Ice Scratchers (help!!!)


LakeTahoe

Recommended Posts

I am trying to find a place that sells these in the cities, but can't find any one!

Does anyone know where I could locate these...

Here is a link that sells them but I need them by Saturday and don't want to pay a bunch of shipping charges...

(http://www.holzracingproducts.com/oscommerce/product_info.php?products_id=141&osCsid=3b83b2db94dc33f04c7ceae8e93e1017)

CAN ANYONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION...

THANKS

I don't believe Dennis Kirk sells this product, but I don't have my '06 catalog in front of me.

Ice scratchers attach to the suspension of the sled and dig into the snow to kick up snow to cool the radiators under the tunnel and to lube the hyfax.

LT - with this weather do you really need the scratchers by the weekend? They seem to work when there is extreme hard pack snow or ice. The temps are pretty warm, snow is soft and fresh snow on the way. wink.gif

I've ran with sleds on the trail that had these scratchers last year. The trails were rock hard and my 2 sleds didn't have any issues, but the thick lug track sleds (1"+ lugs) needed scratchers because the hard snow wasn't cooling the engine/lubing the tracks on those sleds.

I don't know where to order other than that HSOforum you found.....

Thanks for all the replies! I found them in St Paul at Bob's Cycle Supply.... they have just about everything and CHEAP!! I don't really need the ice scratchers now with snow, but I installed them anyways, just so I am prepared for next time.

ok...so i have a stupid question....if you install these ice scratchers can you no longer ride on paved trails, similiar to studs?? Just curious if anyone knows thanks in advance.

I don't believe that is the case. You can move the scratchers up and out of the way when you don't need them. They are then sitting on top of the rails if I remember correctly.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
