I hope it isn’t so. Have had great service from my Coleman, past three years.

You maybe able to buy a few yards of good quality Naugahyde and cover you seat with it.

That sounds about right

Mine came with it. Its about 3-4 inches. A piece of threaded pipe, screwed into the housing. Raises the hole for the dipstick a few inches. Easy to see if you have it

That’s great news.

Check your coolant. Hopefully you don’t have motor oil in it.

Ok. A fellow named Motorcycle Dr recommended low range, unless running it fast on a street. I think his reasoning had to do with lubing the wet clutch. Since I normally run it under 20 mph on mostly farm fields, I normally run it in Low range. If I go out on the gravel road, where I’m going 30-35 mph, I put it in high. A friend had a 700 massimo (Hisun). He burned up his wet clutch in under 100 hours. He ran it hard, and most of the time in high range. I don’t know the truth, still learning. Don’t want to have to fix mine, I prefer using it! 😀

Thank you! Do you mostly run in low range, or high range?

I know, it’s crazy how much oil has gone up. I try to change at 50 hours. Since I use it on the farm, it’s normally in low range based on advice from the Motorcycle DR. I only run it in high range on the gravel road. I’ve been happy with mine, but I avoid beating it. It get plenty filthy. It squeaks, I need to check all the zerk fittings and grease it

Good information. Mine is 2019 model, and it came with the extension. I too use full synthetic 10-40 oil for wet clutch. you have a lot of miles on yours. Do you change oil based on hours or miles? I change based on hours. Thanks PS. Huge buck

Oil seemed thin in mine too. I changed it after break in period.

Thank you

Thank you

Where did you get the mat? I can’t locate the thread you mentioned. My Coleman (Hisun) 550 Outfitter is load, but so is my buddies new gasoline Kubota! He has to hear wear hearing protection too. Thanks

Did setting the timing work?

welcome home Nypto. I don’t know where big bend is but it sounds like you have a nice place. My 550 Coleman has really helped me get around. Had it almost three years, and it runs fine. I don’t intentionally run it in mud, and over junk. I’m getting too old for that. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours as I do mine.

I’ve had great luck with JB weld. I hope it holds for you, let us know

Make sure you buckle the seat belt, even if you don’t strap in, buckle the seat belt. Some of these have “safety”, that limits the engine unless the seat belts are buckled.

Motorcycle Doctor May have it

Thanks Greg. Good point. Local Tractor Supply carries the Hisun filters, so that’s what I use. I’ll have to look for the concave on them.

Hi. I believe the issue is the filter gasket. If I’m not mistaken these need a round gasket that comes in the Chinese (Hisun etc) filters, where many other oil filters have gaskets are flat and they leak.

Motorcycle Dr. May have them too

looks like this

Thanks Tejun. Is there a flow direction arrow on it? Coleman sent me one, but there not direction indicated on it.

Fully agree. Complete stop before you change range. Tejun: could you refresh us on where and what model fuel filter you bought? thanks again
