More help for a newbie please !

I am looking for a quad/blade to clear the snow this winter. I will also trail ride some.

I was looking at a new 450 HO, but a friend of my son has just decided to sell a 2004, or it may be an 09, I need to confirm which, 400 with winch and blade for $3500 (Canadian).

It looks in good shape overall, but needs a battery and winch switch. The odd thing I noticed was it has no Low Range gearing. I know it has been used to push snow in the past, but I wonder if the lack of low range will be a disadvantage.

Historically I have had awful luck with used vehicles. Thoughts about this one would be very helpful.

Thanks

Before saying this was not a fair fight, know that they had to use the 570 SP to try and get within $1,100 of the price for the Honda. The 450 would have given the Honda a better chance, but that would be a $3,500 difference in price. Think about that for a minute...

I went out riding in wet lands a few days ago and for the most part submerged my XMR. After cleaning and parking in my garage I noticed a puddle of fluid under the rear diff. Looks like it?s coming from the passenger side axle area. I know I?m going to most likely have to remove the axle now but was wondering if the leak could be due to sitting in water and maybe somehow thinning the oil out causing it to leak through the seals? Should I try draining and refilling the fluid first or just yank it out and inspect the axle seals?

Is one better than the other or needed at all? Ace

So I'm going to check out an '02 Magnum. Priced at $1500 and pics make it look like it is in good condition but needs new rear tires. My hesitation is that the speedometer does not work. I've read a lot about Polaris ATVs in which when the speedometer doesn't work it affects everything including the 4x4. Should I stay away from this machine? The seller claims the AWD works fine. I'm obviously going to go and ride it and kick the tires. Also, is replacing the speedometer a $500 service or more? Thanks for your input.

Can anybody that has a 550 tell me if their T-Map has a screw going thru the top ear ( the ear closest to center of bike ) securing it to engine? Polaris dealer does not show a screw in their diagram but they told me doesnt mean it didn't have one??? Any help wold be appreciated.

Thanks
