Hello all , I've been snooping around the site and it looks like fun so I decided I'd register.

My name is Mike and I have an addiction to atv's and diesel pickups (according to the wife):wink: I'm sure I'll meet other folks here with the same addiction:laugh:

Mostly on private property (family and friends) down around the Rolla Missouri area. We've been down to St.Joe state park near Farmington Missouri one time and it was a good place to ride. Hopefully we'll be going again soon. Although St.Joe isn't too far I wish we had something closer. It's been hard for me because I was raised in the country where there was plenty of room to ride without ever loading 'em up but lifes changes have landed me in the city.....oh well maybe someday I'll be back in the sticks where I belong.

O really My mom's grandparents lived there before they past away. My grandpa past away few months ago. We still got their house near Collinsville. Its like in the middle of maryville,troy, and cottonwood. It's like 2 miles from the new Walgreens going at where the old rib stack was going to troy.

Cleaning that house is hard man. 60 years of junk. they never thru away anything. I bet we only got it to 40 something years left. So far since few months ago when my grandpa dead we had about over 50 big black trash bags worth of stuff:aargh:

.

As for me I got a few places where we go trailing or mudding. Well 1 since I'm in the city no places to run around at. But we do have a good size farm down on *Old lemay ferry road* about 50 miles from STL Also we got are cousin's places.

Sometimes if we work on the atv we got down to my uncles. Since my aunt's day owns a softball field they have trails all back in the woods. They also got a long parking lot for those nice flatout runs.

.

and down in Sedgewickville,MO about 2 hours down from STL. Are cousin's hold a big mud runs few times a year.

Here's a link to some pics from few weeks ago down there.

They love the mud, trucks, and atvs. So sad/ and kool they even got a monster pinto mudder LOL...

To bad the tires were flat when i got there....

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?
      By BuckBilly
      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      Quest 500 (apparantly not the same as 650 according to manuals and photos)
      By marcosphoto
      Hi folks, a little disparity brought me to this forum.  To set the stage, I'm a 35 auto tech in the industry 37 years now.  Licensed motorcycle tech also, 20+ years.  I race superbike and motocross.  Always done most of my own standard work (outside of specific race machine works) including building my own race bike engines.  Now that skills are out of the way, onwards and upwards. 
      Helping a neighbor with his old quest 500, right front axle seal leak.  Well, looks like everything else - right?  Wrong!  Initially I noticed the CV joint was lacking large lands to place prybars on to pop it out, rather a thin shield like ring very close to the diff seal.  Knowing the ring appeared quite delicate, I only pried gently and the CV popped out.  However this is where things get weird.  Came out only around 7-9mm then hung up again, felt like the clip was catching inside the diff.  So spun and pulled, spun and pulled until I was blue in the face but no success getting it out.  Also while it was out, I could see that the delicate ring around the outer circumference of the joint was actually the sealing surface where the seal contacts, instead of the norm where the seal rubs inside the diff much deeper and stays cleaner.  I've never seen a joint like this, also the service manuals photos which apply to 650 also reflected a standard joint I am accustomed to rather than this one I was fighting with.  Rather than break something in the diff, I decided to stop while I was ahead and reassemble the machine before something broke.  (The joint would pop in and out of place easy enough, just wouldn't slide out further than 7-9mm).  While the joint was a little out and sealing surface exposed, I cleaned the seal and sealing surfaces clean as possible before putting back together.  Seems to be holding for now, but eventually I'm sure the leak will come back.  Any thoughts as to why that CV joint just refused to come all the way out?
