Back to do a good videos again. Glad to see. This is the type of stuff that some of us watch for. And it’s nice to know that you’re not scared to show that you’ve made a mistake. Good job on this one. ❤

[@JeremyRhydes]

Many mistakes when working on any machine, but we learn and move on to show others.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Huge improvement. Tip for stapling is put the staples at a 45 degree angle. That way it has more leverage side to side. My mom and dad taught me that and they have done alot of recovering

[@JeremyRhydes]

Oooo! Alright! Thanks for the tip!

[@franksfunfarm]

Love the videos! Jeremy - for muffler springs, take a pair of vise grips and twist a loop of steel wire to hook the spring and one can manhandle the spring right on using the loop of the steel wire. Once it's on, undo the vise grips and pull the steel wire out. Works like a champ!

[@valhallaawaits6889]

Love your passion for these older classics. I'm riding a 96 Mach 1 670 and a 97 Formula 583 this year...when we get snow that is. 👍

[@rubbabubba6489]

I've been around a few years now, love your vids. One of the very few channels where I'll go back and rewatch videos. I'm from NY on the other side of the lake, we have zero snow here

[@JeremyRhydes]

That really means a lot to me! Thank you!!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’m blown away at the price of snowmobile belts these days. 25 years ago when I was into snowmobiles they were 20-25 bucks. The cheap ones are 80 bucks now. Crazy. But I’m happy to have a nearly mint vintage sled from back when I used to love snowmobiling the first time in my life. Reliving my childhood in my mid 40’s

[@jasonschmit3308]

Windshield looks killer, screen kit really pops! Not a fan of a touring sled but that looks sharp. Merry Christmas

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thank you! Yeah, the black and red really looks good!

[@keithrichardson1501]

Awesome videos. The carb cleaning fumes are the worst part. Maybe check out some face masks for fumes? I think there are two types available ones for particulate or ones for fumes like that. I will be looking into it more for myself. Thanks for the video!

[@JeremyRhydes]

Haha I definitely should invest...

[@keithrichardson1501]

Yeah its not often talked about but man it would be awesome to work on carbs and not worry about feeling blah from the fumes. Might have to do some googling and see whats out there. ​@@JeremyRhydes

Hi from Canada.. 2004 Skandic sport fanner ZX chassis...Great channel....4 inches of snow here in Northern New Brunswick..

Couple seat covering tips! - put the cover in the dryer for a couple minutes before - the zesting side of a cheese grader for smoothing out foam works great!

Great job dude. Trying to revive my 96 / 700 Wildcat as we speak. No snow in Ontario, Canada as well. Cheers brother! 😎

Temps in the 30's, no snow and ice starting to melt here in northern Minnesota. We started snowmobiling Nov 4th last year.

[@johnkuzak3292]

Glad that your back making videos

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thank you, John!

[@berttracy90]

You could have used that recoil off the 700 just swap out the adapter ring. 4 bolts and it comes off. Check the small oil lines from the pump to the engine they like to crack and you will burn the engine up. Just a couple tips. Love the videos keep em commin!

[@JeremyRhydes]

Hmmm, I guess I didn't look that far into it. I got a pretty good deal on a new (old) one from Hunter at Al's Snowmobile.

[@berttracy90]

@JeremyRhydes gotta love Al's snowmobile! Been there a couple times. Pretty good poke from Maine tho... I put the recoil off a rev on my 583 and 670s they pull over alot easier with the larger diameter recoil.

Came out great my friend!! gas tank that's crazy must have been a defect super thin.. we run the old XLT 600 Polaris we got three of them. They're everywhere you should try to find one 600 triple❤

[@JeremyRhydes]

I was shocked myself. I should have filmed the tiny little cuts, because it was barely noticeable looking at it. I am on the hunt for a triple for sure!

[@Mmmmmmmk875]

For pulling exhaust springs, get some pull cord rope fish it through the spring end and it’s good for pulling off and on springs. A lot less deadly.

[@JeremyRhydes]

A couple others mentioned this too! I'm going to try it next time!

[@spencerhall4452]

Use a car door edge protector on the windshield edge, will give it a factory finished edge. You can pick them up at most automotive stores

[@JeremyRhydes]

I actually did! Forgot to tell the people in the video, but it can be seen at the end. lol

Northern Minnesota here. On a map if you go straight as a crow fly's we line up with the very top of Maine. It's Saturday Dec. 23rd 41 degrees and no snow on the ground. We are supposed to get up to a 1/2" of rain tomorrow. Weather channel says we could possibly get 1-3 inches of snow Sunday night. We'll see.

Praying for snow! Been a weird winter so far...lol Thanks for watching Kevin!

Like this sled alot, no body ever does. You should get rid of the backrest and rack on the back. Ditch that two seater with a single seat. Making it a long track! Would look sweet.

Hey Jeremy I was wondering how much it cost you to have that mxz dess tether programmed and to get the tether as well. I'm considering grabbing a fixer upper mxz that's missing it and wanna see what it would cost roughly to get that taken care of.

[@JeremyRhydes]

Hmmm, I'm trying to remember. I worked with a guy out West who cut me a deal to promote his work on the video. I think it cost $90 for the service, and another $20 to have the tether matched. If you reach out to me on Instagram, I can get you a name of a guy who might be able to help you with your situation for cheaper.
