We have a trooper 1100.... New to this UTV thing. It's used and we are trying to fix it up. It's missing 3rd and 4th gear (manual). It will go into the gear but the gears do not engage. Also the ignition key switch just crapped out.....usually have to tap the solenoid anyway to get it started (needs new starter) Overall, having one hell of a time trying to find parts. Can anyone help or point in the right direction?

Welcome to the forum!

I would advise that you have the stock starter rebuilt. An aftermarket starter isn't as solid as the one that typically comes in a machine from the factory.  And the rebuild is significantly cheaper than a new OEM quality starter. Plus the fact that it's absolutely guaranteed to fit perfectly. 

The ignition switch is an easy test, and should be an easy replacement. 

The transmission sounds like the hardest part. And will probably have to come out. Check the linkage on the outside of the transmission first, as it's possible that something came apart there on the outside. To get a look at the inside.  There's probably an inspection plate, but unless it's a slipped pin or something easy. It'll have to be out for disassembly. Which would be necessary if it's a broken tooth on a gear. But that seems unlikely,  since it's two gears that're affected. Transmissions aren't complicated, and they're pretty generic in their construction. So any transmission shop could do the work. If you don't have the skill, or confidence to tackle it.

 

But you'd probably have to take it in completely removed from the vehicle. Do not take it apart unless you are going to fix it.  Transmission shops charge a premium, if it comes in disassembled. Drain it , and open up the inspection plate, and look inside first. Like I said, it might just be a pin has fallen out. Pay close attention to the shifting forks, as it sounds a bit like it might be the problem. 

Parts will likely be hard to find. But that's not to say impossible. Travis is very resourceful in finding those hard to find parts.

I just purchased a starter for $168. The way I found it was by doing a Google search for the part number that is in the parts manual. I also found a fuel pump this way. The starter I purchased claims to be a newer improved version of starter vs. the original. I will be installing it tomorrow.

Glad you got that part worked out. About that ignition switch test. There's probably a YouTube on it. They all pretty much test the same way. Just takes a multi meter. And you test each position for continuity.

You could just replace it, but only if you're absolutely certain that it's bad. Every time I think that I have a bad switch. It always turns out to be something else.

      Anyone know anything about the Massimo Warrior 1000 MXD Crew UTV? I like the look but don't know anyone that owns one. All feedback is appreciated.

      Hello! I picked up a Facebook especial and was curious if I could get some help identifying what exactly it is. It was labeled as a Mossimo 500, but I can't confirm that. The closest I've seen is a Hisun Supermach 500. I bought it as a project but without knowing exactly what it is and the year it's hard to buy parts for it.
      What I do know is that it has the Hisun 500cc carbureted engine, and I can share the VIN if that helps.
      Here are some photos
       
      Thanks in advance

      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!
