A guy can't argue with the sound of a triple! Running mint or not, they ping so nice
Nothing on the snow sounds as beautiful as a triple triple. Sad the industry went 4 stroke
I know the sound well. Late at night you can here them screaming. Unfortunately the locals also heard it. Michigan has noise ordinance dont bring a piped or canned sled dnr will bust you
4 stroke sleds are not As bad as ppl say they are in mean there more reliable but I do love 2 strokes I'm just thinking with reason that YES 4 stroke snowmobiles are more reliable and they actually can be fucking fast proven in the shootout video and my 2004 rx1 1000 4 cyl dose a solid 120mph tops and that's a bone stock sled 4 strokes aren't bad there just more for trails because there heavy...but I think ANY Sled can be amazing with a little love and care
Articat makes 2 strokes still
Dude you are one hell of a sled junkie. And good at it. I'm going to enjoy, while it's still snowy in MI. And then see ya next winter.
My old man bought a 900 thundercat in 96 and had it bored over to 1107 was 220hp on av gas. When he passed away it sat for 12 years. I picked it up last winter, pulled it apart boots on the carbs were rottin. It has 1008 miles like brand new, need to get the stainless water pump shaft to get her goin. Cant wait to hear the old triple scream again.
Send mike miller a message on face book he has water pump rebuild kits
I had a zrt 800 when I lived in Michigan, sold her when I moved to NC, god I miss that rocket sled.....
Just found this channel last week. What a gem! That voice and laugh of Pete’s is so unique that I can’t stop watching. The wit, wisdom, skill , willingness to tackle literally anything with a smile, and quality video work keep me searching out more vids every day. Keep me laughin’ and learnin’ Pete!
thank you! we really appreciate the positive feedback 🍻
You really enjoy helping people!! Love this channel.
I appreciate that! thank you very much!! cheers 🍻
Can't beat the sound of a trip. I have a 700 srx and let me tell you! She sings in the woods!
Yaaaaa, they sure do. Too bad that 73 Arctic Cat 650 EXT wasn't still around.
I don’t know shit about snow machines or 2 stroke engines but ffs that thing was trashed and I damn near cheered when she burped over. Nothing is ever dead it seems. Thanks for the video…subscribed.
I always loved the sound of a triple.
Btw folks. See that groove on the pull start assembly.. when u break the rope and need to rewind the spring...you seat the rope in that groove and u can rewind with the rope still on.
Enjoy all your videos. Cool sled keep up the good work 👍.
Love the vid, maybe I just got a gem but my 2000 zrt 600 is bulletproof, I've had it 5 years and my buddy's dad before me from New 8000 original miles and has 95 pounds in each cylinder 🤣
@Alex Fracyon no you are right it should be around 145 psi per cylinder, I just meant that for a 22 year old sled that has never been rebuilt its very impressive. And believe me I beat the snot out of it hah, she'll be getting a rebuild this fall. She earned it
Just bought my first sled ever. A 96 ZRT600 and goodness were in NB. Wishing for snow!!
My new favourite channel. Almost snarfed beer out my nose a couple times!
Great video...I had one back in the day...most most versatile sled ever...fast enough for a lake run but light enough to ditch bang...enjoy
That flexible handle 1/4 drive tool is awesome !! I learn something every day !!
it's a Nice One! 🍻
Rode a thunder cat 1000 for a while, loved that triple, little heavy on the front end but worked to my advantage on the hill climb. I’m too old and fat to ride like that anymore
Sounds great love those old triples
I had a 96 ZRT 600 that would pick on a few 800cc sleds. Of course it wasnt as fast off the line but it'd reel them on the top end. I miss that sled but my body doesnt miss it, it was a heavy pig lol
Thanks for bringing back some memories of the nasty sound of one.
I’am having a good laugh every time you do your content,great job my boy .🇨🇦👍💪😉🍺
Glad you enjoy it! thank you 🍻
Good video , Love your sense of humor, want to see more .
lol thanks 🍻
I thought the broom was on purpose because of the studs.. I was like.. "Brilliant!" hahaha
But check this out.. i just bought a 96 ZRT today with 1900 miles on it for $600!.. It had no spark but we fixed it by bypassing the tether.. BOOM!! But hey.. I'm a professional Minnesotan so we got 'er rippin' in no time, donchyaknow
You guys are a riot. Rock on with your socks on
lol thanks man 🍻
I remember seeing this sled in mags when I was young and thinking that snowmobiles couldn't get better.
