I love the 76-78 cyclone and liquifire. 79-84 they got ugly but we’re probably technologically better. I grew up with my older brothers having Deere sleds. I love em.

The OEM bolt holding the lower gear on the shaft in the chain case, had a plastic button in the threads to act as a thread locker. If you don't have that bolt, or if the bolt threads in easily, you should use blue Loctite. After hanging out with the Deere factory racers starting 2007, we started Loctiting everything on their recommendation, or using castellated nuts on drilled bolts. Maybe overkill, but I know guys who have had the chain gear bolt come out, and the four suspension attaching bolts have been known to back out.
@DougTrevors15 күн бұрын
I knew about the suspension bolts backing out. Will dip back in and Loctite the gear bolt. Not looking like snow anytime soon, so I’ve got the time!

Without a doubt, the 78 LFs have a following. I myself have no interest in the Kawi powered models, I collect only the Kioritz powered sleds. So, that makes the 78 LF the top dog. There are collectors who feel the 78 LF was the best sled Deere built. It all depends on what criteria you want to judge them by, if you like the larger frame sleds, this is it!
@DougTrevors15 күн бұрын
I like the unique style… plus, it’s the model that I remember my dad riding the most. It was super reliable and lasted him for years.
@400brian15 күн бұрын
I have done this job with sleds laying on their sides, it sucked. I have done it with the sled upside down on saw horses, it sucked a little bit less. However, the ones that were on their backs also were bare tunnels, so they weren't hard to flip over. Always a good job done, and to see them back on their feet!

@DougTrevors19 күн бұрын
The cogs are original equipment. The track belts are original, but the grouser bars and the rivets are all replacements. When I got the machine more than half of the bars were worn through, so I had a local machine shop make up some replacements, then I went to work with a grinder and rivet gun.
