well i got the first alfalfa cutting down early this week and got to play with the prowler raking today. this thing sure is easier to run than a bulky tractor. we have a few small one acre spots that its just easier to do with a prowler.
i think my dog had more fun than i did though lol.
I just walked around my shop, looked at the motor, felt the humidity and figured screw it I'm going back into the air conditioning! LOL Getting the motor buttoned back up and ready to drop back in!
All in all a good day! Managed to set the cylinder back on, torqued to 40 ft. lbs. didn't break anything! LOL I used Yamabond sealant to join the cases it is the 6D product that never hardens, Clean everything with carb cleaner, then hot soapy water then blow dry. Any machines surface is lightly oiled then wiped down. Reading the manual and they suggest a ring compressor or your fingers to feed the piston into the cylinder! Ain't never gonna happen with my old fingers! I use two studs to set the cylinder, both in the cylinder head bolt holes on the exhaust side. I made studs up out of 3/8 rod, then hand threaded them using a 10X1.25 die. The metric die on U.S. rod results in undersized threads but they are not under stress so they are fine for this purpose! This gives me a third hand!
And no strange looking parts left over! WTF! Now to get rid of the mangled stuff! Thought about putting the rod in my press, but didn't!
Motor cleaned up pretty good, almost a same to cover it!
Not much time left at all! been a long process! We overbuilt for this area, never thinking about selling! Ah well, we hag a ball building, lot of great memories and a chance to show our talents! Mama did all of the ceramic tile work! She also did much of the siding while I was working!
Just took the Prowler for a grocery run and may have slipped an adult beverage in the cart! Spend most of day getting some landscaping stuff and then doing a little prep work on the grandsons go kart tires for this weekend's race. I wonder if this tire prep would help side by sides with rock crawling, sure helps karts grip dirt. Got a new clutch coming Friday to put on.
Brings back memories! We used to soak tires down with gas, or alcohol to soften them up! To get some wedge in the carts, we would rack the frame! Karts have come a long ways since the 60's! Me Too! LOL
I haven't done anything but work the last 27 of 24 days at the plant. Mixed 12 hour shifts. Got off work at 1630 yesterday and I am now on V A C A T I O N! No real plans, just gonna work around the homestead, do a little camping, a few Prowler rides and lots of pool parties! Heat is gonna get real. High 90's starting tomorrow. Heat index expected to hit 110. Gonna be hot! Motor looks good, RD!
The BIL said it wasn't running very good last weekend. I couldn't get it to start when I got to the cabin, then I put GAS in it and used it to move a bunch of trailers around the property. Love the front hitch. Hopefully I get some trail time this week.
Anybody know of a dealer that stocks parts? I need a 36 tooth ring gear #1402-032. Every place I've checked is out of stock until Nov. Hoping that I don't have to wait that long.
Just purchased a 2017 artic cat prowler used. It runs great and have not had any issues shifting gears but sometimes when i hit the brakes there is a horrible grinding noise! It doesnt do it every time and doesnt seem to effect how it runs but it sounds terrible! Going to make sure all fluids...
So against my better judgement I bought a non running 2009 Prowler 700 XTX. The Previous owner had taken pretty good care of it but two weekends ago it quit running while hunting turkeys. He only used it once per year so he said he was moving onto to focus on horses and motor cycles. When I got...
I have a new to me, 2013 prowler 700 hdx and I am looking to replace the entire clutch assembly.
my questions are,
where do I buy aftermarket parts from? I have done some googling but I am not finding big web sites, most of them look low end and I question the integrity of them.
looking at...
Hi All. I am new here and new to owning a UTV. I just recently bought a 2012 Arctic Cat HDX 700. It is in rather good shape and just needed some TLC. I have noticed though that when I start off in reverse or H/L it seems like the brake is on initially. Is this common? Once you get going...
