Has anyone connected the calipers on the rear axle together emer. to service to get more brake power on the rear axle.

I did that a couple of years ago. Works real good. I also added a second caliper to the fronts. The stock master cylinder handles them fine. Before doing this, I was always consicous of the brakwes being weak and knowing that on a steep down hill they would be questionable. Now, I don't ever think of brakes no more then you do in your car. They just work.

Here are some pics that show what I added to the front to use a second caliper.

I converted my front drive shaft to one piece of DOM tubing and eliminated the center support bearing and all u-joints. I put the front disk off a motorcycle with dual calipers on the drive shaft and use that for my parking brake. Much much stronger. It easily has as much if not more stopping power then the regular dual brake setup. It does require aligning the engine perfectly with the front differential (real easy) but I had to add a polyethylene support at the disk to eliminate vibration and calipers must be 180 degrees across from each other. Eliminated about 25 pounds in the process.

      Coleman 400 wiring help
      By Mitch13
      2022 Coleman 400 with 13 hours on the engine and the mice got to it. Every wire coming out of the steering column in one cluster has been eaten through. I tried reconnecting matching wire colors to each other and I get the left turn signal and hazards to work, nothing else. If I play around a bit I can get the horn to honk or headlights to come on but only when I connect them to the brown wire. Obviously I don't know what I am doing here. Does anyone have a picture of how these wires are connected when they are under the hood on the drivers side coming from the steering column?
      Gray - seems to carry power
      Brown - left turn signal
      Green with purple stripe - hazards?
      Pink with red stripe - horn?
      Green - head lights?
      Yellow - head lights?
      Yellow with red stripe?
      Blue?
      Dark green?
      There is also a bundle hanging under the hood not connected to anything green with yellow strip, brown and blue?
      Other than that issue, I am about ready to sell this for parts if you interested let me know.
      Thanks

      Landmaster 550 no front axle engagement
      By Bedlam
      Hello,
      I have a 2019 Landmaster 550 UTV. Its been running good until now. The front axle wont engage. Where I live the temps have been well below freezing. The UTV is stored in unheated garage. And even the bottles of stored windshield washer fluid are frozen solid. So I am thinking that the front axle gear oil might be VERY thick and now allowing it to engage. Off the front diff is a small gauge wire running up to a connector. I put a test lamp to one of the leads and with utv running and 4 wheel switch on there is no voltage. However if I shut it off and have the 4 wheel switch engaged. and the crank it to start again the light gets a signal. for a second or two. I have to jacked up on rear and front and sometime the front will cut in and spin a few revs but the drops off. 
      Im hoping that someone can explain how the front engages on the axle. I assumed there was a fork or something that was engaged with 12 volts. But this wire is very small .This unit doesn't have a central fuse panel but I believe I have checked all the fuses.
      Thanks in advance 
      Allan
