Snowmobile Track Swap

[Big-Al]

I need a track swapped on my 97 Polaris Indy Trail, and don't think I want to undertake it myself.  Does anyone know of any local (Duluth/Range) backyard mechanic that would be a good option for this task?  What should I expect for hours of labor?  (I know, that is a tough one...)  I am cross posting on the Equipment Expert Info forum but don't see much activity here.

I just changed a drive shaft in my Arctic Cat ZL 440 which is what you have to remove to swap tracks. Probably about a 1.5 to 2 hour job if you know what to do and don't do them all the time. Unless you run into bad bearings you only need chain case lube and maybe a new gasket. Not sure you will save much with back yard mechanic VS someone that's knows exactly what to do and what to inspect when its apart.

Big-Al  did you ever find someone to get this track on and are you all ready to ride now?  It's coming.
