Fixing hole in sled???

[Coach1310]

I have an old Eskimo Quickflip II and it has a hole in the bottom of the sled. With all this snow, it really collects as I pull it. Is there anyway to fix the whole?? I would say the hole is about as big around as a tennis ball. Thanks for any help!!

Ouch! That's a big hole. Sounds like you should have had some runners on the bottom. That, or you've definitely gotten your use out of that sled.

For a hole that size, you may need to do an inside patch with some kind of plexiglass, plastic sheeting or possibly even sheet metal. Then get some snowmobile wear strips to mount on before you wear out your whole sled.

Coach, Know anyone in the Auto body business? Most all of 'em are doing plastic welding these days and they should be able to help you out. Phred52

Find some thick plastic laying around and cut it to fit and then get some JB weld and throw that round the cracks. Let it harden and your good to go. I use to do landscape and do fix plastic wheelbarrows we would use that and it would be almost better then knew until we dropped a 500lb rock in there but I don't think you will be doing that to your sled.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the info. I have gotten my use out of the sled that is for sure. I bought it the first year Eskimo made them and with 30 outings of so a year...not to mention drags over concrete ramps, gravel parking lots, dropping off the tailgate of the truck instead of carefully lifting it out.... it was bound to happen. It has been there a while, but without snow the last couple of year it didn't pose much of a problem. Thanks for the tips.

I'd rivet some plastic on the inside of the sled will probably hold up better then JB weld. I love JB but it may not bond to the plastic very well
