  • in this video we swap out the track on our buddy D-Rons F1000! we've never done this before on a sled with Diamond drive so it's a learning curve for both of us lol. I gotta say though...it was way easier than I expected it to be!! we also take it for a bit of a test rip and put a new ULTIMAX belt on it! thanks to ‪@UltimaxBelts‬ we really appreciate all the support and subscribers to our channel and everyone going to our website www.rednecks-dirtyhands.com cheers 🍻

    Hey now, those F-1000’s were awesome for their time. My brother had a 2007, and it was awesome to ride. Not many sleds were competing with it. It was the baddest sled around in my area. He has a crossfire 1000 now, which is my favourite sled of all time. It’s such a good looking sled. 😂

    • @richardcollins7351
      @richardcollins7351 Před 5 měsíci

      Really. I had one and its the Barney sled for looks. Plus the diamond drive was a piece of crap. Its the sled that made me switch to skidoo after being a die hard AC guy.

    • @Triple87
      @Triple87 Před 5 měsíci

      @@richardcollins7351 It’s definitely not the best looking sled out there, that’s for sure. But my brothers was solid. He never had to do anything to it outside of regular maintenance, and replaced an A arm after he smoked a rock he didn’t see. 😂
      It ran great. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Love diamond drives. Makes it so much easier to swap tracks. I can do it in a little less than an hour on my 2011 Crossfire . What you did worked but I like leaving the caliper bolted in. Just take the big nut off the driveshaft and push the driveshaft towards the diamond drive side. Love your video's man!!

    My first sled was a 2008 LXR version of that same sled. Kind of a tank and she didn’t dangle with the 1” track. Was fast for its time and did a great job of vibrating your filling loose. Like to say it was a nice one but it was kind of a couch

    Should of went one step further and loosened that skinny nut off on the calliper side. Pull the shaft out of the housing and had a look at the bearing. Would not have taken long. Having two Cats with Diamond Drives and as far as I’m concerned they worked great. Just the secondary clutch needed aftermarket things to make them work right.

I had an auto body shop for almost 40 years I stopped buying from Napa like 10 years ago they’re super rip offs all the business I gave them they never gave me a good break on any parts, I had a part I needed for a Chevy truck. They want $550 for it. I got it on Amazon for like $135 .

    Stud spun out, thats normal when you use a rattle gun to loosen nuts and bolts instead of a wrench. Rattle guns are ok but they will always spin out a stud when you cant get or it's very hard to get anything on the back.
    If you are not keeping the track to put on another machine, just cut it instead of fighting to get it off, save the fight to get the new one on

    Those twin spar chassis are not the prettiest. I had a 2009 Z1 Turbo that lost a secondary. After I found out they didn't make them anymore and there was 1 new one in the country for a small fortune, I decided to sell it after I found a used one to replace it. I think replacement parts will be their long-term Achilles heal. I heard you can't get anything new for the DD anymore.
