Water Damaged Honda Fourtrax 300, Will this Vintage ATV Start and Run?

[@FrontierDirtfarmer]

Hi Harvey, I’ve replaced gears and bearings in couple of those Honda rear ends in the last few years with good success. They are not hard to work on. Thanks for the videos.

[@fan1701]

I'd check the rearend grease first and then check for wheel bearing problems. Seems like a decent price for a 4x4 machine. 👍👍

[@jbburton5928]

Mr Hondas,s helper Harvey waves his magic wand hey presto it lives bravo encore

[@rustyedmoore]

Looks like another Honda Runs again!

[@troybullock3027]

Been waiting for a project to 300 for ages

[@Troy-f2h]

Nice find I just got a o5 Honda rancher for 250 bucks putting a top end in it a d I have one lol

[@davekimbler2308]

Is it possible that the crunch is coming from the brake drum and not the differential ? Man that one needs a bath ! Hahaha ! I haven’t tried the Alum-a-rod yet , fingers crossed ! The JB weld wouldn’t hold because of the presents of oil but I will flip the motor over ( emptied oil ) and dry it and try again ! I do have an acetylene torch that I will use !

[@Day12My]

Them damn Hondas...They will last forever!

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Good class. Check the parts breakdown from the driveshaft to the ring and pinion, I've seen the clearance get too large and make everything wiggle under power as it gets to the pinion. Look for a guy on you tube called Dee Ray [don't quote me on the spelling] from Arkansas that rebuilt the same rear end in his video a while back, In a 2 or 3 part series. The ring and pinion don't get marked with that yellow marker like in auto rears. As soon as I get a chance I'll look at vids that might help, I got a guy in Bing. that broke down the same machine and is selling the parts on CL for $300. Din't know him but one of my guys deals with him and might be able to get more info. Good project!

[@enjoythesho1992]

Those honda 300s are tough but the rear axels love to eat bearings

[@tyb6304]

I know right I own one myself

[@redneckasmr-xd1gg]

may need to pop it apart and asses whats going on that housing might be ok or maby a snap ring came loose who knows. im sure you'll get it going again

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

I believe d-ray smith has a fix video of the rear diff of one of these if you need it.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

you got a good buy there runs well a few fixes and away you go thumbs up shared

[@Day12My]

1:02...You saved a ton on the bike....buy some new tires

[@robertgwinn8406]

Cool find. Got our ohio 1st snow this morning

[@mikeatv]

thats the only thing ive never rebuilt in a honda is the rear differental.. atleast you have a good motor..

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

Welcome to the horde brother

[@troybullock3027]

Would be cool to see this thing all fixed up with new mud flaps and everything

[@ismaelhazen4525]

My First step on every old machine I work on like this, is cleaning it up and removing brocken or stuff falling appart like that rear fender and those stupid lights and PLS remove all that dirt and leaves on there before you even touch any mecanicak thing on there😅. Thats my way of working, i guesse we each have our methods🤷‍♂️

[@markcollins5026]

Man, just hit it with a leaf blower or power wash it !

[@ashleyrichards4241]

Well used. I've heard rumours about people just filling them worn rear ends with grease

[@Southized]

Id fill it with motor honey

[@jbburton5928]

Pumpkins this time of year are abundant but are orange and mushy but make delicious pies

[@timmoore3061]

hi hARVEY LOVE UR CHANNEL. I HAVE A 8 PIN CDI HONDA 300 FM 1999 OR 8 MONTH OF 98. MY PINK AND WHITE MAIN FUSE KEEPS BLOWING NO SPARK.... ANY IDEas bought it he bought new cdistill have old one. nuetral lightr and oil light work but blows big guage pink and white fuse any ideas?

[@fixyouratv]

Love it, immortal mashine

[@JimBobZee]

This Honda won't be a daily rider, I would do the Mustie1 trick.

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

Check to see if the brake shoes fell apart before messing with the rear diff. Might get lucky bud😊

[@rockyjustus2829]

There simple ,it's straight forward you won't have any issues with it , put it back exactly as it comes out and your gold

[@jackvickery6265]

Where is the CDI located on a Honda 125

[@azmick1585]

I own one of these machines, they are tough!

[@brandonayers2049]

The gas swmell pretty good

[@ericball6894]

You do your hotwire entirely too difficult. Just disconnect the key switch and you should get spark. The only thing is charging system isn't working

[@h.routdoors3537]

I got my 98 one owner In mint condition barely ever driven for 900 bucks

[@thompsonce]

Its not the diff thats the problem its the little baring on the break side that is grinding the hole rear end id a pice of crap if you get a chance to find a 350d Forman rea end put it in it and the cdi box and stuff are all good and the transmission wont be blown its strong and i got a 1994 honda trx 300 4x4 all you had to do is make shure it had gas and it would run

[@richardemmons7610]

it will be OK when DR Harvey gets done with it...

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Common problem is the right rear wheel bearing going and causes the brake shoes to rub and catch..check this before u go too crazy buying parts

[@GrowYourOwnFun]

Nice 👍🏻

[@marknilsson5782]

It would be easer for us to see and you to work if you would pressure wash this stuff! Please😳

[@andrewmunchkin7212]

I dont think the Hoard feels comfortable with that honda. I predict a dark time ahead.

[@samjonathan8945]

I rebuilt mine it was pretty easy

[@paultrimble9390]

Don’t know getting ready to do rear gears and brakes let ya know

[@JimmyCandFriends]

Front wheel drive is better than now wheel drive.

[@jaymoge]

Probably turn better too if the rear diff isn't locked.

[@JimmyCandFriends]

@@jaymoge Right

[@mr.kool_aid_m3218]

Replace the bearings in brake drum and diff and replace the gears you’ll be better kff

[@lyndonwebber1389]

Ignition switch is naffed

[@triballking]

Like 8f you think he'd so under rated

[@AlexHD]
