I just picked up a used 2005 ranger 500 cc carb LE with 115 hours, it has a HD Glacier plow and a 4,000 lb Warn winch. I had to truck 350 miles yesterday to get it and it was well worth it. I was surprised to find out it was an LE with chrome rims and 26" tires. I just hope the carb is ok, that was my big concern especially in the winter plowing snow (and we get lots). I live in ATV heaven, its about time I got one. I have 75 acres in the UP of Michigan within a mile of thousands of acres of state land. Being new here how do you insert images? FAQ didn't seem to help.

Welcome Ed,
A carb Ranger is what I also have and they work just fine in winter. I'm sure all carb machines are just a little different but mine starts without a choke unless it's below zero. I usually start mine without choking and then add a little to keep the revs up. Never ever choke it in warm weather unless it won't start.
BTW You'll love the Ranger

I have an 05 500 carb. I haven't had any problems. Down the road, if you want the power (or close to it) of a 700, it is much easier and cheaper with the carb than the efi.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. Hey Ya to all the Yoopers!
I was curious what any thoughts were on the price I paid, I thought it was a good deal at $7000. It is in really good condition with just minor scuffs.
Also I didn't want to go through the photo bucket to get a image on here but I do have a web site (just the pics currently) so how do I insert a url. There is a button on top but do you paste the url and hit the button or hit the button and paste the url?
Thanks

Sounds like a good deal to me.
As far as posting a url, you can just type it in or you can cut and paste it into your post. It will provide a link to click on automatically like this www.prcforum.com
