love that never give up spirit!

Usually UTVs that are damaged as much as this one appears to be are left to be recovered by a tractor or immediately loaded onto a trailer. Not the case for this guy, as he was able to limp this Maverick X3 back to the pits. That is the power of persistence if we’ve ever seen it. It would have been interesting to see how he loaded it, though.

Okay, I need some tips, I never thought this would happen! Is this common?

Not sure what I was thinking, but I decided to put 12" wheels on the rear of my 325 Magnum. It came with 10" rears with the 4/4 bolt pattern. I wanted to change tires and get rid of the 489s that came on it. As I over thought the process, I decided to try to change the bolt pattern on the rear to the more common 4/156 which would allow me to use a 12" wheel since I had the stock steel wheels from my 600 sitting in the shop. I read about swapping the rear hub from an '03 Predator then adding spacers to make up the width difference. Used hubs are harder to find, but you can get them from Polaris for about $70 each. Add spacers for another $70 a pair.
I went back through the threads and found a forum member with the CAD drawings for a spacer/adapter. He was willing to share them and I have a good friend who is a tool maker who happens to have an end mill. He was going to have the time and likes a challenge so we made 2 sets. It was cheaper to buy the material stock in a 12" length instead of by the inch so I ended up with enough material to make the second pair. Material was just under $230 so the 4 adapters end up about $58 each. Add new wheel studs and 1/2" socket head bolts and nuts and the 2 complete sets are between $140 and $150 each. Labor and the machine time was free although I bought dinner for them.
The first photo is the way the machine started. It's an old photo when I had the plastics off, but you can see the deeper dish on the rear wheels.
The next photo is the adapter installed on the left rear. It's 2.5" thick so it makes up 5" of track width. The next two photos show the 25" tires which is up an inch from the stock. First is proof of concept with a set of OEMs from the 600 which are shot but showed me that they would fit and the machine could pull them. The next is the tires I finally decided on. This machine is mostly used around my property and maybe once a year on the trails so I went with this Sedona Coyote. They are 6 ply and only available in 2 sizes. 25" for ATVs and 27" for SxS machines but the retail price is less than $400 for a set. The last is the tread for the new tires.
The MOSE Magnum came with black wheels, so maybe this winter I will paint these.

Not sure why some of the photos uploaded sideways. They do end up right side up if you click on them though.
