1977 John Deere wear bars

[teamgreen]

Anyone know where to buy wear bars for a 1977 John Deere 300. I haven't bought **** for old sleds in many years, don't even know where to find a part number for this old piece of iron.

Well forget about getting them from a jd dealer. Everything’s obsolete. Maybe try measuring them and getting some generic ones from rec supply

You mean cleats for track never heard of metal wear bars

Ya, just don't know what the aftermarket dealer are anymore. I tried googling it and found MFG Supply, but for $20 of parts it was $52 shipping.

metal wear bars for the skis. Also known as carbides, but carbides have, well Carbide.

You got a sled down in Memphis?

Try Recreational Powersports in Edmonton.
Any hot rod sled shop in Calgary or Red Deer should be able to set you in the right direction.
Worst case is take ski off and go to welding shop and they will make you a pair to fit ski mount hole centers and curve of ski - make a few sets.
If you have an old wear bar just take that in.

Royal but 50 bucks plus shipping
Dennis Kirk 53 bucks plus shipping

Any snowmobile wreckers close to you?

I was tinkering with restoring a 1976 Cyclone a few years back. There is a forum site called JDsleds that is really good. Maybe they would have a supplier or suggestion on there? See the link below:

That's probably the best advice ^^^
For my Liquifire, I searched for the right size but came up empty, so we just modified another set that I had and made it fit.

Its not my sled, I was fixing up for a friend. I don't want to hassle my welder (Prop Masters) for something stupid like this. Ended up emailing Sled Parlour and they are bringing me in a set. Thanks all for the recommends.
