All Wheel Drive (AWD) works with a BROKEN speedometer | Tricking a Polaris Sportsman

I'm getting my 2005 Polaris Sportsman back into working order after a mishap lead me to broken speedometer cluster. I tried to use my ATV as long as I could but not having the all-wheel drive (AWD) has turned out to be a real pain. After much searching and investigating, I found that a replacement speedometer cluster was far too expensive and so I ended up utilizing this simple trick. Today I'll show you exactly what I did for my Polaris Sportsman to allow the all-wheel-drive to engage even without the speedometer functioning. This sure makes things a lot easier around here as I can save a few bucks and get my ATV back into functional form. Just a disclaimer however; I am no mechanic and so whatever you see in this video should be taken for entertainment value only. Try what you see here at your own risk. Thanks for watching everyone, here we go!
