Snow Trac Spring Set

[SnowTrac Hunter]

Finally put the springs together that I bought from Don in January, Many Thanks to Don!!! Will swap the tires out tomorrow. One step closer to getting back on the trail. My brother and I drilled out the old alignment bolts and put new ones in. Super grateful for all the help from Don for the parts that are pretty hard to obtain.

yes and those had some really cherry bushings in them

Made a quick dash to the cabin to install the new spring set and shocks that I bought. Spring set I was lucky to be able to acquire from Don in Nome. Shocks were available at O'Reilly's Auto Parts for $25.99 apiece. Monroe 31000 was what they had available. From what I could tell on-line it should have been a 31089 model, but none were in stock. Spent a few hours re-installing on Saturday. Swapped out the dead battery and it fired right up. Didn't drive it very far but it was fun. Need to figure out if the outer drive sprockets are causing the passenger side to jump, or what else it could be. Luckily I now have Don and Steve on speed dial.

Had a great moose tenderloin dinner and sat by the fire enjoying life.

I couldn't see your track but I had to build ice scrapers for mine.

This side has a mud flap to shed the snow, I need to make one for the other side. I bought it like that, and haven't used it enough for it to be an issue yet. Hopefully that will change in the future.

Still need to build padded seats/backs for the passengers.

Thanks,
Joe

because of the worn rubber centers of the drive sprockets I would get clumps of packed snow in them and cause track jumping or what sounded like it.
you may not get the wet snow that packs and not need the scrapers.

Jim, Can you post a pic of your ice scrapers? Might be something I need in the future.

Thanks,
Joe
