I'd at least have them pull the plugs and drain the block. I'll bet that machine can be made to run without issues. Change all your fluids and your good. Any hydraulics and fuel lines that are under pressure are probably untouched.
Glad too see no one was hurt.

The problem at this point is that it will sit in an impound yard until everything is paid up and squared away. The time to start the flushing and drying process was yesturday, it is possible that someone could still get it running but at a considerable investment, beyond the price at auction. Dan, you are taking the only road that will ensure you piece of mind. After it sits for a week or two or more, I would not touch this with a ten foot pole.
The process to rid an atv of a bath is easy but time consuming. Lots of things to drain and dry out and many, many fluid changes.
Dan, good luck shopping, I was going to say a RZR would be a nice replacement, but after looking at your setup, it would not have enough work in its blood for you. Glad you guys made it out and all is well, you now have quite a story to share.
