Plastic razor blades work good or removing decals , heat the decal with a heat gun and scrape with plastic razor blade , after I discovered them I use them for house hold things and mechanical things, they are pretty awesome
Well done Gunner! There is alot of variance in factory belts. They are made on a big mandrel then cut, so some on one end of the mandrel are a little longer or shorter than others. My buddy was a crew guy for a champ sled and they would hit rummage sales, craigslist etc. and buy every belt of a serial number they could. Then prep them in a shower with steam and soap?!?! To remove mold release. The durometer would vary depending on age. It was a black art! Finally they got a factory Gates sponsorship and had whatever spec and durometer they wanted. Alot more consistent! That 440 was also very picky on belts, I believe a 010 was factory, a little softer than the 020, which was needed for that 5500 ram engagement. Mine had notched weights as well, which was great for lifting the front end, almost like a dirtbike. Good to see you keeping it on the track, one of Cats most successful sleds ever. 😊
@@WhiteoutSnowy it’s they’re same ATR-2 that they offer for motocross. I like it because Scott goggles fit very good in the eye port so not a lot of wind comes through.
@ yea that’s cool I’m just buy 🇺🇸 but to each there own. I ride Japanese brand stuff too when it comes to dirt bikes and stuff but when it comes to cars I buy American but I’m also from the Detroit area which prolly makes a big difference.
We had a bearcat clutch in secondary on my sled back in the day which gave more top end for the ice
A set of small bent needle nose pliers for the cir clip its a snap. No problem install even with another cylinder bolted down next to it

BTW, they were a skidoo factory team, but ran a Polaris primary and a cat roller secondary. Whatever made them fast!
Look into the mahle cir clip install tool, not sure if they make them small enough for a sled piston though
Let's see your clutching in a video,great content
I was just gonna say how many sleds have been in and out of them two garages your parents have
I didn’t realized 6D makes helmets for winter , how do you like those ?
