Good luck Roger!

Well, UPS made me eat my words... Guess I'll finish school and start on that!

just got an update from amazon, Wheel bearings are supposed to be here this THURSDAY now! woo hoo!

i hear you never have to change the spark plugs on these new diesels!

My manual gives 1.2MM (47 thousandths) as the maximum service limit, for top ring and second ring, there is also the thickness of the ring to consider, Top and 2nd rings: 1.44 MM (57 thousandths), says to measure in several different places and if the measured value is smaller than the listed number to replace the rings. i know its a pain in the rear to do, but i would remove the engine and have a machine shop mic the cylinder to check for wear, because it is common for the cylinder to wear more than the rings. But that's totally up to you to decide as what you want to do. I can't argue with buying a new ring set and honing it.

I found 2 grease zerks I never knew it had,... They are On the front end, back side of where the tie rod comes from the steering, and it lubes the shaft that pivots the spindle and wheel to turn it.... And they are in the hardest place to see., Never mentioned in the owners or Service manual. wheel bearings are supposed to be delivered this Saturday.

I'm really surprised HiSun doesn't make the manual available, as HiSun makes their own engines... I even looked on eBay for a paper copy, nothing. The next best thing to do is contact Cub Cadet and see what they can do for you..

https://www.manualslib.com/products/Hisun-750utv-5544837.html If I remember correctly HiSun made the utv for Cub cadet, this covers everything, including periodic maintenance and repairs. I hope this helps.

I searched the internet for quite awhile and couldn't Find anything pertaining to the issue,I would go to HiSun's website And contact them. Is it manual engagement Or electric switch?

I think the cat is trying to find the Tail on the "Mule".

I was able to find the pivot works kit on Amazon for 32.99....I'll take it over Kawasaki's $25 per bearing. Expect a detailed write up on it soon! And I found something on the Mule I've never seen before.....

Plywood would be best... I've seen some people use those heavy moving blankets too.

I looked on the pivots works kit some more, and the kit is 42.00 for BOTH sides. so all 4 needed bearings and 2 seals....may go with that. Lifetime guarantee.

What a beauty! It will serve you well for many years to come.

I think the front wheel bearings need replaced. Lately i've noticed some noise from the front end while driving.. jacked it up and both sides have considerable play. The passenger side more so. Kawasaki 92045-1170 replaces the bearing. its 2 per hub. which is 4. it's 25 bucks PER BEARING. which is $100 and some change for both sides. Kawasaki lists that the bearing used is a 60/22 2RS ball bearing. i can find them anywhere from $5 to $10, BUT i question the quality, no country of origin is disclosed. Pivotworks.com has a front set but its $42 for each side. 42+42= 84, so thats better than 100..... any one ever bought anything from pivot works? I checked the local auto parts stores for the bearing but nada. https://houseofkawasaki.dealerspikeparts.com/oemparts/a/kaw/500b24b1f8700223e478dc0a/front-hubs-brakes http://www.pivotworks.com/ProductInfo.aspx?item_id=5819

That probably was a shadow I was seeing in the bore. I know what you mean with the bolts...sometimes people go crazy with those impact guns! If you need any specifications give me a holler and I can get 'em.

Welcome!!!!

Yeah the bore looks pretty good. The only thing i see is how dirty and slightly discolored.... When I took mine apart at 1300 hours, it was still shiny and clean. other than that I see no vertical score lines... If course a ring could be stuck if it is the rings causing the problem. The leakdown test will tell all.

Is the head still off the motor? you wouldn't mind posting a picture of the cylinder bore, would you?

Work smarter not harder!!

Be sure you're turning it the correct way, counter clockwise to loosen it. They are pretty tight from the factory! One way I do is with my ratchet or wrench, and get A hammer and hit the end the end of The tool with it,that usually gets it done.
