About 20 minutes ago my son tore out the front differential on his 2002 Rancher ES!!! Anyone know where I can find a used front end?

?? We gotta get him up and running!!!! Any suggestions would help!

You can buy almost anything on Ebay. I got two new front axles for my rancher prettycheap. Give it a shot.

Thanks 8! I love ebay! I checked there already and didn't find one, but did find a guy who sells a BUNCH of atv parts, so I emailed him....waiting for a reply now. Found a new one $$$ :-/
But, it may come down to that!

What all do you need for it? Below is a link for an axle but it doesn't say front or rear.

You should check with the dealer but this might fit.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for all of the info! I'll be busy trying to locate one today. I don't have a pic, but I'll get one, it's cracked and has TWO holes in it (front & back). He was just messing around in a ditch in front of my friend's house and it's pretty deep & muddy, he said: "I just heard a loud pop and my front wheels quit turning!" After he got pulled out, we checked it and saw that mess! It must have just been a matter of time because he's been through a LOT worse than that ditch! Poor guy, talk about a LONG face!

Okay, here goes.....we are ordering a new one from the local Honda dealer around here. $360, that was the cheapest price we could find....next cheapest was $389 and then two prices of $450 each!! Figured that would be safer than getting a used one because no telling how long that would last either! I called the # for Mike w/ the Salvage Yard but just got an answering machine, I called D&C but he didn't have anything laying around (but did offer to order), I checked the one on Ebay but it was for an 88' model and the one I need only fits 02 & 03. Summit's price was $450. So, here goes.......broke again!...NO, Broke STILL! [smiley=Unhappy.gif] Thanks for all of your help and suggestions!!!!

Turns out, all said & done, I spent $510!!!!! The $360 didn't include everything we needed! Thought ya'll might like to see the "damage"!!!! Here come some pictures...
