Ah, I've looked at the whole movie now and I see that they are talking a lot about the passion and heart of the people that worked with Cat.

Let's hope they have found it again when they present the new sled at Haydays, they need something "Cat", i:e unique and clever that the other brands don't have.

Just skimmed through but I don't see any Firecats? To me they were a BIG success.

Ah, I'll remove the exhaust and see what I can see.. 

This is bliss, riding along powerlines and stopping at a shelter for short pause.

Arctic Cat JAG Z. Rear suspension removed and all the wheels are getting new grease or bearings if they can't be saved. Skid was in better shape than I thought.

Next up, front suspension. Any suggestion how I can remove the rear bolt on the lower A-Arms without removing the engine or bellypan? Otherwise I remove the spindles and mask and paint the arms without removing them.

Longing for winter! This is an old picture, the road was like 4 feet to the left of the skitips, I got stuck in the ditch!

Something cat-like, I miss the days when all models had catrelated names.

CLAWS

But what should it stand for?

The machine responsible for my nickname.

A little trip to the "Wafflecabin" today, some retro machines there this weekend, but last weekend there was around 150 retro machines there! Sadly I missed it.
A nice pair of Machs came, a 1 and a Z, we heard them for some time before we saw them, nice sound.
Season is ending here where I live, but if I travel for one hour up into the "Fjälls" it is rideable for almost two more months.

My ZR700 -94 had shims like that, don´t know why. They show up on the "ENGINE AND RELATED PARTS" fiche on arcticcatpartshous though,
description says "Shim, Engine Mount - 0.060 in." and "Shim, Engine Mount - 0.030 in." Maybe they are there to be placed between the rubbermount and the chassies if needed?

From sunday, a trip around home.

Maybe the looks will grow on me, but right now they just looked like.. yeah, what do they look like?

They are thinking they need to take their orders now and get parts on order from their suppliers.  Smart planning on their part.  This isn't Polaris we are talking about here.

Maybe the will offer -23s for the people that haven´t got them yet? That way they don´t have to build those -22s...

I was planning on a retro-trip today with the Arctic Cat, but the Cat didn´t want that, it protested firmly with a puddle of gas on the ground...
So I took the other cat for a trip then, the Lynx. After a while it started blowing and the sky turned grey, but of course it cleared up as soon as I got home!

Not so much snow, trails are a bit icy. But is falling down fluff, maybe tomorrow it's better conditions.

Exactly what I'm waiting for.

Lynx has it already 👍

Lynx XTerrain RE 900 ACE Turbo R (there is a name to rival Polaris 850 RMK KHAOS 146 SLASH Matryx)

Usually a speedometer not working is an indication that your track shaft bearing is bad.  When it goes bad it will break the little 2" cable section between the shaft and the speedo adapter.  If it has all balls bearings in it, it's probably bad.  Those are the cheapest shittiest China bearings.

The bearings was recently changed by previous owner, so maybe the speedo was broken already then..

It´s alive! MOOAHAHAHAHA! Hrm. First run for the season and I got to test the JAG Z i bought before christmas.
Faster than I though it would feel, and that was after a hour-long trip on the Lynx 850!
Speedometer not working so I have no idea how fast I went, felt like 200 mph since it is so low. :-D

First run for the season, lots of snow in the trees in the woods, sometimes it´s like driving through a tunnel

Ah, I see now, how come I didn´t see that the tanks differ totally? Thanks! I´ll see if I can stop the order.

That is the plan, I started removing them the other night.  On the inside of the tunnel they have a thin piece of metal that is also held in place by those rivets... Makes it miserable to drill. 

I get a kick at the amount of rivets they use in these old sleds. lol and the bracket for that jack shaft bearing, some one worse at welding than me gobbed that together lol   

I remember when I tore apart the ZR700 I had, I used a chiesel to cut the heads of the rivets off, and then you could just punch them out the other side. Drilling loose rivets is a bitch, the just spin!

Found this "plow" on the internet..
