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...

      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.
      Not sure what make/model to even look at.
       
      I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.
      I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.
       
       
      Thoughts?

      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!
