Well today I removed the rear skid and disassembled it, I also removed the driveshaft and track. One of the drivers is pretty chewed up from something hitting it. I might have a spare around here.....

Yes I agree with you Kelly, I want to keep them as original as I can. It appears that this year had brackets bolted and riveted to the slide rails, and the following year they were cast as one piece. I am sure it was to reduce cost, both in materials and labor to assemble. I have included...

Here is the paint I have been using.... both aerosol and with a brush

I did increase the size of my pictures in the blogger Success! Thanks Kelly for the help once again

I use Berryman B12 carb choke and throttle body cleaner.....in a aerosol can, and a tooth brush or q-tips. It's the best carb cleaner I have found and it's available at many parts stores. Some carbs might take a soak but even as nasty as these were they cleaned up great in a few...

So the latest updates, I got the TXL carburetors cleaned up. The only thing that really worked, and worked well is Berrymans B12. That stuff works wonders!!! I ordered new needles &seats for the TXL just waiting for them to arrive. Pulled the primary clutch cover off, looks like weight...

Found the jet needle tonight, it was stuck in the jet in the bottom of the carburetor. I don't know what happened to the clip that is supposed to hold it in the slide, but at least it didn't get into the engine! Pictures added again hope you enjoy �&#65533...

We got a few more parts removed today from my TXL, carbs clutches exhaust and fuel pump. Things are pretty gummed up at the moment, but after a soak should be good to go. I actually had a brand new needle for the missing one on the TXL, it is in a artic cat bag so it has to be from my old...

Sometimes you have to pick up where you left off, or in my case start over with the same but different sleds. I found these local at a estate sale, parked in a barn since 1991 & 1997. Supposed to be one owner sleds. I let all my spare parts go with my last two so hopefully I don't need to hunt...

I don't know if there's any way to add cameras to the "Northwoods Camera Network " but here is a MDOT website link that is searchable, with the most recent view . Maybe John can add something from this page to the one for this website Kirk https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/MiDrive/cameras

Guys planning on coming up February 16-19. Want to ride but can’t find lodging near Newberry for Saturday night. We called Curtis and nothing is available there until Sunday either. We can’t get there until Saturday so we thought why not ride out from St Ignace if conditions are good enough...

Hi everyone, I am rebuilding a P-85 primary clutch and need to replace the bushing on the movable sheave and the bushing retainer. I understand it needs to be pressed out, or heated up, just wondering which way it needs to go? Out the bottom or in towards the towers? I have access to a press but...

Hey folks, i was wondering about putting a 2001 polaris 600 ves motor in a 2005 sled. I was told that the gearing for the oil pump and waterpump is different between the two, and the oil pump From the 2005 wont pump enough oil if i try to use it on the 2001 engine. I obviously want to keep the...

I know a few guys and gals on here have some tips and tricks they have tried. I have hasd good luck painting items, and I know some have not. I know Bradzoo likes the heat gun method, to bring back colors as well. I just recently heard about using boiled linseed oil, and the guy sent me a...

Ladies and gentleman, here is the start of my latest project for this upcoming winter. I rescued this little gem, or germ, (you can decide) that you see from a mosquito infested back yard from a gentleman this summer. I know its a little rough, and my plans are to fix the basics, upgrade the...

Hi all, After seeing the posts on here of all your projects and old school rides, I finally picked this up....... just in case I dont win the make-a-wish sled II. I have been helping a buddy with some of his old sleds, and with the lack of snow the last month, I have been going crazy. So here...

Hello all, I am planning a four day motorcycle trip around the UP, starting in St Ignace and headed clockwise thru Iron Mountain, up to Copper Harbor, down towards Munising, and over to Sault St Marie and back down to the Mighty Mac. Does anyone have recommendations for lodging, sights, or...

I have a 2004 switchback that the brake light does not work, neither the one on the dash or the one above the rear bumper. I tried changing the taillite bulb and still nothing. Anybody have any ideas? The wiring back by the bumper looks fine, and they are tight.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody has tried this stuff on there sled, and if so what were the results? It is marketed as a clear coat for plastic fiberglass and painted surfaces for motorcycles and ATV's to prevent mud and dirt from sticking. It says it dries completely and is water...

Just noticed on the trail cam for Towgotee a big Artic Cat semi trailer so they must be testing or producing the sales video....................
