Glad to hear it! Good luck!

I can't remember off the top of my head, I'll look through my manual.

I believe its 59302 in the bottom right corner, appears to be splined. I took mine apart awhile back and my manual explained it very clearly. Though our two drive clutches are designed differently . But i think you're next best bet is going to be a service manual https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=mule+2500+service+manual&_sacat=0

My uncle has a Warn winch he used to have On his gas Yamaha golf cart, he said I could have it if I wanted it, I'm just not quite sure how to hook it up, wiring wise. I have no other electrical accessories that are tasking the alternator (15 amp) And I can still buy the OEM winch mount or fabricate one myself. The mule has 2 electrical accessories hook ups, but it's a fairly small wire, not sure if could handle the load.. I even though about welding up a plate as there is plenty of room to mount another battery for the winch only either under the bed or under the front dash/firewall. And using a deep cycle battery and keep it on a tender. A winch would come in handy for moving larger limbs or stumps or sections of a tree when I'm by myself. Any info how to proceed is appreciated. As most of you know, Mule 550, ksf300-c5.

check your oil level, be sure it isn't over the fill mark, or smells like gasoline.

Welcome!! I don't know much about the 4010, but the next best step is to get a Service manual. They're worth their weight in gold. here's 2, https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Service-Manual-Mule-4000-4000-Trans-Mule-4010-4010-Trans-2009-2020/313087423908?fits=Year:2012&hash=item48e576f5a4:g:XmEAAOSwGhBdXqGA&redirect=mobile www.ebay.com/Kawasaki-mule -4010-service -manual

if the alternator is not in plain view/belt driven, most likely there are copper windings behind the flywheel that produce current for charging.

Ah, you've got a good point there.... It seems to me I wouldn't want any wear particles being pushed back into bearing surfaces, only clean oil,... I guess the Engineers at Massimo know better than me.

I would think ,with that motor not having a filter, using a non detergent oil would be better, detergent oil holds the particles in suspension in the oil until it gets filtered out, usually engine's with out filters use a non detergent so the sediment and junk settled in the bottom of the oil pan/sump. Thoughts?

I see that the 700 has an Idle Air control valve...could be that, it happened on our car onetime, wouldn't idle,. i would locate it and see if there is way to test it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Idle-Air-Control-Valve-IAC-Delphi-Sensor-For-HiSUN-400-500-700-800-1000-UTV-/363085163926

Is the engine surging? RPM's Raise and Lower quickly?

One thing i forgot to mention. i saw alot of people mention to stay away from the Orange Dexcool coolant, specifically when using in ATV's or other small equipment.

Did a quick search for good coolants to use On Aluminum head engines, a lot people seemed to like Prestone green coolant. Or the Prestone 50/50 We run prestone in our 70HP tractor, Dodge farm truck, and any other liquid cooled engine.

Have you looked in your owners manual?

Looks like you've got a good thing going, a lot of service manuals for older machines (early 00's) are sometime hard to find in paper and having them online will be a great help to a lot of people. Good luck!

Amen to that, they're saying now it should make landfall as a Cat 5.. That's catastrophic.

So the high lifter spring will be replacing the stock shock/strut spring? in that case, i don't think there will be an issue.

Welcome to the UTV Board!!!

Do you have the 2015, 4010 TRANS 4X4 or the 4010 4X4? On kawasaki's website in the diagram it shows the strut, and then it shows a K30 spring as an ADD ON option. 45014 45014-0259 SHOCKABSORBER,RR 2 45023 45023-0005 STRUT 2 92075 92075-1784 DAMPER,SHOCKABSORBER 4 92144 92144-1919 SPRING,STRUT,K=30.7N/MM 2 (OPTION) Now if you have the plain 4010 4X4, the front suspension used a K 1.95 as the standard stock part, and the K30 as an option. 45014 45014-1435 SHOCKABSORBER,RR 2 45023 45023-1006 STRUT,FR,K=3.13 2 (OPTION) 45023A 45023-7503 STRUT,FR,K=1.95 2 92075 92075-1784 DAMPER,SHOCKABSORBER 4 92144 92144-1919 SPRING,STRUT,K=30.7N/MM (OPTION) If none of this helps you out, i would contact Kawasaki with your Model number (KAF-______) and also your V.I.N number and see if they can figure it out.

Not looking good at all for the folks of eastern Texas and West Louisiana.... Supposed to be a Cat 4 at landfall...

Update from the ABC weatherman,,

At least toilet paper isn't flying off the shelves , yet.

got a good Husqvarna 445 and plenty of mixed gasoline, and a 70 HP Kubota tractor with a front end loader and bucket, all the gasoline and diesel cans are full (hope there isn't a fire,lol) and plenty of loppers, we're on a water well. we've got alot of water drawn up anyway in 2 liter jugs and milk jugs, made sure the generator is running good. We've got quite a bit of canned food stored.... Got plenty of munitions as well heck, if the grocery store gets sold out, we've got Dove and some deer meat in the freezer 👍 We're kind of worried about the wind as we used to have nothing but trees for a few miles around us, but they cleared it all out and put a subdivision in across the road... Tree's are good windblocks, and there aren't as many around as there were in 2008 with ike.

Grimes county ( one county over from us) just issued a burn ban, it's pretty dry out west, we've been fortunate to get rain here. everything is still pretty green.

ABC 13 out of houston said Hurricane Laura track shifted West towards Galveston bay, which that usually puts a direct hit on us in Conroe. Said it could be a Cat 3 or higher by tomorrow night at landfall.
