Grabbed a 99 timberwolf 4x4 for 100 bucks off a friend it was sitting for 4 years the rear diff was trashed bought a parts one for 300 that had the top end tore off but came with brand new in the box, a valve train assembly complete with cam etc., a new cylinder head and piston, new throttle cable, and new air filter, spark plug, and oil filter. Swapped the rear end swing arm back onto the running one (rear end looked brand new inside, had new yokes, u joint, bearings etc.) So now I have every part I could ever possibly need. Swapped the racks and bumpers as well as some other things. Still gotta fix the front brakes but came with brand new back brakes on it. Things a beast on the trails for a little 250 and to boot altogether it cost me a 400 bucks and I got a parts quad and new top end! I'd easily expect to pay over a grand for one mint and I got all these parts on top of it. I'm keeping it but could turn around and get at least 3 times my money back.
I have so many plans for videos with ATVs, watercraft and more but I just don't have the time. I can show a similar setup on my latest video regarding battery replacement. basically you need to plow Mount with u bolts and a winch
I just scored one of these for 200 bucks, In great shape also a 4x4. Has some electrical issues (not running) I suspect it also a bad stator. But for the price, I don't care if needs a new coil and wiring harness. Nice little review you did on this rig !!
diff lock you're looking at newer ATVs. the 250 and 300 Suzuki king quads from the 80s and 90s had diff lock but they are way too light in the front to trailer logs. unless you counter weight that, it's a viable choice. I use my trx300 to trailer logs though. no diff lock but it does the job
Mostly the same 4x4 system. It's pretty much 3wd. It's not as good as dedicated with diff lock but it gets the job done. I like this ATV better for tooling around. I like the big bear better pulling trailers through the woods
Shoooo boi. Both are cable driven, both are drum brakes. The rears always break (no pun intended) but the fronts are normally good. Are they seized or squeeze all the way in but don't stop?
@@ww2nut9 in the front - the brakes squeeze in at the drum and you can see the mechanism moving at both sides that means you most likely need new pads. Super easy to replace. The rear has only one drum, a bit harder to replace but still not too hard. Same thing applies, if it is all the way tight and you squeeze, it moves and nothing happens you must likely need brake pads. They're super cheap for both front and rears. Talking like 16 dollars for the front and 12 for the rear. But can't say for sure without seeing it
There’s one of these for sale not so far away from and the guy reckons its a 350cc... he’s not sure what year it is either ... does anyone know if they made them in a 350?
i got one just like this but mines a 96, when its idle it runs fun but everytime i take off it dies, it has very low oil, im thinking this yamaha has a low oil shutoff, does it have a low oil shutoff?
I have one of these. It's a full-time 4x4 without high or low range. It does have a 5-speed geared transmission like a motorcycle. It's not a CVT belt drive like most ATVs. I use mine to plow snow in Wisconsin, wet heavy stuff up to a foot deep, pushes it just fine and my driveway is STEEP. Don't expect speeds much more than the low 40s, it's no racer but it's a tank.
I purchased my Timberwolf 4x4 about 15 years ago and I' Love it it's a keeper yours looks in good condition like mine

Its not worth what you have in it
I love these 4 wheelers their the best! My neighbor gave me a mint condition Timberwolf 4x4 and I love it! I ride it everyday just about it!
Would u sell it
My friend has a timberwolf and I want one sooo bad😢
@@MentMicro they are so fun for little atvs
@@WeTryMotorsports my buddy said he took a speedometer app on his phone and it said 55 mph
@@MentMicro man that seems fast for one of these haha
any chance you can show the plow set up?

Great video. I need a quad with differential lock to pull a wagon full of cut logs. Any recommendations?

@@WeTryMotorsports Would a 5 speed semiautomatic have more towing power than an automatic with just high/low range?
@@Billster1955 depends on the CC and weight of the bike. I enjoy semi-auto because of the high/low but that's my preference
I'm fixing one of these up as well.
Same
Top speed is actually 65 mph
how does the 4wd compare to the red big bear you have?
Mostly the same 4x4 system. It's pretty much 3wd. It's not as good as dedicated with diff lock but it gets the job done. I like this ATV better for tooling around. I like the big bear better pulling trailers through the woods
Can you tell me where the 3 hoses that's connected to the ggrommet are connected to
On my timber wolf my brakes don't work at all. Any idea how I can fix?
Front or rear
@@WeTryMotorsports both
Shoooo boi. Both are cable driven, both are drum brakes. The rears always break (no pun intended) but the fronts are normally good. Are they seized or squeeze all the way in but don't stop?
They squeeze, that's the weird part. I've tried tighten the back brakes,still nothing

Could you leave the link for the plow
Literally any 42-54 inch plow will work, just as long as you fab up a mount and a winch ;)
Does it steer hard with being 4wd?
no, since these have a front differential only one tire truly rotates at a time making it easy to turn
There’s one of these for sale not so far away from and the guy reckons its a 350cc... he’s not sure what year it is either ... does anyone know if they made them in a 350?
Not the timberwolf. The wolverine and the Big Bear are 350cc

Is it faster than the 2x4 or abt the same
Is it full time 4wd?
paul rogers yes
Would you sell it
Hi ....excuse my ignorance but does this 4x4 have a low and high range, and can one engage 2x4 or 4x4?

Anyone selling one 🥵
