[sledobsessed]

would'nt you need a differant track so the driver teeth can go through the windows?

its called a knife and open the closed windows :d:d

The best way to cut the windows open is actually with a sharp wood chisel. then you put a chunk of wood like a 2x4 in between so that when chisel goes thru it hits the 2x4.. I have done it this way and it worked really well.. Did it make sense how i was saying where you needed to measure to make sure that you'll have enough clearance to run the 10tooth drivers. Because do you have 8 tooth drivers now? The 10tooth drivers would be 25% larger than the 8 tooths. If they fit it would also require regearing.

like is said earlier sled stored at work will measure tomorrow

Sounds good.. Also count how many teeth are on the drivers that are in the sled now.. Need to know if they are 9tooth or 8tooth.

If it's a 03 mnt cat it would have come stock with 10 tooth drivers. when i put extroverts i cut about 1.5 inches off the rails if i remember right. they were 10 tooth 2.52 pitch with stock 151" track. 2 years ago changed to the challenger extreme 156x16x2.5 3.00 pitch changed drivers to 9 tooth 3.00pitch and it fit good about 1/2" between side of track and tunnel. when cutting the rails off on the front i would put an anti stab kit on. I just put a 162x16x2.5 extreme on my sled dew to the rails stabbing through my 156 track an ripping it in half.

I think Glen asnwered alot of your questions but my drivers will definately work with that track as it's off a doo originally. The shaft i kinda doubt would work but i'm not sure. You could always get Ken @ Specailty to press these drivers off my shaft and onto yours. The shaft doesn't have the bearing anymore as i removed it originally to replace on the new shaft but then decided to get as new bearing as well. The bearing cost $37 at the dealer, took my old bearing to Commercial bearing on southside, got there for $14 including GST. Let me know if still interested, i have a guy that say's he's going to take them but i have no cash in hand so still up for grabs. Thanks.

Once you press them onto a shaft you cant press them off and then press onto another shaft as they are already streched.. The problem that it would cause if you did that would be that the drivers wouldn't fit tight enough on the shaft and could slip on the driveshaft.. So you would have to get rid of shaft and all in a package deal.. Or swap shaft with the guy getting your drivers.

thx glen for that info but i also already thought so


measured today

clearance front straight to the tunnel 1,5"
track to tunnel upward 3/4"
track to tunnel side 1/2"

counted teeth and i got 8teeth drivers in right now

so im guessing 10teeth wouldnt even fit or ?

are you talking about drivers in the picture. they look like 10 tooth drivers to me. if it is a 03 mnt cat 10 tooth 2.52 pitch drivers come stock on it. I had 10 tooth extros on my 03 900 mnt cat then 9 tooth 3.00 pitch witch are close to same diameter with 2.5 inch paddles and fit fine

 

[FossY]

ya ure right my bad just counted again on the picture

should be 10s

 

[glengine]

So yah 10 tooth extro's would work great.. To bad the other ones are already on a shaft.. Unless the shaft is out of a cat?

 

[Culvert]

Just a quick question. If one does punch out the closed windows in the track do you need to run track clips? Or can you just go to Extro's and not worry about the new openings?

 

[glengine]

Just punch out and good to go.. Did lots that way.
