Looks like i'm going to have to buy a paper manual for my Mule now... since adobe flash player doesnt work anymore, i cant view my manual from the CD anymore, i was able to use it for awhile using the RunAsDate application, but now adobe  disappeared from the PC and i cannot reinstall it.

hope i can find a  paper manual.

The manual was a "flash" presentation?  HUH, usually they are just .PDF files. The real BS In all of this is that there is nothing inherently wrong with Flash, Adobe just decided they did not want to support it any longer, and MS and other being basically ass-wipes decided to not serve it up. And even if it does pose a security risk, isn't that my problem and decision to make?

So when you install it on your pc drive and go into the program folder, there are no PDFs? I agree with @cliffyk usually those installs bundle and serve PDFs via a flash built viewer, the actual files are pdf or images. 

If you zip it up and load it somewhere where I can extract it, happy to take a look and see if I can convert it to pdf.

Usually when i wanted to use it, i would put in the CD,  and click on CD drive folder, then click on start, i did find the files, or "pages"  are JPG files. .. i have no idea what those SWF files are, i can't open them.

The .swf files are "Shock Wave Flash", Adobe's original name for what became just "Flash". They likely just serve up the .jpg files in an indexed manner--I might be able to convert it to something else if you'd like top send me a copy of the CD...

Yeah, those are jpg files. If you upload them all via dropbox or google drive then share it, I can create  a pdf of all the images in order.  Sort that folder by file type and copy and paste all the JPG files only into a new folder (get all the pages). Then right click and compress that folder. Depending on the size, you can upload it here or to dropbox, google drive, or other. I have adobe acrobat and can create the pdf if you like.

Do you mean an electronic copy or a Physical copy..

Either way, my email server can handle pretty big files, if you could load it to an archive--or just let me know where they are if you do it as Alex suggested...

 Got it...

The .jpg files are "thumbnails" of the actual  page images in the .swf files. I'll have to do some research into how to batch convert the .swf images into something useful...

This is the page0002_s.jpg file (viewed with just a plain ol' Linux image viewer(:

Here's the page0002.swf  file (viewed with Celluloid, a Linux movie viewer):

I converted the .swf images to .png (Portable Network Graphics) images--you should be able to read those.They are in a 142 MB .zip file--I'll send you the download link in a PM so that my web server does not get inundated...

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Must have upgrades/spares?
      By MilSurpYinzer
      Hey all, I was just wondering what you guys consider a necessary upgrade or spare part to have or mod onto your machine.
      I'm going for a kind of shtf survival rig that's not going to be SUPER heavy and I'm looking at getting:
      A spare belt (I keep seeing this mentioned everywhere I look so it must be important)
      A spare tire and mount( So would I need a jack like one from an old jeep or something else?)
      Tire chains for the winter
      And maybe a cargo bed upgrade so things don't slide out.
      Bumpers because duh.
      I already installed high output lights and have a windshield, roof, back window, and winch. And I outfitted a Molle panel for the back of my passenger seat with extra supplies like food, first aid, and spare mags.
      Any advise on increasing durability, longevity, and having something on hand because it's absolutely necessary would be a plus.
      Thanks so much!

      How to make a commando transmission work in sand spider
      By Outlaw Redneck
      Hello all. I have a 2005 Joyner sand spider 650 with the dreaded broken output shaft on the transmission. I got ahold of a 2007 joyner commando 650 for cheap that had a bad motor but a good transmission. I got it because everything i read said that the transmission would work but it seems that it will not. Due to the commando being 4x4 it has a selectable locker and a small ring gear using a "idler" gear to turn the ring gear which make the output spin the wrong direction. Is there any way that I can make this thing work? I really dont want a commando,  I like the buggy but if the trans wont work then I can only put my motor in the commando. Any help would be appreciated. I have the ring gear from the original trans but the shaft is broken and the shaft from the commando wont fit the ring gear it doesn't appear.
