I bought myself an x-mas present. 16"x154"x1.6 Ice Cobra for my 600 ACE. It has factory installed ice picks in the lugs. Lets see if I can get 11,000 miles out of this track like my original one. Ill also be changing out all bearings in my gearbox, the drive sprocket, new brake pads and hyfax. With my permanent job its hard trying to work, trap and make time for family! I have a date with my 600 ACE on Sunday for some surgery!
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!

I installed my new track, new skiis, new drive shaft bearings, newer secondary clutch, new oil filter and changed my oil. I think Im going to break trail this weekend and see how she runs. I probably wont make sets for a few more weeks but Im planning on making a line here in a few weeks after I move to a day shift schedule. Im hoping to break the 16,000 mile mark by the end of the season. we'll see what happens. I do a lot of traveling by myself, and I have been lucky to not get hung up in overflow yet. I did however add a few tools to my arsenal this winter. The snatch block is rated to 22,000 lbs! a little over kill, but I figured I can use it for my Argo in the summer time also.

Good to see you got it up and running!!! I did this the other day......nothing like rolling along at the furthermost point of your line hearing metal pop and rub on your track! Limped her home, pick up the parts tomorrow and should be a easy fix. I have know idea how a bolt could have gotten sheared, I am far from a speed demon, and it was warm. At least I'm not the only one with snowmachine problems hope you get it fixed hft.

New track looks good.
Those ice screws will save your butt sometime B! Keep them handy under the seat with the pulley system. You will be glad they are there one day.
Happy New Year my friend,
Pete Happy New Years Pete! I hope I don't ever have to use them! No under seat storage, figured I'd keep them in my survival gear tote.

Limped her home, pick up the parts tomorrow and should be a easy fix. I have know idea how a bolt could have gotten sheared, I am far from a speed demon, and it was warm. Ouch! Normal wear and tear, I'm sure it must have been rusted to some extent. Did you have a hard time finding the parts for your older skidoo?

I hope your bees make it! I don't know the Yukon well enough yet to go out on it when it's this warm.

Warbles are out already. Family and I went out caribou hunting the other day. We did get two, lack of snow and ice kept us from hunting more. As I skinned the animal in my shop yesterday I noticed the warbles are already starting to grow. It's been in the teens upper 20/30 for the past three weeks. Depressing for January weather.
