This should be fun.
Yesterday while plowing the last snowfall we had, my ATV started acting weird. The steering would start jerking to one side. When I checked it out, I found that one of the front axles had a tear in the boot, and the CV joint was all dried out. No big deal, I thought. I'll just get a replacement, toss it in, and away I'll go.
After calling every Yamaha dealer in a 50 mile radius, I determined that there are *no* front left axles or CV joint kits available for my '05 Grizzly 660. After hearing "We can get you one by tomorrow afternoon for $350" for the 28th time, I hung up and ordered two new front axleshafts from Amazon for about $170. I figure they're equally old so doing one at a time would be a bit stupid.
Only issue is they're not going to be here until tomorrow, Friday.
Right now there's at least 3" of snow down and still falling. Current plan is to spray lube inside the boot, hope it holds and plow. My driveway is freakin' long. If I try to shovel it I'll likely disappear to be discovered when the snow finally melts away, probably some time in July.
Nothing every goes wrong when it's convenient.
