Yes - Ron Ward, we met at the sled show in Toronto last Fall. Nice guy. Even with the BOP bearing - by the time you ship it and convert the money - it starts to get pricey. If it doesnt work in 2-4 yrs time, and I have to buy another $400 shaft - the Hi Tech bearing is the better solution. Time...

I have the Barn of Parts drive shaft with the longer collar and set screws. Last year was not a good season to really test it - as it was way too short. But checking it this spring it did not move. Check this product out. Its a guy in Nova Scotia that machined this solution: Hi Tech Mechanical...

PM me your cell or email and i can zap some pics MS

For my Nytro - I purchased rubber shovel mounts that you would see on a 4x4 or jeep. Found them on amazon. There were two, and a small bolt through the side of the tunnel secured them. They held the handle. Then i used a BCA shovel sheath that i had sit on top of the seat at the back. Worked...

Did you make sure the two top gears were pushed together right when reinstalling. Something may be loose in there. Ms

This is gonna be an ‘easy’ fix or a ‘not so easy’ fix. -On the ‘easy’ side- is the loose track rubbing on the front skid arm - on the steel guide on the top? Like slapping on it. - any chance (assuming it’s a 137) you didn’t install the rear shock carrier properly and it’s dragging on the...

Thin coat - no gobs or drips. That stuff means business- it sets quick and is a bugger when it comes time to disassemble MS

As for the brake - I have got in the habit of just splitting the caliper when messing with the drive bearing. Something that helped me immensely was pulling the brake handle and wiring it to the bar. That way the fluid doesnt drain out of the line while its apart for a few hours or days. It is...

All those areas are pretty much annual 'checks'. These sleds are capable of logging some good miles, but all these areas need to be checked constantly. My friend let his upper gear go for 2 seasons, things were so sloppy that the reverse chain appears to have jumped a tooth and got on top of...

When my sled was new - the turbo made a very distinct whine on shut down. Not a smooth whistle, almost gnawing sound. It was definitely noticeable. Having not been around turbos I didnt think much of it, until my sled was beside my friends Winder, which was dead silent on shut down by...

For sure - mine were all wonky, but better to have them vs tossing ms

i took mine off with the heat gun and then taped them to a page i keep with the manual in the event it is ever needed. MS

Overtime the grease will get beat up - oil will likely work its way in, diluting the grease over time. When i have serviced this bearing I would pack the splines with heavy grease before reinserting the assembly. It helped dampen the noise and keep the metallic sound down - for a bit. This kit...

Skies the limit - I use the Up North Technologies rack and use the Linq system for fuel cans. Works flawless. MS

I have had a few stub assembly's out and they can corrode in some areas - around the inner housing and even in the inner part of the shaft with the splines (like your pic). Take some time while its apart and clean them up with a small wire brush. On the housing, i used the grinder with wire...

The lower end of rear shock in the 137 is held up by two brackets - a carrier of sorts. When you have the skid out it can flop down, before you install you must make a point to ensure its perched up holding the shock high- not low

Love the pic MS

Also -when reinstalling, I pressed the bearing into the housing. Then pressed the housing (with bearing) onto the shaft. MS

It has to be pressed on in the proper order. Make sure the orientation of the seal is correct as its magnetic (dont put it on backwards). If my memory serves me - i used two 1/2" plates when reassembling to sandwich things when putting on. MS

Spoke to a friend of mine who has several ski doo sleds - all within 3 yrs. He has had battery issues on all of them and had them replaced. They were YUSA batteries. Makes you wonder if there has been a design change or a flaw. My battery is from 2018 and is still strong as ever. MS
