I sent a set of shocks to Mike Carver for a revalve/upgrade and am making a list of shit I want/need on the shelf now for spares or otherwise, before winter rolls in and there's another parts shortage.  

Anyone actually get their new 2022 sled(s) yet?

 

 

If ZR wasn't too busy listening to Korn whilst stuck with an empty end dump in a dry sugar beet field somewhere, he'd be sure you verbally insult you.

No clue, only been out there in the summer.

The way I'm looking at it, it is pretty much just as far as Houghton is for us and probably less crowded.

Rode out there about 20 years ago right after Christmas. Definitely a different kind of scenery and some pretty awesome trails. Found a few significant rocks with my steel skis back then but we had a blast. Actually planning a late season trip there this year too.

I am sure. Drive shaft is also bad in the sled. Shaft is spinning in the bearing. So I can say the belt drive did not hold up. with the shaft spinning in the bearing and the upper jack shaft bearing going out in two months it’s a high quality snowmobile

His pops paid for them. Loved the belt drive was the fault of the bearing, instead of his constsnt riding in mud. Fucking retard!

I have the green jack to match. But I bought the 4 ton and that thing is heavy dragging around. Harbor china had the 4 ton on a deal a while back so I grabbed one

Yep riding in mud 3 feet deep caused the jack shaft bearing to fail and the drive shaft to spin in the bearing. Which non of that is possible. It’s a high quality product that can’t make it more than 60 days with every thing falling apart

Wow it might have been able to lift my old Z1 turbo!

dropped the boat off at storage, brought the sleds home... they both started so we're winning so far.

found four idler wheels total on two sleds going buh-byeoh and am about to start throwing $ to Thomas Sno Sports instead of Country Cat based on this... sounds like the rubber on the cheap Amazon ones don't like to stay attached to the wheels.

I'm not having the Devil's Fire Water right now, or I'd make it a 12 pack minimum.

I'm thinking it'll be easier with the skid out to do that project.

At least the Cheetah fired right on up and idled great. Waiting for that one to spite out the drivers.

put Arctic Cat # 2604-799 into your search engine and be prepared to be shocked...

I got those for $3 each from AC website before Gregb spread it on FB and prices went way high. I suppose it's my fault for posting it here too

I should have ordered more. My cheap track was good

needed a set for the fohfohty but Dennis Kirk'd a pair. still have a pair of Cat slides in the attic for the five hundo and have vespels on the mod.

that said, quite a significant price increase vs $15-20 a couple years ago.

That is $41 for the pair. They are not a whole lot cheaper on DK for the Garland ones.

Completely read that wrong! $41 a slide is nuts.

I normally pick up cheap slides at Princeton or whatever I go to for swaps. I certainly didn't see any this year at Princeton or Haydays.

Someone finally took sympathy on you and pulled out the ole Tainternational from the dry beet field?
