Pictures of the piss poor welds on a 2008 Thundercat 3.1 differential. This ought to scare you if you ride over 5 MPH or so. <grin> Are other years and models the same? ummm Maybe, Maybe not. But does seem like it's been more of a problem on the 2008 models but not unheard of for other years either.

Number of downloads: 98Also a good testament for Redline Shock proof gear lube, 1700 miles on this differential, several hundred miles in 4x4. There is No, ZERO gear tooth wear. Not even any wear marks, shiny teeth or nothing that would indicate wear or friction. The teeth look completely un-used and new. Also the reason for the funny color, Redline shock proof gear lube is Pink

I have heard the MP's are doing it because of the SLD
You are running along in 4wd and you hit the gas hard, the SLD slips and put s all of the torque to the front axle....
Then BANG...busted diff
Orrrrrrrrr
They didn't fix the weld problem for '09
They really need to invest in some heavier duty front and rear diffs for these quads.
WVABEER---Keep us posted on what actually broke in the front diff on that 550

QUOTE (Deere @ Jul 21 2010, 08:00 PM)  Did they get this solved for 2010? I am getting a 2010 450 and was wondering if this issue was solved by now? Most of the 08's and some early 09's had the problem. You can break any of them if you go to too big of a tire. I would say you should be fine with your 010 450. That is going to be my next machine, as soon as they add power steering to it.
