Fireball 440 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Anyone ever order anything big from there? I've ordered some small stuff 12 or so years ago. I'm looking at this. New outer crank bearings, cylinders, and pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I've sourced the pars I can rebuild my engine for $1400 in parts and my labor and right now this is looking like a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Have you tried Ske's in Duluth yet? Good guy and his wife run that business. Tons of Ski doo parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I just drove by the place last week. I haven't bought anything there myself, but know many that have and have been happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I was hoping to do this quick like today quick because the wife is already tightening up the checkbook, worrying about doctor bills that haven't came yet. I told her sled comes first before doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Off to a great start. No reply from Al's Snowmobile. No reply from Ske's Snowmobile. No reply from Duncan Brothers. Trying to throw 2 grand away here..... nobody wants it. Wife is trying to tighten up the checkbook too. I was hoping to get this done IN/OUT. The longer it sits the more likely the next round of covid checks will have to cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up calling my local breaker yard and they are getting it from one of the others for the same price and no shipping cost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Still no response from any of the 3 inquiries. Wife want's to wait till after the 13th (getting taxes done), I think that's a horrible idea. The longer it sits the more likely I'll be tearing it down myself, in June.

Email you’ll get your answer when the sales guys are done dealing with walk-ins and callers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a phone call is the best course, but I was putting out feelers and I probably would have bit on any of the three who responded. Now, however, the wife has had a change of heart and has given up hope on getting back on the trail this season so.... hopefully sooner rather than later.

Ya that’s kinda what I thought. unfortunately sales people take calls as serious and emails as strokers from my experience. I can’t blame them I do the same when I sell something online if you aren’t calling you can’t be that serious about buying whatever it is I’m selling. It’s always the wives that ruin the fun isn’t it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Bought a complete electric start kit for the wife’s old sled from them. Great to deal with and I will do so again, if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cact34r Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I just bought a new helmet from them about 3 weeks ago on an eBay listing. I had it within 4 days. We had some back and forth after and they generally responded to eBay messages within 24hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
