  • Couldn't find videos on exactly how the Hilliard clutch of the 4 wheel drive works. Decided to make a video once I figured out how it worked.

    Great explanation of how the hilliard clutch works. Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only guy that has a crazy messy shop when I'm working on something.

    First person that could explain the functionning of the clutch. Thanks mate. It helped when you said the armature plate worked as a brake. cheers.

    Hi from the Rocky Mountains, man I am sure glad i found your video! It was just what I needed to help me get my Trail boss back running. My clutch looks a bit different but same theory. I bought the atv already taken apart
    Thanks and great job

  • @mr.octopus6972

    I've done my own experiment with this clutch.
    If you want to see in in action, just put a big bushing where the hub goes (that giant nut in the middle of the clutch, if you have an older one is just perfect for that).
    So without the hub installed you will see the difference when in 2x4 and 4x4 and be able to film it.

  • @robertmintz63
    @robertmintz63 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the explanation of the armature plate which acts as a brake to the outer half of the Hilliard clutch , did not know what that was called either THANKS , Now I can see what happens ! With the splines on the axle engaged in the splines of the inner part of the clutch, (the big nut ) & the outer half not rotating freely, the big roller bearings will be forced out against the hub , forcing 4x4 THANKS

    • @robertmintz63
      @robertmintz63 4 роки тому

      Proud of you man for figuring that all out ! Also if that plate is distorted in any way it is garbage ! In other vids they tell you to place a straight edge across where the axle comes out of & where the armature plate comes up against should be .001” , if more than that it will not work properly

  • @frederickkennedy7931
    @frederickkennedy7931 3 роки тому +1

    I believe the reason the magnet assembly needs to have a good ground is to eliminate the problem where the armature plate becomes magnetized when not asked to be (I.e awd switch not on) this gives the plate a complete circuit to ground. Great Video, garage is a mess

  • @OGBB33

    Gr8 video bro. I recently bought a Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 and my left front wheel hub clutch is engaging even when AWD is turned off. I think I will disassemble the hub, bearing, and clutch and see if my Hilliard clutch or Armature plate is damaged. I had an idea how Polaris AWD worked but your video made it very clear. Keep the how to vids coming man! I think the Polaris 4wd system is great if you keep your hubs properly lubed and replace worn parts before they cause extreme damage. :)

    That's very helpful, thanks to you explaining everything I believe that I can formulate a plan to bypass the electric magnet and just have analog full-time drive on mine 😀, I have a 1997 Polaris Magnum 425 6x6, so I'll get back to you it my plan works 😅.

    • @andreythedon
      @andreythedon  23 дні тому +1

      6x6, niceee

    • @mwbjgamingprojects
      @mwbjgamingprojects 23 дні тому

      @andreythedon as promised, an update, my plan to bypass the magnet was successful. However, I have since discovered a major design flaw. Polaris paired 1 12 tooth sprocket and 1 12 tooth sprocket with 2 22 tooth sprockets. This creates a difference in the Geer ratio between front and rear axles, causing the rear wheels to shuv the front wheels across the ground at a slower speed than the rear wheels.
      Currently, I am working to solve this problem and will continue to build my 6x6 mud-toy..

    I'm having the same problem with my 2002 Polaris 400. Bought it used and someone before me has all the wireing all screwed up. Was wonder how it worked. Just wondering if i can wire the clutches directly to a switch. Dont think the 4 WD switch is working. Thanks for sharing and making it easy to understand

  • @SSteeleify
    @SSteeleify 2 роки тому +1

    Most of the problems with this system are... neglect of service of the hubs. Dead magnet or bad connection to the magnet. Or messed up armature plate tabs.

    Hi I just seen this I just got one but its a 400 and when I put it into 4x4 one tire will move and the other will not. I am going to ck this out because the rubber boot behind it is gone that is on the drive axle. I hope there is not much to it.

    I’m still lost on it. My 400 scrambler 2 stroke started working in 3 wheel drive yesterday. I found my cv boot was cut open and it was exposed to mud and water. So I dunno if it just needs a new axle
    Or the hub parts are damaged ?

    • @JohnnyRebKy
      @JohnnyRebKy 4 роки тому

      andycel schneider I haven’t tore into mine yet. But if your plate is good and everything looks good you need to check the current in the wiring with a meter. No current no wheel turn
