How To Change A Track On A Sled With Diamond Drive! How Hard Can It Be???

[@dubiousf00d]

Those arctic cats got a face only a mother could love. 😂😂 Nice one🍻

[@Stuckin330]

That style cat has an ugly ass face 😂 I love the 2003 an 2004 fire cat modles they were the best looking also the older thunder cats an vintage el Tigre’s an panteras we’re sweet looking

[@117moose]

Yo mama can love

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣🍻

[@davidbrennan5]

after 12 beers it doesn't look so bad.

[@larrywarner9314]

Pete that primary clutch needs some love bud

[@MrHugawa]

The F7 looks so good, and the F1000 has a face only a mother could love. great video!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Couldn't agree more! 🤣🍻

[@richardmcgaffin5609]

Thanks boys! Keep em coming and think snow…..

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

cheers 🍻

[@donnydenfeld2394]

Cheers 🥂 and 🍺🍻 beers Good evening Pete and Deeron and everyone on this awesome Canadian channel. Pitter patter git at er boys.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha thanks eh!! 🤣🍻

[@larrywarner9314]

Rebuilt that primary clutch and she'll dangle Pete 🍻🍻

[@Triple87]

Hey now, those F-1000’s were awesome for their time. My brother had a 2007, and it was awesome to ride. Not many sleds were competing with it. It was the baddest sled around in my area. He has a crossfire 1000 now, which is my favourite sled of all time. It’s such a good looking sled. 😂

[@richardcollins7351]

Really. I had one and its the Barney sled for looks. Plus the diamond drive was a piece of crap. Its the sled that made me switch to skidoo after being a die hard AC guy.

[@Triple87]

@@richardcollins7351 It’s definitely not the best looking sled out there, that’s for sure. But my brothers was solid. He never had to do anything to it outside of regular maintenance, and replaced an A arm after he smoked a rock he didn’t see. 😂 It ran great. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jessejames4976]

No f7...

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣 cheers 🍻

[@andrewroberts8993]

Great video. My buddy is getting ready to change out his diamond drive. He changed his track and the track clips eat through his diamond drive lost all fluid. I guess you have to grind down the clips on one side of the track. Keep an eye on it

[@johnrafferty5266]

The Barney sled named after barney the purple dinasour. The cool part the ride on those twin spars chassis are awesome very comfortable.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

it actually does ride and handle awesome! 🍻

[@jmowiscoproud]

Yaas Pete's back with another one! It's good to see someone still has some snow to letter dangle!!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha thank you! cheers 🍻

[@joewarner2064]

Love diamond drives. Makes it so much easier to swap tracks. I can do it in a little less than an hour on my 2011 Crossfire . What you did worked but I like leaving the caliper bolted in. Just take the big nut off the driveshaft and push the driveshaft towards the diamond drive side. Love your video's man!!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

thank you! cheers 🍻

[@iolasagiaktuk-dh2mb]

Nice one!! 🎉🎉🎉 🍻

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Thank you! Cheers!🍻

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Great video again guys! ☃️👍👍🍻

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

thank you! 🍻

[@vicktdock]

Good one guys. I didn't know they made a diamond drive with reverse, my 06 f6 had diamond without it. Was an excellent sled for me, she dangled until the clutch pooched.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Right on! cheers 🍻

[@RayFMak]

Awesome video Pete ✌🏻 Cheers 🍻

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Thank you! Cheers!🍻

[@2SLEDD]

Nice one!

[@2SLEDD]

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

1000 Man Band , all the Songs !

[@rayharris5097]

Ultimax for the Kawi's eh? Might have to look into that, my Drifter 440 has had the same old beat up factory belt on it as long as I can remember lol. Nice one

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha yeah I think it might even be the same belt as the old Bravo!! the list of sleds it fits was longer than the line at the beer store! 🤣🍻

[@BROTUNED]

Cheers Pete another great video. My father in law has the 1100 4 stroke version of that ugly sled. At least it looks fairly simple to work on. Didn’t see any JR talls in this vid but I guess there is always next time.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

cheers! ya I had to do a full service on a fellas 1100 like this and ya gotta take the seat and gas tank off just to get at the freakin spark plugs 🤦🤣 🍻

[@racingruss7263]

If that sled had a chain case instead of that diamond drive you would be pushing 100..Those rob so much power..You always make us laugh.Cheers!!!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

cheers! 🍻🤣

[@jamesquaife5633]

My Crossfire 1000 runs out of gear at 123 mph. Diamond drives have zero downside if maintained.

