Just bought a Linhai 550 T-Boss UTV & had the DFK cab with heater fitted. It wasn't cheap but there are problems with it for those thinking of fitting. Firstly, the Linhai is basically the same as the Massimo. No rock sliders but i'm getting them made. I have the heater fitted but the gaps around the steering and numerous other places almost negate it's value. I have done a lot of insulating but the steering & pedal areas present a problem. The insulation is mostly on the roof and back of the cab to try to quieten the increase in noise. Also fitted rubber floor mats, the type you can trim to size, they do help. The cab itself has to fit onto round poles which presents problems and I have had to apply self adhesive door draught rubbers in numerous places. The washer/wiper works well but the motor & wiring look clumsy. The wing mirrors they fitted as part of the cab are next to useless, when I told them they said they had no plans to change so it looks like i'll have to.  I have kept the original 2 part opening windscreen and the door nets so in the summer I can be "Cool". ( and put the original mirrors back on. All in all with hindsight for the price I paid I wouldn't bother again, I would get one of those soft cabs for a 5th of the price & fit a Webesto or Ebespascher heater.

      I have a 2021 Massimo MXU 1000.  Last winter the front drive shaft sheared off inside the motor and it was cheaper to buy a new motor than to take it apart in order to remove the front drive shaft that was broken inside the case…
      Now it is running rich, seems to maybe be geared too high, does not accelerate well once you hit about 28mph.  I’ve replaced the O2 sensor.  MAF is next (I accidentally ordered the wrong one, but when I removed the old one you can clearly smell fuel).  
       I’m not a motorhead but I can turn a wrench.  Any ideas how to get this motor optimized?  The motor has about 300 miles on it.  I broke it in as recommended in the manual.

Is in inside pump housing?  Cant find any exploded diagrams that show it.. how to I remove it? any help would be appreciated

      Is there a code reader available for the Coleman UTV 400?  I tried using the HUD ECU Hacker software and cables/adapters but no luck OBD to delphi 6 pin and KKL VAG as well as ELM327.  Will not connect.  I was able to get it to connect randomly a couple of times, but haven't been able to since.  I was able to clear and read the codes briefly.  I'm aware of the Tiny Scan 301 but it doesn't seem to be readily available.  There's a few out there but they are expensive.

      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!
