I rode a 73 TNT without brakes for 2 years in high school. If you know ahead of time and you aren't going over 40mph, you can manage it. But mostly you don't want to go over 25mph. You can use the tips of your boots to create drag to help slow you down. I have 3 MXZs and one needs brake work. The lever goes 3/4 of the way to the handlebars before it reacts but Its been fine to ride. I also have a 94 Mach 1 that has broken brakes... But its also not running so no danger there. lol

@@MyOldSled I 100% agree. Being able to manage it didn't mean it was safe or smart. These days I don't even trust the MXZ to have worn brakes. I didn't notice until this year how much worse it was than my other sleds so I already scheduled the service at the local dealer. These days I don't run anything that doesn't have every single feature operational, right down to handwarmers and new safety lanyards. But as a teenager I wasn't above riding a sled that was missing all gauges and its headlight. Eventually I got everything on those old sleds running too, including the brakes. That old TNT was never ridden more than a mile or so from home on more or less flat trails. But I don't recommend anyone try it, especially with a modern 500lb sled. Those old early 70s sleds were smaller and only weighed about 300lbs. They still had bogey wheels instead of a skid with sliders back then. Now that I think about it, those probably caused a lot of drag on their own as they were just as ancient as the sled was.

Vacuum fuel pumps hate ingesting water. Its too viscous, they can't push it through in large amounts. Water separates from the gas in contaminated gas and the gas floats on top of the water as water has a higher density, therefore if you get too much water in will rise above your fuel intake line and you will literally get nothing but water and can contaminate your fuel pump and carbs forcing you to drain the tank and clean the carbs and fuel pump. There are other problems like corrosion and even hydro-lock that can occur when getting too much water in a cylinder and it becomes uncompressible. Then you need to pull the plugs and blow all the water out then change your fuel and clean the fuel system too. It can be a mess. Happened on my 1999 MXZ 600 twice!

Just don't forget about them when back on the trails as they leave a mean black dust! Store briquets in a metal can, cover, good to go for next storage time.

Good video, David. I have a track stand like your second one from Princess Auto. It is stable, but sometimes I find it doesn't lift my sled up high enough, especially when the sled is on castors, so I end up propping it up by putting the legs on top of a couple 4x4's, to give it more height. I also appreciate the shield at the back for protection from flying debris or when I forget to remove my track castors and it goes flying out the back when I rev the sled. P.s. I hope you are getting some quality rides in this winter!

Overall it has been a great stand for many years.

I put thick rubber mats down near the entrance of my garage, I back the sled in and it protects the floor and the carbides. Sometimes they get dragged forward but I just put them back before I back in. This has saved the floor from any scratches, I am unstudded.
