How did this work out for you, Steve?
Looks like I bothered all you guys for nothing. Not to mention several dealers. Guy just called me and was able to fix the Timberwolf for a reasonable price, so I guess I will keep running it for now.
It may last longer than I will, but if it doesn't, and I have to buy another one soon, I'll go to the place in Chattanooga and get a Honda Rancher. On paper, its just a better machine than the new Yamaha. Double clutch transmission with gears instead of a belt, and EFI instead of a carburetor, and price about the same. I was gonna go up there and test drive one with power steering and then decide if I wanted to pay for it or not.
Thanks to all for the help. There just is nothing made now in the way of a really light 4x4 in the class of the old Timberwolf.
