finally got all the repairs on the sled done this week. Replaced the rear axle, spacer shaft, inner rear idler wheel, plastic spacer bushing, idler wheel bearings, and new woody's carbides on the skis. Finished up this morning and checked the track alignment. Sled turned over great. track ran straight and no squeaking. Ran her across the driveway with no problems.

All we need now is some snow. smile.gif

Just booked a 4 day trip to the UP for Presidents weekend. Watching the snow falling on Friday morning deer hunting got me got me pretty worked up to pull the sleds out.

Hope we have a better winter around here this year.

Sleds came out of storage last night, boats will be put away shortly, Deer season is pretty much over so it's time to start thinking SNOW and ICE FISHING....... laugh.gif

Shouldn't have too much to fix since I didn't put too many miles on last year !

Anyone ever been to Revelsoke B.C. snowmobiling? A few guys are talking about making the journey this year, 22 plus hours one way crazy.gif but it should be worth it, if you have any tips, let me know, otherwise I'm sure a early trip to Montana will be in order.

hitman the sled was "gently used" when I bought it last year. The rear idler wheel bearing seized up and the rear axle shaft must have bent when it got hot. I replaced the whole rear end for about $60 in parts. Of course you would have known this if you read this board more often tongue.gif

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
