LOMAX!!!! thanks - I found the VIN exactly where you just said. I wonder how I missed that multiple times???

mine is a 1990 - cool now I can buy a few parts for it.

I had one of those and when I needed parts for it. the service desk told me that there is no name for it like,( trail boss) and that it was just called a 250 4x4 or 2x4 and they were air cooled 250cc 2 stroke. and other than the motor, most parts are the same. and interchangeable. good luck

.....I was kinda thinking the exterior parts would be the same. I bet any of the gen 2 seats would fit it - any idea? did yours have the 35 years sticker cole? and was it fast? I am thinking it is the 30hp motor... he he might still reed it and put a pipe and gears on it

im not real sure how good of pull this PVT thing has tho?
- soon to be running * I have to fab a bracket for the shifter - anyone know what slot is what? \
foward=reverse, back one = go, back two slots = go faster, and rear slot = neutral?? i have no clue

well mine was the 4x4 250cc with the 3 chain setup on the right and the belt on the left. and 900 things to grease and oil. and it was heavy for only a 250cc. but it was snappy and quick just because its a 2 stroke. don't get to excited about it. its not like it has gobs of power or nothing. and most of the power on mine was lost in turning all the chains on it. and about the sticker, until now I never payed much attention to it, but I do remember something like that in the front on the oil res plastic cover I think. I was also told that the oil pump likes to just stop with no warning light. and that the best thing to do is to pull off the oil jug and premix your oil, so you know that at least its getting the right amount.

[rally4x4racer]

is that all you have to do to run premix? just pull the oil jug off and mix yer own? I was thinking about that - what should I run 1:50?

mine only has one chain but it is lookin kinda loose. how the heck to I tighten it ? doesnt look like the rear axle slides out...

Hey good luck with the Polaris,I really like mine(and so do the people I let ride it so I can ride there 3 wheeler's lol)!!
I have the 95 Explorer 400 4x4 and it's a real work horse!
I havnt ever had to do any big repairs and has run great for the 3 years I have had it.
My explorer's chain adjusts by loosening the 2 bolts on the axle by the rear hub/sproket,have someone sit on the rear and the chain will tighten then retighten the bolts.
You can also use a ratchet strap to compress it.
If that dosnt get it tight(while your sitting on it) you probally need a new chain/sprocket?
I do wonder how hard it is to find parts down south?
I never even heard of polaris when I lived in Florida,here in Minnesota it's a very popular brand lol!!!
Anyway,hope all goes well
