 let me show you what this bad boy can do it. Welcome to another episode of titanium man garage and today we're gonna be working on a front differential on a 2004 Polaris 500 ATP. Story goes with this thing. I don't know the guy broke the front axle shaft so he's got nothing in here but the hub and that's gonna have to get fixed. I also found that when I put it in four-wheel drive the front wheel would just grab and it would jerk the handlebars out of my hand and just turn that way. Yeah I couldn't believe the guy wanted $2,800 for this thing. I have to go through the carb it only runs with the choke open. The throttle cable is kind of hanging up as you turn the handlebars the idle goes up the engine starts racing so I'm gonna have to replace that. Now let me start this up show you what it does. So that was almost ruling it out to be a ground issue. Differential does work but when I go in reverse it barely works so the fact that that axle shaft is snapped off on the other side kind of makes me wonder what's going on in that front differential. So I'm gonna start this thing up for you and show you what it does. Actually it looks like the front differential is good. It seems to be functioning properly so the only issue was the brake was seized and getting hung up on the hub and pulling the wheel to the left. So the only thing that was really going on is I probably need to change the differential fluid. The caliper is seized up so it was just hanging up right here and pulling the steering to the left which is actually good. The unfortunate part is I was actually looking forward to tearing apart this front differential. For the longest time you can get parts for them. Here's the front differential right here. So for the longest time you couldn't get parts for them unless you ordered the expensive Polaris parts and some of them are hard to get a hold of. I heard a lot of guys using John Deere parts the cage and the bearings. I also found out something interesting. So the part number on this differential is right up here. I think it's, I can't see it, but when I cross-reference the number I think the last four numbers were one four three three something like that. This is a Polaris 700 a 2002. That is a 2003 2004 early model 2004 build. It turns out the front differential is identical. So this is my my parts unit. It's basically I could take the front differential out of here out of the 700 it's 2002 and put it right in there and it would bolt right up everything would match up. So I'm going to change the front differential fluid and I'm also going to check my ground wires. One point it wouldn't go in four-wheel drive and reverse which would be a ground issue and sometimes it would. So I guess the only thing I have to get now is a axle shaft. Change the differential fluid and this thing should be good to go. You know I thought the differential at first was the brakes. The brakes are so crappy that I believe the piston in here is seized up and the brakes are actually grabbing while the wheel is spinning. So the wheel would spin it would hit a certain spot grab and jerk the wheel this way. So that's why I have the caliper off. Other than that it ain't a horrible shape. So I'm going to give that a shot see what happens. If it's the front differential and I have to replace it I will shoot another video on that. So hope you liked my quick tip of the day and like always till next time.
