It's a good thing I am single cuz I just bought a 5600 to add to my collection or perhaps that is why I am single. I already have a Voyager a 6800 and a Shapple 4000 but it was too good to pass up.My question is will a Youkon connector work between the 6800 and the 5600 ?? Are the holes the same size on the different models ?? The connectors are hard to find but I know where there some Youkon ones left. Also can I connect the Voyager to the 5600 ??

I believe there are "Portable Annyomous Support Sections = PASS" groups out there to help you in your time of need... Wink!!!

I am down to one and that is plenty good. Amazingly if you buy a well build portable they hold their value way more than I had thought. They are cool but the new one always takes over and the older ones become a monkey on your back unless your lifting them or have a pole-shed to store them in. A porty should never be left to just sit over the need to hoard. Then again when I sold off my first flip-over style porty bought back in 97, with others in the garage and a new one waiting to be assembled, I have to admit I had second thoughts right before the new owners loaded it up. My very first porty (non flip style) that weighed under 200lbs was a Shappelle suitcase style with skies. Never could bring my self to sell even to friends. Well, come to find 10 years went by and decided to see if she still had enough to be raised. The material was so dry rotten and families of mice had came and went, she lost many years of making someone else happy. frown

Just sold my first auger I had ever bought new the other week. Went to someone who will put it to good use and take care of it. Now that was tough. cry

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
