speedometer 3 wire sensor testing

The sensor has a positive, a negative ground and a sensor wire.
Checking with a meter, the positive wire has 8 volts to the ground wire
The sensor to ground has 3.75 volts.
Spinning the hub does not change the sensor voltage, so I am thinking the sensor is bad.
The sensor wires also test either open or millions of ohms with the meter.

Link describes how speed sensors work. The voltage should change when the hub spins.

Any thoughts?

What happens when using ATV and all the hub oil is gone?

Our 2000 Sportsman 500, I just put in new brakes and drained the hub oil.
One side hub had oil but it was low.
'Driver' side, there was no hub oil.
I pulled the plastic caps off, was difficult as rust was on the hub metal.
Cleaned all the rust away, refilled, and I don't see any leaks.
I never saw any oil leaks anywhere before I started the brake job, so if it leaked out, it was a long time ago. Front bearings seem tight and good, and the oil plug magnet had no metal shards on it.

The AWD also does not work, I did pull a wire plug running to the magnet and it has power when AWD switch is on and the light on the AWD switch comes on.

Does that mean the speedometer is ok?
The speedometer doesn't work, so need to check the 3 wire speed sensor.

What is a Yellow Moose 60″ 2566M snow plow worth?

It was used on our 2000 Sportsman 500 and is complete with it's bottom plate to attach to the sportsman.
So, plow, push tubes and attachment plate.

I tried selling this last spring on craigslist for a few hundred but it got little interest, partly because where we live in south east VA, it hardly snows here. Further west in the state get plenty of snow.

If I can't get what I think it's worth, it will just sit here in the shed.

1000 LTD Air Suspension Replacement

Hi guys, I'm a newbie here looking for some guidence.



I own a 2013 Outlander Max 1000 LTD. The compressor for my air suspension system is shot, and the dealer wants to charge me over $700 for a new compressor. I'm not going that route. What I'd like to do instead is remove the rear air shocks and replace them with some conventional heavy duty coil spring shocks. Anybody here ever done this or have any experience in this area? I'm looking for recommendations on the best shocks for this purpose. This machine gets used hard on the farm and carries some heavy loads. (That's probably what led to the death of my compressor! The air shocks never really gave me the kind of support I wanted.) So, can it be done? If so, who makes the best shocks for this job, and where is the cheapest place to buy them?


Thanks.
