New way to get your cripple atv out of the bush with chainsaw

[kneedeepinsaws]

Long story short, rear wheel came off, couldn’t get it back on had to make it back to the staging area. cut a tree made a ski out of it and notched it so that the lower A arm boss fit nice and snug preventing it from flying off. In the beginning the wood ski had a ramp in the front
This pic was when we just about were back and made it to paved road, the ski got too thin just after this photo but I was close enough to get the truck and trailer at that point

Moral of the story is make sure you torque your axel nuts!!! And check them before each ride

Yep, duct tape and a Swiss army knife.

Had to do something similar a few years back. All four studs snapped off my buddies hub. At least we had a lot of snow to ride on

 

[Mastermind]

Smart.

Very smart.

Why don't you just make a spare wooden wheel til you get a Polaris? Why waste a cookie when you can drill the holes for lugs at the shop. Good job!

Yep, my family has run the piss out of a 2000 Honda Foreman both ripping around the yard and skidding logs/brush piles, the only time it’s ever had any issue was when my brother jumped it way too many times and the repeated impacts tore the computer off of the wiring harness and fubared the plug wiring, which made it run screwy until we figured out the issue. I’ve dragged 10-15 foot pine logs with it, limb stacks as large as the quad, a couple hundred lbs of firewood in a trailer, I’ve even pulled a Suzuki Samurai up a hill with it and it’s never had any mechanical failures. Sheared studs? Torquing axle nuts before each ride? WTF is wrong with other atvs?

This has to be a joke! Yamaha or Honda....Suzuki ain't bad either

Same with the ATCs and old fourtrax. Absolutely bullet proof. Japs nailed reliability with those bikes
