It's ridiculous that new side by sides cost as much as new a car... which are also priced ridiculously.

As someone who works at a Honda dealership these are a pain to work on and diagnose sometimes you need specific tools and computers to work on them to figure out the electrical issues and this model also had ecu and shift motor/solenoid problems and I’ve seen probably 20-25 get changed in my 3 years there

[@9a2er]

It is crazy that I recently had better quality from Chinese than German and Japanese products (except Toyota). Really surprising and sad in some ways.

[@UltraMagaFan2]

@@9a2erI’d still take a Honda even if they’re less reliable. I’d much rather have an American made side by side than a Chinese made side by side. China is an awful country that I have no interest in financially supporting. And just to clarify, Honda side by sides aren’t Japanese. They are manufactured in Timmonsville, South Carolina and Swepsonville, North Carolina.

House is looking good, can't wait for that video to drop. Gotta be careful zipping around like that. We just had a local guy die not too long ago driving around in a UTV like that, he lost control and rolled it. Stay safe.

[@esqueue]

20:26 - 20:36 This was one of the plus sides of these videos a few years when I say you and binged through almost all of your old content till I caught up. I laughed but enjoyed when you sometimes skipped years in a single video and appreciated you giving updates when you had enough content.

[@ggourmetmeals]

Loved the Easter egg, it looks great! ❤ You deserve it. Also, Amazon seems to have a nice selection of windshields both for the front and rear. "Ruthless" brand windshield is out of STOCK but looked very nice though.

[@kenc1800]

I totally agree! Sure BEATS the church project!

[@kenc1800]

Wow! Matt that was an impressive YT Easter Egg! Your wife will be very proud of your progress, I know I sure am! I just love your story telling and editing skills. You always entertain and connect all the dots (even if it takes two or three years). Once the house build is complete,maybe we will see that over head crane get installed!

[@hisaddle]

I have had too much coffee.... I think I see 6 or 7 Cub Cadets in the background, cool. I was surprised you started up a vibrating machine with things laying loose in the front by the battery, a can, another battery, etc. 7 yrs ago I got lucky 3 times buying 6x6 military trucks from online auction. I am surprised you did not pressure wash the whole machine before working on it, makes it much more pleasant to work on. Thanks for sharing, really like your vids.

[@MGower4465]

6 or 7? That's just the first row.

[@Renville80]

Matt got his start collecting Cub Cadets. There's a couple older videos where he does a bit of work on them, they also got caught in a flood a few years back.

[@GoobiesFunZone]

I think he’s stated before that he has more in storage off site

[@jimwhite1061]

Good job Matt, I think it was wisdom you sent it to a dealer. You checked to see the main stuff was OK, making the unit worth repairing. Shoot, you even put the first mechanic back on the track cuz he was thinking wrong. Looks like you enjoy that side by side alot. You get a thumbs up from me.

[@1997cr80r]

Its definitely that CV shaft in the rear end making that racket. Once the grease starts leaking out they will make that noise. Its also quite obvious because its louder with the diff locked vs open. If it was a diff problem the noise would likely go away when it was locked.

[@rovhalgrencparselstedt8343]

Yup! That clicking sounded exactly like every CV joint i ever heard going bad. A diff/locker going bad would be more of a whining and/or grinding noise if im not mistaken.

[@littlejason99]

Just sat down to eat some lunch and a new diesel creek popped up! Yay!!!

[@awstott]

Wow! The house went up fast! I had to look at the date this video was posted when I first started watching it as things have changed so much - thought maybe Matt found a long lost video. I had forgotten about the SxS - we had seen it in a few videos in the shop in the past, but it just vanished. Thanks for closing out the project.

[@Ricky-r4r]

I was quite surprised seeing the house in the background just for a brief second, it's really come a long way!!!

Matt test the neutral switch with A digital multimeter. It's electronic powered switch for allowing ⚙️ gear to ⚙️ gear selection position controller switch for what gear to shift itself into by.

Another day, another awesome project. Can’t wait to see how you troubleshoot and bring this back to life!

[@walterwhitaker1395]

I am a small engine and motorcycle mechanic. Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, all have a policy on working on product. They replace they do not repair! The corporate structure is all about modular concept. They build them as units there for no repair of components is needed. Techs are taught to find the issue then replace the component! Time is money with these dealerships! JOHN DEERE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS!

[@walterrobbins4470]

The oil pressure light makes me think low oil pressure and a lot of newer stuff has a low oil pressure cutoff that kills the engine so it doesn’t get burned up

[@haphazard1342]

"They usually need fuel to stay running." 😂

[@jaredc.3508]

i completely forgot about this machine. thanks for the upload as always i really enjoy your videos!

[@mikeman5022]

The 2 rear drain plugs are for the engine oil, the main transmission is in the engine, the front one that was milky is the subtransmission, luckily all the clutches are in the engine not the subtransmission

[@sgtrhyno]

I bought, repaired and sold 11 of the Polaris side by sides from those auctions. The inspectors either don't care or don't know what they are looking at. Big benefit for me. Don't be afraid to buy them, nice return on investment.

Another great and teachable moment video as always. The best part was the smile on your face while driving your new toy! Also seeing as you stated the easter egg moment (house progress) we saw as driving by. Can't wait to see it when done, I know you'll be keeping inside private but it looks like you'll be making your wife quite happy when it's all done as well as yourself. It's all well-deserved because you work hard. Keep up the great videos and will be watching has been for quite some time now.

[@bazzathegreat3517]

Side by sides have a decent amount of electronics in a vehicle that is exposed to the elements. They are just rife for wiring/electronic failures. I would also inspect the wires especially were they run along the frame to see if there is any damage from being pinched. If a new wiring harness is available and not overly expensive, I would consider replacing.

[@lancecarlin4908]

best part of the video is when you come flying over the hill and hit the brakes..And say "I LIKE THIS THING!!!" i laughed so hard... house looks great Matt.. Love the videos, keeo up the good work!!!

Matt may I make a suggestion. Since you are an old school type of guy, I suggest you get a chalk blackboard where you write down ALL the projects you need to work on. You can prioritize them anyway you wish. Many of us are anticipating the start and completion of a project, ie; wood burning boiler and would love to see it crossed off the list. Just say’n. Cheers from 🇨🇦

When you first put it in the shop I thought what's going on here then realised there was no new shop so I knew this video was a drawn out one. When you started looking at fault codes I thought Matts like me this isn't going to be good and sure enough off to the dealer we go. The way Honda work you would never of sorted it on your own even if you knew what you were doing with those electronics. The look on your face was priceless when you found out how good it is. Hopefully you and the wife can some quality time together out playing on it with friends.
