I have to say look like you have pretty nice property and nice home sweet garage and look like you dont have close neighbors either. Great video
Running very well with weights being changed.
Thanks.
Loved watching you guys get stuck.. Terrific video..
Awesome! Thank you!
Now all you need to have is a fancy clutch spring tester to measure start and finish spring rates
The second I saw the subtitle, I knew it was Dennis that put his sled in the cattails.
Greg was the one that really sunk his sled in the cat tails.
Let's see a video of that ski doo and how it is set up!
OK. I will do that. It's really a cool sled.
Love hearing the TXL on full song for long pulls!!! Field OR ditch!
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
I didn't realize u guys were in a field, thought it was a lake until u said field... what a cool place to be able to open her up.. love watching ya do secondary by hand, old school..most now make or buy a tool, not nutter, he just grabs darn thing, twist and squeeze and tells ya to unbolt it!!!! Ty for video!! Made my morning coffee even better
It's good to be friends with the farmer :) Glad you liked it!
I immediately recognized that primary clutch.. Late in the winter of 1972, Skidoo had bought rights from Polaris to use them on certain high performance models.. I remember them being very susceptible to belt dust and required frequent cleaning...and this clutch became known as the orange clutch for pretty obvious reasons. 🤣
Great video guys! Really like the info you shared on measuring the taper along with the "X" to ensure alignment when putting spring in! Thanks!!
I recall one Christmas break in the early 80's, no snow except on the lake edges- my freinds had a wide track Evinrude that was the only thing that would blaze those trails in the cat tails! Until the air inlet got clogged with fluff. Had to stop and clear that on occasion.
Love it....I miss my 84 indy triple...rippen flat out on a open Field
Holy Cattails Batman! Lol. They’ve been known to swallow the odd sled now and then. That was funny! Your TXL sounds great! They’re such a good motor 👍
Dennis’ TX seems fairly happy, but maybe a little groggy on the hole shot? Too much helix at the initial start maybe, or are you running the stock straight 34?
I’m surprised about you not torquing the clutch 🤷🏼♂️ you’re usually pretty fussy about things. I agree though that I’ve never had one come off or slip either. As for the secondary, maybe you could do a demo on how much tension to use by using a fish scale? Some people may not know about that. I usually go between 7-12lbs depending on what I’m trying to do
Thanks Rob. Dennis sled is pretty peppy off the line in person. I never use a fish scale on the secondary. I just go by feel. and then I drive it and see how it behaves.
Lol wow I never see a snowmobiles going 4X4 wheeling before
Love the cat tail scene. This is my kind of riding.
Hey I was looking to reclutch my 05 900 rmk for here in eastern south dakota and looking for some ideas as far as weights and spring options.
Got to get those skis on top of the snow before you try to punch through it.. when in doubt don't spare the ponies give it more gas !
Nice long pull in the field! Stay out of the cattails lol nice clutch work
Interesting on the primary torque. I pull cluthes all the time to change weights for going out west and then back riding in Michigan. I have had mine slip before. I always clean the PTO shaft inside of clutch with a rag with some brake clean now and torque to 80ft/lbs like manual says. Then after runnning it I retorque. This is on an 800HO though.
Interesting, but these old sleds use a 7/16-20 grade 5 bolt. 40ft-lbs of torque. I've seen many people break them off from over torquing. Never seen one slip on these old sleds.
That clutch has way better component so should last forever on a low hp application like that.
Why could you not use the puller from the same masheen as what the clutch came from?
Why would I not use the puller I have?
Not trying to be a smartass just for my own reference. I have the puller for the newer clutch so just wanted to know if i could use that. Dont have a lathe.
@@happyindeed6392 No worries. I don't know if the other puller would work right or not. I'm just showing the tried and true formula that I have been doing for years.
Yea haaw...
How long did it take y'all to realize hes petting a black dog and not haveing a seizure 😂
