Vehicle Information
John Deere Trail Buck 500 ATV (2004-2005)
The John Deere Trail Buck 500, produced from 2004 to 2005, is a robust utility vehicle powered by a 498 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke Rotax engine. It features a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with high/low range and reverse, and utilizes a Mikuni carburetor. During these years, the Trail Buck 500 was offered as a singular model, without distinct sub-trims. A significant technical nuance concerns the valve configuration. The 2004 model featured an Overhead Valve (OHV) engine. For 2005, while some specifications still mention OHV, other sources, particularly for the closely related Buck 500 Auto, indicate a Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) configuration. This suggests a potential change or variation in the valvetrain design for the 2005 model year, although information for the Trail Buck 500 specifically can be contradictory. FAQ:
