New guy from Ohio

Hey, everyone, my name's Levi and I'm from Cheshire OH.   Picked up an '06 660 Rhino from a fellow a few nights ago and my first paragraph will be about how much I love it and how capable it is.   Here goes. 

I bought a well-used-looking 660 Rhino from a fellow off of Craigslist.  He stated it hadn't been back for the recall for the rear spacers/swaybar, but it has spacers on the front wheels.   To experiment whether or not is like the recall I pulled the rear swaybar linkage, dropped the springs to their lowest preload, and went for a ride tonight.    My cousin got an 800 rzr and I couldn't take it anymore and had to get a SxS.  I didn't want a rzr since that's what every douche has (   ), and I've wanted a rhino since they came out, so the choice was pretty simple.    

I followed him everywhere.  There was only one spot I couldn't go and that was a squeeze for him so i didn't sweat it too badly.    It was a nice evening of technical trails and occasional, decent mud.   Stayed right with him and made me a very happy man with my purchase. 

Then this happened
  

Anyways, good to be here, and had this not happened i'd be calling Mr. JBS to ask about stopping by and getting my own sheave worked on.   Not gonna happen until I figure out the deal on this. 

I think we have seen this befor on a 660 dads(mr.jbs) outta town till tomorrow or Monday not for sure which one but give him a call and he can tell prob tell ya what's up.... Welcome to the site

Welcome. Hate that happen to you on your first ride.

Welcome.

Thanks, guys.  

I wouldn't want to bother a man on his weekend anyways, I know how precious mine are to me.   If this doesn't turn out to be some recall fix or something like that then I'll be taking it in the shop and fixing it myself.   I'm not scared to fix it myself, I just don't want to end up wasting a bunch of time on something that I may not have to do.

looks like the mount bolts for diff broke out , look at the frame where the diff bolts up, see if the mount holes are broke out you can make your own or buy a lower mount for the diff to stop this form happing again an repair the top mounts also will give you 4 mounting points , should also look at your front diff for same thing . there are pics on here of the diff brace that might help

have heard of diff bolts loosening over time then causeing frame to crack, welcome to the site hope things go back well

Welcome. Post this over in the differential section and you may get more of a response.

Thanks again, everyone. 

I'll go over there and search around for a while now, at the time I had posted that I was just trying to drink it away.     


I'll edit the post and move all the info.

Tacoclaw!!huh what did you boys do!!! I guess you will have that if you push hard enough. I might have some stuff you need . And James AKA hot rod rhino has any thing else you might need. Stop by and take a look. And welcome to the show!!!

yep...mounts broke...you can fix it your self and make it better..call me monday

Welcome Tacoclaw, you did right by getting the Rhino, great rides.

From one buckeye to the next, welcome. Hope you get your machine squared away soon.

Sorry, guys, I was off on other projects/forums while I waited on parts.  

I appreciate all the welcomes, and am ashamed I haven't seen you more often, John.  I am somewhat surprised to see you on a forum, I just figured you and Tyler were exactly the same and both despised the Internet. 

James, I'll be giving you a call sometime next week I figure.   I'm gonna dig around and clean up in my stock sheave so I don't look like an jackass trying to discuss it and take it in for mods.

Welcome!!!

welcome, hope your running soon....

Boy, that sucks!  Good choice of beer in your pic though.  I self medicate with Yuengling myself.  Have it on tap in the basement.
