Woodtick Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 28 minutes ago, Tomas. said: This thing only has 1160 miles on it. It has a few scratches and dings from a barbed wire fence apparently and a rip on the rear part of the seat but other than that it is really good shape. I am pretty sure it is the original factory track and it is mint. Between buying it and doing some work to it when I got it, I am around $2500 usd into it. The bearings should still be good,but for peace of mind and given the age of the sled, I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like from bdx that the bearing kit and seals are $200 cad with shipping. it is the brass shims to look at on the planetary when they are missing or almost gone then the planetary is about to go . that reverse DD was a mistake the pre reverse and the motor reverse were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately gravity was working in his favor on the pull. this was the spot it happened, we stopped and it froze up. cold as hell that day Edited November 10, 2019 by Angry ginger 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pulled the plug on the DD, there was some metal flakes on the magnet. So I flushed it out and put some fresh full synthetic ATF and will check it more often. If it continues or gets worse well that will suck lol. Other than that it was pretty much mint. Added a little grease, checked the plugs. Only thing left after that was to tear up the lawn lol Is that what the DD/Cat recommend, ATF? I've heard of people using it before but always wondered why? Never have I used it, always gear lube in the 75W-90 synthetic variety either from Mobil-1, Amsoil severe gear or Pennzoil gear lube. I change it annually, adjust the chain slack and drive on. Never had a chain case issue ever, but I haven't managed a lot of miles either in the last 15+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had a 09 m8 5 years ago, someone on these forums recommended full synthetic ATF. So that is what I have been using. It is a planetary gear set instead of a silent chain on two sprockets. I have been running Polaris chain case oil in my Polaris switchback because I couldn't find reliable info on a good alternative by googling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like what is in a transmission so maybe/likely that is why the ATF is recommended? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
