New to the Wolverine - Please advise

What's up everyone, first time atv owner here, but long time gear head and race car junky. I just bought a wolverine today and I just found out its a 96-2000. It needs a lot of small work, but I do need some help. I would like to list some things and if you guys can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.


Rear Swing Arm bushings
Front Ball Joints
New front rack
Rear Caliper Assembly (everything but the rotor)
Also where is the serial number at?


Tires, what came stock on them? Right now there are 25x10x12 on the back and 25x8x12 on the front. I think they are aftermarket wheels. What's the widest and tallest tire anyone has put on them?


Also how fast have you all gone on these? It seems pretty quick, but we need to clean the carb out. My dad has a 2003 Suzuki Ozark 250 and my brother an 89 Moto 4 250, both 2WD. Should I be able to keep up with them? We clocked the Ozark around 51 and the Moto 4 around 49.


Anyways I appreciate all input and where to buy these parts. I would love to ride it next weekend. Like I said new to the ATV world so I have no clue where to go.


Thanks again for your time!
Phil
