  • Changing a trailing arm mount seems like it would be pretty easy with the belly pan off, but we take the hard way and do it with minimal disassembly. Plus some tune ups and test hits!

    Love the TXLs, first run in with one i was 12, had a John Deere cyclone 440, neighbor guy brought home a 81 txl indy, I thought as a 12 yr old I was gonna blow the doors off that thing with my big 440 lol man all I seen was snow dust and he was gone!! I swear that sled did all of 90 to 100 mph.. been in love with em ever since, I'm 41 😂

      I saw the adds for the 1980 TXL Indy in the Fall of 1979 and I have never been the same :)

    hey, also I’ve been watching you since day one and yes CZcams, hands-down is unsubscribing you and there’s no pattern.
    Put it politely I’m upset about it

    I live in the lake champlain Islands of Vermont. We had some snow. I ride about 250 miles three rides. The trails are now closed for the year! Glad to see you are still bringing the snowmobile content

    Definitely the least amount of rivets to deal with only doing the bottom piece of the footrest assembly only. Nice work on the nose pan too, patience and the porta power sure go a long way! Should move the temp gauge to between the speedo and tach, otherwise looking great for something that was destined for the scrap pile, good survivor now indeed.

    Another great video. I hope to see sled videos all summer. Great learning .

  • @markfriemoth2362
    @markfriemoth2362 Před 3 měsíci +1

    hey Nutter boys, you should’ve removed the whole foot rest
    There’s less rivets, holding the whole complete foot rest in place then there is in that little bracket you removed. I was taught that 30 years ago when that machine was new.

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  Před 3 měsíci +1

      we though about doing it that way.

    • @markfriemoth2362
      @markfriemoth2362 Před 3 měsíci +1

      yeah, it comes factory altogether. I’ve had to do it twice but one thing for sure. It’s a hell of a lot easier that way.

    Cheers guys 🍻
    Brad with a sleeveless t shirt in March! Ridiculous!
    I say keep the TXL pipe, I don’t think that’s the bog issue, you’re likely right about it being the clutch and unhealthy motor I’m thinking
    Clean the carbs 🍻🍻🍻

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  Před 3 měsíci

      That clutch is junk, but we will get that and the motor freshened up over the Summer and I'm sure it will be a ripper when we are done.
      The TXL pipe sounds too good to lose. And we know it works great on Lonnie's TX (L) .

    • @IndyGuyRob
      @IndyGuyRob Před 3 měsíci

      Like you were saying, it’s too bad you guys didn’t try a different clutch on there just to prove it out🤷🏻‍♂️. Even the one off the Grape Ape or Walnuts would have been good
      Cheers 🍻

      It's called a "Bucket Head". I got it at Home Depot.
