https://blog.sidebysidestuff.com/cleaning-instructions-for-a-polycarbonate-utv-windshield81915/ the main thing on polycarbonate windshields (lexan, plexi) is be careful scrubbing it, it will scratch easily. (unless it has a hard coating)

they probably got payed extra to do that..

Just waiting on the slowest mail service in the planet now.... supposed to be delivered from Florida, saturday, then monday.. now tomorrow.

Probably not without some precision drilling.

Seems anymore, Besides American made, Japanese is equipment is the way to go, Kubota, Kawasaki, Honda etc. granted they have factories in china, but are built to industry standards.

Mine uses a camshaft driven pump with a spin on filter. Not sure why they would use a screen for the filter... My engine does have a screen in the bottom of the case where the pick up hole for the oil pump is. Sent from my LML212VL using Tapatalk

It's a pretty good oil, that's what i used in my Mule for years, but after i rebuilt it i use either. KTech or Valvoline. Sent from my LML212VL using Tapatalk

Probably Warren oil company, they produce and Brand tons of "Brands" for companies, such as SuperTech at Walmart. I know Citgo does a few also, Citgo manufacturers K-Tech for kawasaki engines. I don't think being a demonstrator model will have affect on oil color, as 14.6 hours is 14.6 hours. usually oil is just barely a darker, amber color.

40 KPH comes out to 24 MPH.

Oh, does this use a filter like these? Where you actually put it "in" the engine, and put the cap on over the end? Most likely those screws do need torqued, but usually both of them being snug should be adequate, might call or email Ode's and get a torque spec.

What's the End Cap on this machine?

i remember when hurricane Harvey hit here in 2017, bottled water prices went through the roof, mainly at convience stores.... makes it convenient for them to take your money,

Money has power.

I Price Checked at Babbitt's online, they want $82... and i've come to find their prices are always at least $20-30 less than my local dealership.

I know right! I need to start a career in that work

I'm glad i found the NOS $25 kawasaki gear on ebay, cause the dealer wants North of $85. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-NOS-OEM-Kawasaki-Starter-Drive-Clutch-Sub-Assembly-KAF300-Mule-13081-2164/273909912852?epid=1323748703&hash=item3fc64d9514:g:EOYAAOSwZoBdGB7C

that's all i could find. the starter brushes, and armature all looked good.

I thought about it, i looked at it, and is in better shape.. but not mint shape.. but that starter was already 5 years old, i'd hate for that one to give out in a few months... that bottom starter bolt is Heck to get to.

appears to be, it's definitely not as hard as the previous starter gear... oh well, what do you expect for $50. i also made sure the engine wasn't too hard to turn over... it's not. about like every other 9hp engine i've worked on.

AND THE SUSPECT IS..<DRUM ROLL> The CHEAP CHINESE STARTER GEAR. My dad helped me today, we tried lubing and cleaning, never worked, cleaned all the relay connections etc. then we installed the starter, hooked everything up. BUT left the starter un bolted, and sitting ontop of the engine (ran a alligator clip from the solenoid bolt to ground), it spun up every time, closer inspection the so called "steel" gear has kind of mushroomed on the end of the teeth. the flywheel teeth are good. so i guess the gear was hanging on the flywheel enough to not let the solenoid retract all the way and that's why tapping the starter, NOT the solenoid would work. i'm debating either filing them a bit, OR, i can purchase the OEM Kawasaki gear on ebay for 25 bucks. that gear should fit this starter as the starter is a copy of the original. that's what i'm hoping.

14.4 is plenty. usually as long as your at least 13 volts it idle, you're good. as a B&S Tech i know says, "the alternator is made for maintaining, not charging a dead battery"

I haven't had time to look at it, probably will tomorrow morning.

How can we know this is legit and not a scam?

Has everyone gotten their PRO's yet?
