This is 97 Mule 2500 I picked up dead as a doornail sitting for 3yrs. I cleaned the tank with Evaporust,replaced lines,fuel filter and pump, and rebuilt carb. It turns over and idle fine but wont move. Had a bad sound come from belt cover, removed cover and this is what I saw.

Please look at these pics and tell me how big of a problem I have............ Any thought, suggestions etc.... gladly accepted reply or email [email protected]

here is a youtube link , took the converter cover off here is a video :

XCYCLE,I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND HAVING BOTH DRIVE AND DRIVEN CONVERTORS OVERHAUED. PERSONALY, I DONT THINK YOU CAN SAVE THE DRIVE CONVERTOR BY WATCHING THE VIDEO. THE DRIVEN CONVERTOR IS OPEN WAY TOO MUCH FOR IDLE POSITION, THATS WHY BELT SEEMS WAY TO LONG. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thanks for reply . A few questions if you don't mind......

1) Am I correct by saying the driven clutch can be removed without special tools, just with a socket ?

2)The drive pulley requires a clutch puller to remove and that special tool, that looks like a long bolt , to remove it from engine shaft

3) Are the bolts on the drive and driven pulley loosened the normal way counter clockwise?Askin cause I watched a video of a Kaw. converter system being removed and it showed the drive pulley with reverse or left handed threads( loosened clockwise). The video was showing a brute force i think')

4) What could cause driven pulley to be open way to much at idle?

I am going to purchase a complete new drive pulley and see what the driven looks like when I take it off.

Another thing not shown in video is that when in gear if you try to give it gas the drive pulley actually moves out some.

Thanks again

SORRY, I MISSED THE REST. ON THE DRIVEN PULLEY, STAYING OPEN AT IDLE. YOU HAVE 2 BUSHINGS A SPRING AND SHOES THAT ARE MOST LIKELY WORN OUT. ALSO WHEN TORN DOWN, YOU NEED TO INSPECT THE SHIEVES TO SEE IF SMOOTH, WITH OUT WAVES IN THEM. ALSO INSPECT THE SHAFT THAT THE MOVABLE SHIEVE RIDES IN AND OUT ON FOR SMOOTHNESS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE DRIVE PULLEY MOVING " OUT " IT SHOULD BE MOVING IN? WHAT I DID SEE LOOKED SHOT THOUGH. GOOD LUCK.

      I have an Axis 500 4x4 UTV that I was given.  It looks like an almost new machine with 39 hrs on it however it was apparently under water from the hurricane . I have no spark at the plug. I have replaced the plug, the plug wire, & the stator so far. Can anyone advise me of what i need to check and or replace to get this thing running? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

      So I finally got my Quad Gear cab enclosure after waiting out the backorder for three months and to say it's been a huge disappointment is a pretty big understatement. I think mostly because I could make it work, if not for one major issue. The windshield is right next to impossible to see out of. It's a real headscratcher because the side and rear windows are okay. It's not high quality 30 or 40 gauge marine vinyl but I have Quad Gear's stand-alone winshield so I knew it wasn't the best in terms of visibility, but definitely doable for the price.  Incredibly, the side and rear windows of the cab eclosure are just as clear as the stand-alone windshield. And the windshield on the enclosure is like 50 percent worse than the stand-alone. It's the same company! I don't get it. If it had just been the rear windshield that was that bad I would have kept it. There are some creases and wrinkles here and there, but I've been using the stand-alone  windshield for the past three months so it's good enough not to have to shell out $600 plus for the stock hard windshield. I'd put visibility at about 65- 70 percent. The wife hates it though, which is a pretty big negative. In any case, my original plans were to have an upholsterer change the crappy vinyl out for the high quality stuff and I even sent it to a guy who ended up flaking out on me and refusing to do it. He said he didn't want to charge me $400 for something I paid $200 for.  Long story, short, I decided to return it and just get the insanely expensive Kawasaki enclosure next winter since the frigid temps here are about to start climbing in a couple weeks anyway. I first put it on just to see how it would look (I took pics of course) and found that it didnt even seal 100 percent and made it drafty inside the cab. So make that two major issues. At least with the stock enclosure everything will be top flight. Doors will be nice too.
