How to setup Pak- Sled

Ryan,

You will find that is a great little sled when there is snow on the ice that the other larger sleds are breaking through....the paksled will skim over the top.

Glad you figgured it out.. I will give you a little tip. I took a very dull knife(butter knife) and scored where the sled is supposed to bend(dont press too hard so as to go through the sled, but enough to help it bend in the areas it is supposed to.).. That seemed to work best for me.

Ok, I'll bite on this or ask the stupid question but what is a pack sled? I know what it does but not sure what one really looks like? Is it just a plastic sled that you pick up at FF or FM like an Otter Tub stile sled?? Or am I missing something? Sorry just not sure what one looks like or if some one has a picture.

Again stupid question but I'm sure I'm not the only one wonder what one looks like?

Meat-Run--- I'm hte only one allowed to ask stupid questions around here.. LOL grin.gif

Yours is not a stupid question... The Pak Sled is a sled that Nature Vision makes. It is made of ultra light weight plastic and folds up into a tube when not being used to take up less space. So, you could fit a PakSled and a PakShak in the trunk of a car if needed. Go to Naturevisioninc.com and see the ice fishing products, I would be willing to bet they have a pict of a Pak Sled on their site.

Thanks for the tip Deitz!

I really like the Pak-Shack so far. seems very versitile and mobile! I should be able to get out at my lakecabin this weekend because it is on a small shallow lake in NW Wisconsin which should have enough ice by the weekend to walk out with one of these with my buddy. I hope we can get out! I gotta cure the itch...

Later,

Ryan

    • 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.
    • 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.
