tinted my head lights, adding a No Toil filter thanks to the quad crazy contest. 03 air box & 03 prairie 650 frame with 3 stage automotive paint, this is my recent changes & other repainted parts.

Hooked the lights up and went for a test ride the headlights started flickering and the neutral light was flashing off and on Got home with it cut it off and later it wouldn't start. It turned out good the + cable was loose. Now for the newer pics I'am still not done.

Welcome to the site. It looks to be chinese my neighbor has a falcon 110 the motor pics looks the same as his similer to a Honda clone. His was fast like your saying but he trashed his very bad. I dont think a quads been made to this day tuff enuff for him. His was a Kauzuma I think but your frame looks different from his.

Thanks guys! Swampcat thanks for the info soldering the wires & heat shrink was the plan but I got some good news I was able to swap the wired part of my accuator with the one with the cut wires. The reason for this is my diff had locked in 4wd and would not come out and the metal block on my accuator was chewed up and the one I got when I bought the frame is in real good condition. So I got that done today, front brakes bleed and working & the floor boards done. My new seals & bumper bolts will be in tuesday got them order today. Lower front bumper sanded & painted.

Not too fast THERE 2 seals are leaking on the front diff. Always something going wrong looks like about $30 something for all the seals but first I'm going to make sure the diff works for some reason he cut the wires and the front accuator was one of them so I have to fix that first.

Forgot I almost pooped my pants I took the drain bolt out of the front diff and only had a few drops of oil drain out. Almost scared the crap out of me. Then I remembered I poured the oil out of the diff once I had it out of the quad Duh huh!!!!!! on me!

Hey guys as of around 7:40 pm today being thursday my quad started & I backed it up and went forward and once around the yard. I had some wiring problems to workout and now thats done. I for got I unpluged 2 wires when putting the exhuast on & I had to scrape some paint off where the grounds connect to the frame. Now to recheck all my bolts, nuts & hose clamps, cotter pins. Then put on the foot boards & plastics, skid plates. Still have the front bumper to sand and paint & later on the rims & plastics. Camara battery is charging!

I hope by the end of today it will be running swampcat it will get a test ride without the plastics. I might even video it. Belive it or not the steel or brass wheels is not working. so now I'm using a belt sander and it's working good but my hands have about had it.

I'm so close I'm sanding the rusty & pitted exhuast so I can repaint it with high temp header paint. Once it's done & back on the quad it will be ready start it up.

Morning all of QC. been working on the Prairie this morning.

great video!!!!!

Radiator & exhuast are the 2 biggest things left to do! Then all new fluids. then the test ride everything works like it should mount the plastic and have fun. I don't think I will ever want to do this again.

I hope I get to spend most of the day monday working on it. If so we will see what I can get done & what is left to do.

Have you done a review search on each company. Have you checked Moose utility division? I might be wrong but I would go with aluminum over HD plastic at least with the aluminum or steel you can bend it back in shape.

Looks good!

This is where I got too today on getting my quad back togather.

Good morning QC! I'am off to Copperhill, Tenn. so no working on the quad today.

I ran across this rear bag today at a store that gets their stuff form companies that has storm damage, or just going out of business. They had ones for the front, fenders & tanks as well. Heres the deal I paid $53.00 it was listed for $129.00

Update on the Prairie. Got the motor & swing-arm in the frame it will be monday before I'll have time to work on it again.