[@RyanAllen-h9c]

The Arctic Cat Platypus edition. Great video!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

[@scottmente2244]

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣🍻

[@eltonwhite8490]

ya know what the warnin label is dontcha ?@@rednecksdirtyhands

[@toyrider1077]

My first sled was a 2008 LXR version of that same sled. Kind of a tank and she didn’t dangle with the 1” track. Was fast for its time and did a great job of vibrating your filling loose. Like to say it was a nice one but it was kind of a couch

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣🍻

[@mainiacmainah]

Nice one! Thanks bub!!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

cheers 🍻

[@jesserousseau2481]

I run untramax on all my sleds. 01 xcsp600 loves it!!!😊

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Nice One! 🍻

[@scottmcnabb-m6d]

I had a John deer spitfire 1978 it was direct drive as well it’s a similar test up .

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Nice One! 🍻

[@ronmurphy9819]

Thanks. You guys ever pull an engine to replace with a different one and sell the one you took out? I happen to be looking for one to play with. Thanks for sharing.

[@jesserousseau2481]

This is why I keep old 2 strokes. Shit my xc600 hits 105. 80 on a short stretch like that. Just crazy how slow the new stuff is

[@shanedowney6503]

How about taking some of this snow we got here in cape breton ..see you can use some . Got 150 cm in 72 hours . Nice one!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Jeez that's alot of snow!! 🍻

[@GoofieNewfie69]

Stud spun out, thats normal when you use a rattle gun to loosen nuts and bolts instead of a wrench. Rattle guns are ok but they will always spin out a stud when you cant get or it's very hard to get anything on the back. If you are not keeping the track to put on another machine, just cut it instead of fighting to get it off, save the fight to get the new one on Artic Cat 1000 @ 72mph, not very good. Big heavy machine . My brothers 81 340 Enticer deluxe does 70 all week long.

[@jacmar54]

Omg, Pete I really enjoyed your videos with your hot wife, my buddy Dennis has got a 1979 John Deere 340 he bought new, always been in the shed, helped helped him get it going, new carb belt windshield, waiting on a snow, and fuel pump, never rode one, about a hour out of St.Louis, Mo, Beer drinker like you and your friends, amazing videos, retired, love to laugh, you are good at that amagine that, hell of a mechanic, God bless you and your wife, 👌👍🍺

[@camerontaylor8468]

That still has the flip up gas cap there's a recall to have the tank replaced because they cracked an leak just had my f6 done

[@jamesquaife5633]

Hey bud, get that secondary rebuilt asap. Theres a guy out east that does the hub mod in canada for Mel from Formula in the states. Also Arnie at Arnies Cat house here in muskoka does a cool mylar sheeve rebuild that solves that issue too. Its nutso good after that.

[@jesserousseau2481]

You let off to early!!!! Hahahah

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣 that's what she said! 🤣🍻

[@sailbc]

That Bravo dangles. 42mph is actually really solid when you figure 250cc that is as old as some grandparents.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣🍻

[@markpontes4457]

Seems like you were letting off sooner then when you had the ski door! You should put a cone out where your going to let off.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

yeah thats a good idea! 🍻

[@jeremyjmailloux]

D Ron's Last Call Cat! 🥴

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣🍻

[@iolasagiaktuk-dh2mb]

My gosh come take some of our snow y’all need it bad

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha yeah she's almost like spring over here! 🤣🍻

[@bobfife7118]

What is it about the studs. Is it the studs or the backers you dislike? Are plastic backers better?

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

it's just that brand if backer...they are terrible for cracking and breaking apart. just a poor design and the wrong grade of aluminum I think 🤔🍻

[@billkoss6496]

U can take the belt and clutch off at the same time without going threw the work of spreading the clutch and put it back on

[@bunsdad4530]

There used to be straight gears you could put in the diamond drive You chose between torque or speed with a small difference

[@jonathanfierberg3807]

I chugged a beer every time you said d Ron

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

lmfao 🤣 jeez that's one way to crush a case! haha I think I said it alot so ya probably got a wee bit of a hangover today eh! 🤣🤪🍻

[@jonathanfierberg3807]

I just woke up who hit me

[@jeffpine3036]

Twin Spar. 2006 what was Arctic Cat thinking. D-Ron must have got sled for cheap, "eh"

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣🍻

[@ssnthe10s]

That primary looks like it could use some attention tbh...

[@jakep7469]

yasss

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🍻

[@brianelias2994]

Should of went one step further and loosened that skinny nut off on the calliper side. Pull the shaft out of the housing and had a look at the bearing. Would not have taken long. Having two Cats with Diamond Drives and as far as I’m concerned they worked great. Just the secondary clutch needed aftermarket things to make them work right.

[@davea5113]

It might be the ugliest looking chassis but It sure is the BEST riding chassis!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

it really does ride and handle awesome! 🍻

[@kevinbushey1879]

I was watching your videos you we’re doing Christine‘s driveshaft. You mentioned how much it cost at Napa. I had an auto body shop for almost 40 years I stopped buying from Napa like 10 years ago they’re super rip offs all the business I gave them they never gave me a good break on any parts, I had a part I needed for a Chevy truck. They want $550 for it. I got it on Amazon for like $135 .

