How long is the "trip"? Take a tool set. Sockets, Screw drivers etc. First aid kit. Water ,snacks,. Extra fuel. maybe some extra oil too. If it all possible let someone know when you plan to return.

Could i borrow $20,500 from anybody? I'll pay it back within a couple of months, or years. 😁

Here's a review on the Ranger 1000 from ATV.com http://www.atv.com/manufacturer/polaris/2018-polaris-ranger-xp-1000-review maybe this can help

Man they abused that poor mule! Might find an answer on Here

Yeah, i've put everything just about new in there. Camshaft, Piston, new balancer, crank bearings etc.

I know, i just meant that as a joke Im sure it will be, a couple hundred bucks is a LOT cheaper than a new one!!!!!!

Oh, and guess where i found the part where is says to hone the cylinder? there was a * by the title of " Piston Installation" and I just saw it, it's in the back of the manual with all of the footnotes, i guess you call them. Not where you think it would've been on that page....

Thanks! A guy that goes to our church used to work in a machine shop, and he's got a hone with the stones, so he's going to come over in a few days and do it, and help me put every thing back in together and button it up (hopefully) What do you mean?

Hands down Kawasaki mule 610, good for hauling small trailers. New are around 7000. I personally havnt heard any bad comments Check out ATV.com UTV review website. Welcome to utvboard!

What kind of hone do you recommend? I've seen some that are expandable and use stones. and some that look like cotton balls on the end https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W80560-Piston-Cylinder/dp/B000N35LJE or you have some like this https://www.amazon.com/Research-FLEX-HONE-Cylinder-Abrasive-Diameter/dp/B002XUL1GW/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FTHTMYN6VMC0MGFZ52JE

Ordered a ring compressor, and they came with Ring pliers. Selling them since I already had some. asking they do fit the rings on my Mule 550, so might on most UTV's. 8.00 +shipping or best offer.

Is your son Okay? Glad everything held up good.

Thanks @Dan B

found this video. What do y'all think? Im not sure the cylinder is cast iron though. But it talks about honing it in the manual, so i assume so. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=honing+small+engine+cylinder#id=2&vid=fdeb0c82c4684f9742fd0c15febb1be2&action=click

Well, I'm kicking myself sideways,backways and upways right now. I found out in the manual that your supposed to hone the cylinder before re ringing the piston. So I gotta do that. But what's the difference between boring the cylinder and honing it? Some people say boring it makes the cylinder bigger etc. And some say honing does that. But i think honing it is just to remove minor scratches, right? And if i hone the cylinder, will that require oversize rings and piston? Thanks, T.

Cool! Look forward to it!

Welcome to the forum! First off, did you buy the lift for the bed, or did it come with it? More than likely a clicking noise, usually means a solenoid has gone bad and is not engaging properly. But i am not very familiar with the dump bed lift, and how it is set up. I will try to find some more information quickly.

On my Mule 550 they were LEFT handed. It's easy to find out 😝

I hate to say it, but have you contacted Cub cadet to see if there is a new improved replacement for it?

How long has the problem been "Occuring" ?

Good video, you just need a few jumping ramps!
