Hello Lords and Ladies:

I inherited an '88 Quad (yes, I know I'm on the wrong site) Terrapro with a PTO from my father, who was a 38 year FD veteran who kept her shiny and new. Yammy is pretty and she has so many layers of wax when I take her out to blow snow it doesn't even stick to her. Here's my problem: I ran her all winter last year, and I know that she was maintained like a fire truck until December 4, 2014 when my father passed away. I want to keep her "Blowing snow like a sonofa "*****" until she's 50. I'm not a bike/trike kind of guy though. I don't even know simple things like how to figure out if I should screw the dip stick all the way in to get a reading on oil. My car experience tells me no, but I'm running a 350cc.... I see it as less than a half litre and I'm used to cars, and I really don't want to break this machine. I have never lived on a farm and I need help maintaining the PTO. This machine is a ride with my Dad. My mother sold his beautiful truck, his perfect bike, and she's throwing his lawnmower in with the house. I have Yammy parked in my little garage, and my wife bitches about not being able to park her crappy car in there because I have a "toy" in there. It's an ATV emergency, folks...

Well for starters no, you do not screw the dipstick in to check the oil. You remove it, wipe it, then dip it back in.

Obtaining a manual and reading it cover to cover will help you immensely.

Nice looking terra. I suspect your Dad has the manual somewhere by the looks of how he kept his iron looking. If you can't find it keep searching eBay or join a Yamaha ATV forum and ask around. I always wondered why the PTO equipped ATV's never took off; especially on the diesel model Polaris made many years ago.This is the only model that had it that I know of.
