Snapped Arctic Cat Rear Axle

Glad you got her going Rob.
Artic Cat makes some fine machines.

From the looks of the pics she gets a good workout..

Thanks Skip,
Yup, indeed she gets worked over.
Mostly work around the property but also for some fun too. She is a very nimble footed ATV and being a 250cc, she gets about everywhere. A great trail rider. The biggest thing is you just don't realize how much you use it until it's down. Then you miss it like crazy.

Rob,

Interesting discovery. Sounds like you have a brand new fourwheeler, now that it actually has fourwheel drive!!!!

I've also found that when RobJ gives advice, he's spot on. I'm one of his biggest fans. LOL

I think you're right Eddie.
I bought that thing used and you saw the photos of it. It was super clean. But I don't know if it had the broken axle then or not? Since I didn't have anything to compare to except the Jeep and Blazer, I figured it just lost traction. Well that's not the case now. That thing crawls right up the same slopes. So you are probably right about that...I got a brand new fourwheeler.

Glad you got it going!! Nothing like getting something broke going again. I get that feeling a lot around my BIL's place!!

BTW at the weekend place I use the ATV to hang Christmas lights. I have a multi mount winch I made and pull the boat out of the river. Most weekends I park my truck on Friday night and don't get back in it until Sunday. In the mean time I may have traveled 30-40 miles!! ATV miles.

Eddie...STOP IT!! I try to stick with the stuff I've done before. I can tell you how to tie a shoe lace.

PS Rob, didn't say how much the axles were. I guess $150+. They should be about the same as my Suzuki parts.
