Broken Brute
« on: July 19, 2009, 03:59:06 PM »
All right everyone.  I have some major issues.  Couldn't make it to any of the events down south this weekend due to work.  So I went up to Webster to their motocross and utility mud run that one of the guys from work talked me into.  Well it turned out that we had to do part of the motocross track wich consisted of about 10 woops and then into a mud pit and then through a pit of tires and mud and then over a set of table tops and then back around to the woops.

Anyways my balls grew bigger and my brains got smaller when I went out there after the Sport Quad A's got done.  One of my buddies was clearing the table tops with his Sporty.  So of course I think that I should be able to jump a 50 foot table top also.  Guess what.   Brutes are no meant to jump!  I got about 30 feet and hit the ramp of the second table top and busted my front differential and locked up the front tires.  Tell you what it's hard to stay on the back side of the handle bars when the front end locks up on you.

So if anybody knows anything about the front ends of these things all info is appreciated.  If anybody has an extra diff sitting around let me know.  Mine has pieces of metal sticking out of the rear stub on the diff.

I have the A-arms and axles out already and working towards figuring out how to get the front end out.

 :o  It could have been worse.  At least you walked away from it.  Now the real question is how far did you make it in the air?  ;D

that's a kawie weak spot.  Jumping in 4wd is no no on these.  Used  front diffs go for big money because of it.  I'll keep my eye out and let you know if I see any deals.  Sorry it happend but glad you are ok.
You're trapped in a room with a ferocious bear, a crazed lion, and a Patriots fan. You have a gun but only two bullets. What do you do?

I'm not going to make any promises.  Even if I get it fixed Kay is still pissed.  She thinks cause she pays for it and it's in her name that it's her Brute. :-\

Sounds like it's not as bad as it sounds.  Got one of the mechanics going through the diff on his own time to make sure nothing got into where the gears are.  I broke the piece the the 4 wheel drive actuator moves.  Looks like it'll be either a $70 some or $90 some part.  I can live with that.  Hopefully we can keep it under $250 when it's all said and done.  Talked to one of the parts guys and he said to take out the diff and put back in the book quotes like 7 1/2 hours at $70 an hour.  Glad I tore it out myself.  Hopefully I can put it back in ???
