M-10 FRA Assembly - Now with pics

[Boomer]

I've got the new M-10 in the garage just about ready to install in my RX.
Only problem, it is a brand new skid, but I bought it off ebay and when I got it, someone had removed the entire FRA assembly. (OK - I'm going to get that settled with the seller, or cause them a lot of pain, but that's another matter.)
I contacted FAST and great people that they are they overnighted me the parts to put it together. The problem is the little tiny schematics at the back of the owners manual are kind of hard to read, and I can't find any detailed pictures to go by. Does anyone have any close-up photos (inside and outside) of the FRA assembled on their sled they can post or send me, or a larger version of the schematic (that is legible) that I can use. There are about 25 pieces including bolts, brackets, rods and o-rings, but I want to make sure it goes together correctly.

Not that I'm going to be using the sled anytime soon. stupid weather!!!!

Upon further review, I'm not sure what kind of M-10 I have. I have some kind of FRA adjuster that I've never seen before. I have some kind of hydraulic adjuster with an adjustment knob between the allen head screw and track adjustment bolt as pictured in the #2 picture. The rest of the assembly is shown in picture #1. This adjuster does move the bottom shock forward and back by turning the adjustment know. I've just never seen this type of FRA before on any other M-10's. Any idea what kind of M-10 I have. I'm totally puzzled.

Looks like m10 "JACK" you should have a lttle handle to stick on the shaft that you can see in your last pic and be able to move the rear shock mount back and forth to suit your riding.It allmost looks to be a factory m10 out of a polaris,but its hard to tell.

You are correct. I always thought the Jack was a little accessory piece that adjusted the stock FRA. Now I'm psyched. I got a better skid than I thought. It was pretty easy to install too, considering I did it myself. I swear getting the stock skid out is much harder than putting the M-10 in.

Thanks everyone for all the input!!!!

i agree with steve.

I think the jack was a 300.00 upgrade when I was looking at them for my polaris.

Glad you got the skid in Dale. That M-10 jack is a nifty piece. Really saves you time when you are out adjusting on the trails. Got any pics with the new skid in? You are REALLY going to enjoy the M-10 over the stocker...guaranteed!

Boomer---I had the JACK on my Blade, make sure you do not keep turning the handle once the piston is at full extension or retracted, you WILL screw up the gears inside. Just in case.
