Got to the cabin this weekend and pulled the sled out of the truck and tipped on side to replace carbides and discovered this. No idea when it happened, sometime last year, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever taken on the job of replacing these on their own. Sled is fully insured so I can get...

All, Last spring I put a 2011 Polaris 600 engine into my sons 2010 600. My son has been riding it the last couple of days and it saying it doesn't idle sometimes, will just quit, and he has to hold the throttle open to start it. I didn't change ECU or anything. Does anybody know if the ECU would...

I have a 2013 Sportsman 500 that I was adding handwarmers to. Got them all wired in, used the power and ground connected to the 12 volt auxilary plug as my power source. Hooked the wiring up to the switch before i actually drilled the hole and mounted the switch to make sure it worked...

Got my daughter moved off to college over Labor Day weekend. She's going to UW Madison, Go Bucky, and is taking a hybrid major of Math/Physics/Engineering. Way out of my league! It was tough leaving her behind but she's going to conquer the world.

Snowing hard in the Duluth area. Got a solid 3” on the ground already. Crazy!

As I tore into the old 2010 600RMK engine after it blew up it was obvious it needed more than a new top end. Had a chunk of cylinder wall broken off that got ground up in the crank, took out an injector and punched a hole in the bottom of the crankcase. Started pricing out all the parts I was...

Trails were excellent today. Did hear that they will not be grooming south of Finland any more which is to bad. Shout out to Ski Roule. My daughter had to stop and take a picture of the red rocket turning over 5555 miles. Man that thing has been dependable. All I’ve done since we’ve owned it...

Blew up my son's 2010 600 RMK this weekend. Looks like gonna need a new jug. Where's the best spot to get one of those. The guy here in Duluth where I could get remanufactured ones is no longer an option. Thanks!

Survived our trip to Utah. We had a fantastic time, stayed at Beaver Creek Lodge in Logan Canyon. They are the best hosts and take great care of their guests, couldn't recommend it enough. We rode for 3 days and were making first tracks all day every day. The last day on Saturday we had so much...

Myself and some friends are heading for Utah tomorrow morning. Been planning the trip since about September. Just like our last trip out there, we fly and rent. Going to Beaver Creek Lodge in Logan Canyon right up on the Utah/Idaho border. They have been getting just dumped on and are supposed...

Had a great weekend up at the cabin. Found deep snow and lots of stucks. Trails were perfect and even better was nobody was around! Trent stuck Andrew stuck Just hanging out, beautiful day Me stuck Beautiful sunset

On my wifes RMK the speedo is acting crazy. Says its doing 50 at idle, the max speed says 150, and its added a 1000+ miles to the odometer (not happy about that). I rode it from the shed to the trailer and put on 4 miles in 100 yds. Did some research and everything is pointing to the speed...

So as somebody mentioned in my previous post it sounds like a Griswold family vacation. Well it got even better today. We got about 4-5” of snow overnight and headed up the state trail towards Lutsen/Devils track area. We were stopped right where the trail crosses Sawbill trail outside of Tofte...

So we were heading up to Finland Saturday morning and rolling thru Duluth. Just under the 21st at bridge on I35 the rear end of the truck lost traction and went sideways. I was fighting that sucker for a couple hundred yrs with a loaded 4 place trailer behind me all over the freeway. I even said...

Got up to cabin and there’s a ton of snow here. Running the ditches into town both kids were stuck. Local trails around Finland are not yet being groomed, supposed to be groomed on Monday. Today we went north and rode forest roads, great riding.

I know I should post this in the ATV section but this area gets much more visibility. I am reassembling a Sportsman 500HO engine and am wondering what the torque should be for the cylinder head bolts. If anybody knows I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi everybody. The company I work for, Altec, is growing quickly in the Duluth location and we are looking for welders, machinists, hydraulic/electrical/general assembly positions along with engineering and supervisory positions. We make high reach aerial work platforms (bucket trucks). Go to...

Had another great weekend riding out of the cabin near Finland. Weather was perfect! Snow was deep, we had plenty of stucks and tons of fun. The only casualty was one A-Arm on a friends sled. The coolest part of the ride is when we were on some fire roads up by Isabella i came around a corner...

OK, Now I have some pictures that are oriented correctly. Deep snow riding on some forest roads Looking down the MooseWalk trail on Sunday, First tracks in 14" of snow My son found a deep spot in this shot Another of my son stuck And my wife even got in on the fun of being stuck. I dug...

My son and I spent yesterday riding between Finland and Tofte on the trails, rivers, and forest roads and we found a lot of snow. Over waist deep in many spots. Then to top it off we got 10" more last night. Sorry for the rotated pictures, I did this from my phone and didn't know how to...
