About a month ago I ran across a front plastic panel which came off it looked like a 60" flat panel TV. It was at a thrift store and I got it for $2. Whala, I had a windsheild. Iv'e posted pics. The lower side has a up slope to it's support frame. This is so my hinged hood will open without hitting. The windsheild is curved more at the bottom then the top. Curving it gives a nice flat undistorted looking screen as apposed to flat installations that always look warped. The other thing I think I'm finding is that a lot of the wind goes around to the sides. I haven't been out behind others kicking up dust but I hoping this will help keep the dust from curling back into the cab area from behind. We'll see. I do not hear any exrea wind noise from the wind hittig the windshield.

The plastic was flat and I just bowed it. I've included pics ( again not correctly) of the hood hinge. I used a stainless hinge I had around that had 3/4" legs on it but 1" legs would be better. I like a strap hinge as its the strongest way to go and it spreads any stresses over a much larger area. You have to use pan heads or counter sunk heads so the legs of the hinge can get close enough together. The hood support rod is a peice of 6061-T6 aluminum. this is quite strong and also springy. It's bowed so when I stow it, I just pull its end down against the crossing angle peice, flex it straight and tuck it behind the little tab I welded on.

If your looking for stainless continous hinge, call MSC supply. Their a huge company with a 4- 5 thousand page catalog. 1-800-645-7270.

      2022 Coleman outfitter 500 had a loud snap then a metallic grinding noise
      By Browner010
      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      By Farid
      Hey there,
      I’m trying to find a CVT (variator) for my Tracker Off Road 800SX Crew. Do you happen to have one, or know where I can get it?
      Also, if you’ve got any other parts for this model, I’d love to hear about them!
      Thanks a lot!