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

yeah the price of parts is just gettin way outta hand! 🍻

[@ScottMorton-tg1wx]

She’s a beaut a Clark.

[@joelaichner3025]

My Old Lady goes both ways ! It’s called reverse Cow Girl

[@joelaichner3025]

Sky !

[@scottmente2244]

Looks like that truck from Wisconsin

[@bwyyy7306]

Diamond drive looks like portal from a utv

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

yeah kind of the same idea..🍻

[@blubyu151]

Was that clutch moving all over the place was it just me?

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

🤣 yeah it looked like it was gunna take flight!! 🍻

[@rickleclerc4964]

Pete what drag app do you have bipity boo !

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

I'm using the "Dragy" it cost about $200 for the unit and it links to your phone. it is deadly accurate for all the race info like 0-60, 300 foot, 1/8th mile, quarter mile and will give you speeds and times! only downside is it doesn't show top speed...unless you set it for 1/2mile and giver a squeeze lol 🤣 🍻

[@rickleclerc4964]

thank u@@rednecksdirtyhands

[@colbiecolbie6979]

Cross threads are better than no threads!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha well ya ain't wrong there! 🤣🍻

[@joelaichner3025]

At 12 to 13 beers , try Two Cellos , it’s Classical Rock ?

[@joelaichner3025]

Ultimax belt makes a 1000cc 4 stroke go faster than a 1974 Puma 440 ,

[@joelaichner3025]

Beyond Reality ! Can you see it ?

[@jonathanfierberg3807]

You were wrong about d Ron he seems like a good guy

[@kevinbushey1879]

Pete I see your girl likes her new jeep that’s because she doesn’t have to work on it you do😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha thanks! she does love it and she's more than willin to help fixer up! 🍻

[@joelaichner3025]

Strange looking Helix’s in a Diamond Drive

[@iolasagiaktuk-dh2mb]

Hey yo bud need ur help my belt went on my zr rr 8000 put new one on now my primary is making noise

[@joelaichner3025]

If you were going to name your snowmobile after a Fish , or Flipper Mammal , What’s her Name ? The thing that eats You ! Heart , Barracuda , off the table ! Think ! What ?

[@joelaichner3025]

This would have been the time to install Wahl Brothers Drivers

[@rhyno5228]

Jim or Billy?😂 🍻

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha both! 🤣🍻

[@lasseanti6084]

Oh man, I don't know about this sled, my single piped Yamaha MM 700 does 60 mph in 203 ft in 4,05 seconds. By 250 ft the speed is 63,34 mph and ET is 4,56. The MM is set for trail/powder use. Data aquired with racebox and the racebox app.

[@joelaichner3025]

You Super Snowmobile HOSERS in Canada , ride with just ear plugs in , but before you leave ? 3 or 4 Beers , and Listening to Triumph , a HOSER BAND ! What’s the Snowmobile do to you ? Magic Power ! I’m a Yooper ! Fear Me ! I’m FAST ! Quick really ! Hold On !

[@nwcove]

i think my 78 john deere 440 liquifire would hit 65 mph on that run !!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

Nice One! 🍻

[@gregtracybeaudin5600]

Please tell me your going to clean up that primary. Yikes

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

[@boop890]

I personally think the f8 and f1 look way better

[@joelaichner3025]

Ever been at that point of Ultimate Buzz ? And Alan Parsons came on , Sirius , Eye in the Sky Played ! I see GOD ! And he’s Riding a Polaris Man ! Through the Desert , and Snow just appears in front of him ! Beyond Magic ! Pin It ! Go big or go to Heaven ! God doesn’t like Pussies ! But I hear ? He likes Beavers !

I can’t actually prove it ? But Beer , makes a body Strong ! 2 beers is an 8 ounce steak , in Protein , build muscle , drink Beer !

[@jimberglin1613]

Seems to be an awful lot of corrosion on those clutches.

[@BroBob1254]

That Paddle track slows it down on the Top End! And that Sled is UGLY! Nice work!

[@thomasbarnett6023]

i got a 2010 AC F8 SnoPro with almost 10,000 miles! they are ugly as all get out! i got a black low pro windsheild id sell ya!

[@airman6822]

Those twin spar chassis are not the prettiest. I had a 2009 Z1 Turbo that lost a secondary. After I found out they didn't make them anymore and there was 1 new one in the country for a small fortune, I decided to sell it after I found a used one to replace it. I think replacement parts will be their long-term Achilles heal. I heard you can't get anything new for the DD anymore.

[@joelaichner3025]

Track Time ? Short track racing