You know every year when your out on the trails and find that molten pile where a sled just cavitated.. makes me think of these fellas
Great sleds, I've got a 96 that's been sitting for 6 years. I also got motor and parts from my zrt 800. Upgraded to 2004 zr 900 that is now for sale for local pick-up here in Michigan. Needs a belt and shocks rebuilt 2500 or best
Bes of luck
I got a 96 ZRT 600 for free from a friend when I was in high school. It needed some work. It was the only snowmobile I have ever ridden. They are pretty fast when they are running good. I got mine up to 90 MPH before I chickened out.
High school!! Was best 14 years of my life lmao
Darn fun to learn, that is one awesome sled. My cousin Carl had an EXT 600 triple with pipes and had ZRT Logo on the engine. That's an awesome sounding sled!
they do sound sweet! 🍻
Had a 99 thundercat , ported , clutched , air box , 240 picks , 8 miles to the gallon , sold it , but not before I ran out of gas way out there ! Trak phone saved me from freezing to death that night
I'm up here in Flint Michigan ... gotta 97 Polaris Indy Storm 800 Triple ... 2300 MI... pretty good shape always kept indoors ... all three cylinders make 100 PSI under compression test ... all three dead on 100 ... so that 120 PSI .. you have there can't be all bad ..
Also, hose pliers for exhaust springs is brilliant!
I have to admit ? Your a pretty sharp guy , plus you build from scratch , fabricator , I did complete restorations on cars for a living , helped out a fellow builder for a few months before Autorama in 2001 , took him a few years , but he build a beautiful rod , all aluminum , but the frame , from piles & sheets of metal , loud as hell on the fab side of his building , hammers are machines that hammer , thumpin ! Ford gave him a motor , tremec gave him a transmission , some other company gave him a all chromed independent rear end , and it was parked at the Ford display , he could fab ! No paint , no clear , just pure aluminum body , no roof , perfect ! He impressed me too ,
The ZRT 600's were hit or miss when it came to fouling plugs. I've seen both: A sled that will idle just fine, run 5-10 mph in the woods or 100 down the road and never need a plug change. OR A sled that must only idle long enough to warm it up, can't go slow for longer than a minute or two, and is only good for riding roads or straight and wide groomed trails.
Hockey stick in the clutch is a great tool to break em free along with a healthy dose of something slimey lol
I loved my 97 at everything but technical hillclimbing where in and out of powerband. Still a awsome cart motor
Keep up the good work.
Love the videos. And the knowledge.
thanks 🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands I got some sleds for you to repair
Gawd I remember when these came out in 96 i was 20 years old, my buddy bought 1 new and she was a rocket i cant believe these are old sleds already lol, i quess im getting old as well lol
i had a zrt 600 was a great sled very dependable
fuck love this. buddy is just laughing with this amazing humor, love it, letsss goooo
Boy I would love to come check out all the stuff you got out there
Sitting in the rhubarb lmao, 🤣 wonder wand, lol hey you know my buddy Joel? Hahaha
there was prolly nothing wrong with the fuel pump out side seals yea maybe when they run goofy like that the center seal is bad on the crank i did all the same moves on a 900 in a yamaha dealership yrs ago wasted a hootful of money 😢you guys are awesome you make me smile also im new to your channel love it... ralph from brandon vermont . love to hang with ya after 2 beers lol petes hurlarious😂❤🎉🎉🎉
just found this channel i live in the states now but grew up in canada up aournd Gravenhurst makes me home sick
I had a tear in my carb boot and toasted the rings on the PTO side. It sat around for 5 years and the crankcase looked every bit as bad. I gave it the oil bath treatment for a couple days and close to 2000 miles later (9700 miles total) it still runs like a top.
Can't wait to see how the old cat fares🤞
nice! 🍻
Apparently not as well as my sled lol good effort sir😎
never rev a sled without a belt it could go wild and crazy i seen it happen
I bought a 2005 F6 Firecat, I love it!
This channel is amazing
just got zrt 600 from a buddy (free) good bud has not ran for bunch o years" cables are froze up havent pulled cord yet gas cap float rusted i'll clean tank soak cables check carbs and cylinders over weekend and cross fingers it runs. any suggestions welcome iv messed around with bikes 'quads but never a sled

That was my first thought to clean the airbox out , before pulling it, learned from Experience. 😢
I used to have a zrt600 awesome machine
Just found this channel love it
thanks! 🍻
I remember running an xlt when these came out. And i remember hearing how much better artic triples sounded over polaris triples. Those zrts just sounded greasy as all hell.
