poping in rearend

Welcome to the forum, and stop riding it.

More than likely you have worn out bearings and the popping is the gears not meshing properly. Either that or the splines between the ring gear and axle, or axle and hub is slipping.

Disassemble NOW and see what things look like, and you might get by with new bearings and seals. If you keep riding it you'll have to replace gears too.

Where are you located?

Depends on what you end up needing. G&H discount ATV has just about anything you need.

If you just need bearings and seals for the rear diff, I would suggest BOSS bearings (they have a website).

Don't order anything until you've torn it down to see what all you need. A lot of this stuff is sold in "kits" so you don't want to order just bearings and then find you need the kit with bearings AND a ring and pinion.

Post back up with what you find when you take everything apart. If you need gears or other bits we can advise.

No, parts for 300's are still easy to find. SOME parts, if you want brand new OEM parts, are discontinued or expensive, but the aftermarket is HUGE and good used OEM parts are cheap.
