    I had a Jeep Liberty years ago that needed an oil pan. The shop manual called for removing the engine and it was an 18 hour job. My mechanic said he could cut the cross member under the oil pan and weld it back on in about two hours instead of removing the engine. You know what we did, chop chop!!

    A little trick for NOT losing C-clips I learned from an older mechanic, is to place strong magnets around where the clip will come off. Most of the time the clip will stick to the magnet instead of shooting off and disappearing. It doesn’t always work but works more often than it doesn’t. It’s worked for me for years and the newer neodymium magnets makes it even more effective. Works with bearing caps with pins as well.
    Never too early for PDiddy jokes! Been making them for years!

    I would cut the crossmember about 1" away from the frame rail. Then you could weld a tab and drill it to bolt the crossmember back in. If there is a next time repair, you can just unbolt it to get access.

    There are three differentials modes. Bottom is 1 wheel drive turf mode with an open diff, middle is 2wd locked rear diff and top is AWD which engages front diff on demand.
    Be careful with turf mode. Some older model owners swear it damages the transfer system. And also, I've heard they recommend to make absolutely sure you don't shift into or out of turf mode while driving.
    We have a 21 Ranger 1000 Crew Premium, and I've been overly cautious with turf mode just in case. But between 2wd and AWD I just make sure the rear wheels aren't slipping before popping into AWD.
    I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you keep it. We absolutely love ours!

    Mustie that emergency brake system is crazy. I've got a John Deere xuv 560 and the set up with the little ball bearings that it pivots on is exactly the same. I just think it's funny that they have disc brakes on each wheel but yet the emergency brake is in the drive shaft on mine. Mine you can't replace the pads either. You must replace the whole assembly and it's over 200 dollars. Needless to say I've got a block of wood in the bed I throw under my tire for a parking brake.

    For dirty areas like those brakes, use a dry graphite spray

    I've learned from my mistakes that when pressing apart UJs i insert half a piece of tube (C shaped) inside the UJ to stop it bending as I press the bearing shells out.

    I made sure my relief valve was moving free and went ahead and polished it and put a pressure gage on it with a red light indicator for low pressure, regular oil changes are a must. Inside floor comes out easy for access

    Ya need a little fluid film under there. Wonderful video. Several years ago I had a Kawasaki Mule, when the starter went bad the dealer told me a new one was nearly $600. I wouldnt pay that so as I was leaving one of the young service guys stopped me and clued me in to a sight that sold the, for about $100. Seems it's the same starter used on many different engines.

    The mode selector switch is bottom-turf mode(one wheel peel) center-rear lock and top-4x4 at least on mine. I also have had to replace the front drive shaft and without a lift it turns into a long project having to loosen the front differential and the front right cv shaft. Lots easier removing the cross strut. Thanks for the content long time subscriber.

    We had a 500 4x4 Polaris Ranger on a long-term job site for about 12 years. We drove the snot out of it year-round. We went through a few drive belts, a fuel pump, computer and one set of CVT pulleys over the years. The nail in the coffin was when the connection between the air box and the engine intake came apart and it sucked in a bunch of dust for a couple or few weeks. The engine oil looked like mud after that and it just plain quit running. One rebuilt engine later and it was back to work.

    Dear Mustie1.
    👍👌👏 Very well done, Sir. 2) Glad that you are happy with your purchase after all the maintenance and repairs. Hope that the engine is healthier than it sounds. By the way:
    3) For my personal kind of taste this vehicle is way too rattely/squeaky inside and therefore annoying. But I guess with added doors and some more maintenance/repairs it will at least be a bit quieter.
    As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health in particular.

    A guy I worked with years ago used your cut and weld crossmember trick to change the timing gears on an Opel Rekord P1. The engine would have had to be removed to allow access, but he said no way, let's fire up the torch.
    I can't say I blame either of you guys!
