Nice work, always makes the customer feel better about your work when you make it look as good on the outside as you do on the inside in my opinion. 
Nothing I hate more than watching guys recondition a component and they send it out without even cleaning it, makes you wonder if they even took the time to do the internals right.

Thank you for the compliment.Nice work, always makes the customer feel better about your work when you make it look as good on the outside as you do on the inside in my opinion.
You are correct, I see it all to often.

I didn't know that the ring gear pin was problematic. Have they been known to break/shear? What was the upgrade, a different material?

Toxic, do you happen to know the ring/pinion tooth count of that unit (or what would typically be in the front of a xp900/1000 Ranger)?

Pleasant work, consistently makes the client rest easy thinking about your work when you make it look as great outwardly as you do within as I would like to think. Nothing I detest more than watching folks recondition a part and they send it out without cleaning it, makes you wonder on the off chance that they even set aside the effort to do the internals right.

Also noticed the fill plug looks to be stripped out. Did you replace it with a new one?
That happened to the front of my unit as well as I stripped mine out the very first time trying to check the fluid at 30~ish hours (yes I was using the 8mm Allen). At first I thought the hulk at the factory simply over tightened it. Spoke to a new local Polaris dealer that moved into town a year later (not the dealer I purchased the machine from) and they of course were no help and just wanted to charge $$ to "fix" it to get me to go away. I got mad and walked out and went back home. Got out the cold chisel set and beat on the outside edge to break it free (this way no heat was involved). Then faced it with the flapper wheel and welded on a 3/4" nut and painted it silver. Done.
It is then I realized why the units strip out so easily: it is soft steel to begin with but more importantly, the machine that makes these units leaves behind the "shavings" inside when the hex is punched which prevents the 8mm Allen from being inserted all the way. So, a stripped out front diff fill plug is almost inevitable! Everyone like pics:

Funny, I then checked the front drain plug, rear drain plug and rear fill plug for which none of those had the metal shavings left inside of them! They all broke free with no problem. The oil in the above pic is because the factory did have my front case slightly overfilled (imagine that).

I had same problem with front plug on my '19 XP1000 stripped out, had hard time getting it removed. Replaced it with new one from Polaris $28.00! What a ripoff, probably does not
cost them more than 2 bucks.
I now torque everything to specs, checked the rear and all the drain plugs, of course they were over torqued.

Lovely work, reliably makes the customer sit back and relax contemplating your work when you make it look as extraordinary ostensibly as you do inside as I might want to think. Nothing I hate more than watching people recondition a section and they send it out without cleaning it, makes you wonder if they even put aside the work to do the internals right.

Is there some sort of scam where you reverse Google translate, translate back, and then post it again?