Love these sleds. Ive got a 96 model my Pa bought brand new in the fall of 95. Not a quality sled by any means but they sound awesome and rip really good even by modern standards. Glad to see ya bringing one back from the dead.
thanks for watching 🍻
She’s been sittin’ in tha rhubarb for a little while…😅😂😂
I had a 96 that was fast as hell when it ran.
Happy new year to you
happy new year 🍻
I use that stuff if I ever gotta grab a tank from the scrap yard works great for sealing the gas tanks, tryed several things with no real success intell I ran across the seal all
I got an ext 600, had a zrt love the old tripples
cheers 🍻
Make sure the fuel pickup line in the tank is ok too!
that’s what was wrong with my ext580, clogged line was causing it to only run for 10 mins at a time
I had an Polaris 600 triple that sled was quick those attic cars were fast as well
Good Stuff !! I Subscribed !!
Good video Pete
thank you 🍻
Lol I live this guy!😂
Yep those float pins can't take a joke...I broke one and had to wait on a new carb! Happy happy
🍻
Great vid man, i appreciate it indeed.
thanks 🍻

900 T-Cat Mountain Cat ??

Great content
🍻
"Stiffer than a teenager with a sears catalog"

🤣haha Nice One! cheers 🍻
I always say when in doubt pull out the clicky clack.then replace the pump if it runs!!snooky
This channel is the Vice Grip Garage for sled heads! Love these videos!
thanks 🍻
At times , i feel like giving my 1997 Thunder Cat 900 a ring for my good judgement and the reliability of my cat.
reliability? glad youve had good luck
@@Syntax73 Thanks. My 1997 Thunder Cat is Awesome.
Good times guys!
Hey. Great vid!
thanks 🍻
I hope you still have the Zed RT going currently I'm riding a x ale t
I had a 96 zrt 600 a few years ago. Triple pipes and d&g stingers. Motor always ran good. But it always effed me around. Broken drive shaft, broken throttle cable, broken choke cable, smoked belts, I swear it left me stranded 4/5 times.
I had enough and took the motor out and threw it into a golf cart.
That was a bad idea lol it was dangerous
Curious as to where you guys are. Left home in ontario in 1970, hot rig back then was Ski Doo TNT 440
Smmmmoke on the gravel
Fire in the driveway ....
Deep Purple up north
Love triples
good ol brakeclean to dry out the cylinders, been sitting for years rev the shit out of it cold start, bud light. yep sounds like me hahaha thats awesome you got it running again! subscribed!!! seen a couple of your videos over the past few days. pretty awesome
lmao 🤣🍻 thanks !!!
I don't know if you do it or not but I would run the mixture of the oil and gas I'd run that oil mixture a little higher for that first tank that might help with the lower end a little bit if there's help for it lol
Don't pull the sled by the ski loops. It will throw off the alignment of the skis majorly. I have made that mistake myself so I know it to be true lol
Number 1 diesel take any power away? Number 1 diesel sapped some power from our winter tractor a 100hp agco, moving bales blowing snow and hauling cut wood. tractors seemed to use more fuel too. Not tested theories you find downside?
I’m curious if the crank went out on this sled? There was a lot of water in it
that looks like a fun yard to do will it starts
No drain plugs on cases ¿
Ok so I watched your video and I've been looking to get a new sled for riding to I can keep up with my buddy. If you have anything give me a heads up.
Why’d he stop using it?
Never understood why people leave there snowmobiles outside and uncovered.
hey man love the videos still watching them every day lol. even when im at work i let them play at home haha. quick question how close are you to Port Loring , or North Bay ? future projects !
haha that's awesome! we are out near peterborough Ontario 🍻
She dangles ,,, git er go'in
good vid man, you're funny lol
thanks 🍻
Hi I’m new to your channel to ! You guys are Hot Shits! very entertaining love the beers and laughter!!
haha thank you! cheers 🍻
Will u sell the skid out of the old Polaris sitting there
That triple sounds mean.
PS. Pete ; does that Bud Lite taste like beer or water?
Hey do you have toques or hats for sale? With the dirty hands logo? I’d buy one!!
we had some merch made up just to see how they'd look...we will be getting some more and they will be available to buy soon! thanks for the support ! 🍻
I had the same self mine was a 1998 my top speed on grass was 94 in 660 ft it run pretty good
Nice One! 🍻
Should’ve put some JB Weld on it that stuff works great better than that seal all
