Oh, gee.
The rear axle on the ATV broke today. So now it's stranded out in the wood ,albeit not that far from the cottage, and we don't know how to get it home. We have an idea but we're not sure it'll work

Put it in neutral and drag it I guess?
mirocu
Jan 5 2023, 06:51 PM
The axle took a dive into the dirt so dragging it or towing doesn't work. Also, we're carrying timber and we can't really detach the trailer because of the setup. We'll try to tie the axle onto the ATV somehow and with the aid of the trailer's own 4WD system get it home. Hopefully it'll work.

Also, changed my tap filter today. Think it was needed

I'd say so. Ew.

To be fair that prefilter turns brown relatively quickly although this is a kind of a new look to me. I have had it for a bit longer than I should I think. It lasts for anywhere between 6-12 months (or 7000 liters) but I did have it for a couple more months.
It does show though that tap water here isn't as clean as you think

It would be more worrying if you put in the brown one and the water bleached it white.

Just went for a drive in the dark to test out my new lights. Hard to tell with so much snow as it reflects pretty good and thus I have good visibility with just the ramp. But I couldn't see the new lights hitting high or low so I think they're pretty much centered where I want them.
Anyway; snow plowing again tomorrow and hopefully we'll get the ATV home but I'm sceptical.

Getting the ATV home is something Dad and I just can't do. Everything we tried proved fruitless, we don't even know who to ask for help at this point.

So besides it having a broken axle, is it stuck in mud or anything?
mirocu
Jan 7 2023, 03:43 PM
Not mud byt the axle is pointing down into the dirt. The ATV is also at the bottom of a hill and with two sharp turns.

Must be very loose dirt and steep incline to disable an ATV

We tried using the wire on the tractor but unfortunately the brake doesn't hold anymore. We can lift it up but it falls back down again. Otherwise we may have succeeded. New idea is to make some sort of sled.

And why is he taller than the others?
One thing I don't like about ebay is that they don't give you the package size on action figures. I'm glad I got him but I kinda wish he was the size of my Playmate figures.

ATV update
So yesterday things looked very bleak. Polaris dealer said they couldn't find a replacement axle and we didn't know who else to ask so Dad and I thought we were gonna have to sieze all what we're doing. No more firewooding.
Then today I got a tip from a coworker about a guy who might be able to help us. Got his number, called Dad (yes; on work hours

) and gave it to him. When I got home he told me that yeah, this guy seemed very confident. He said there are no spare parts here but he could order the whole axle from Saki's place i.e the origin of the Polaris. Might take a month or so but who cares!?!?
