For lack of a better place to ask this question, I'm posting this here since I think the reverse chain cases for the 1M sleds are real similar to the Bearcat.
I bought a used Bearcat that had a drive shaft bearing go out. The friend I bought it from already had it tore apart, but claimed all the parts and pieces were there. After finally rounding up all the new parts that needed replaced, we are in the process of putting it back together. Everything seems to fit pretty good, but we can only turn the secondary about 1/3 of a turn before something in the gearcase hits and stops it. Turning the other direction yields the same results.
In the attached diagram, we are having a problem with the studs and lock nuts (#39) contacting the raised portion of the spring retainer (#3). If we add shims on the outside of the spacer (#9) to prevent this, the outside of the chain (#10) contacts the gear (#12) and causes the case to lock-up as mentioned above.
If we remove the shims stacked on top of the spacer (#9), will the lock nuts (#39) damage the spring retainer (#3)?
Has anybody ran into this problem before?
I should add that we adjusted the tension on the chain and adjusted the shift linkage. It seems to shift pretty smooth, just can't get it to turn. We haven't tried letting the engine turn things over yet, just can't get it to work by hand.
Am I reading the parts list wrong, or should the spacer (#9) be 0.155" thick? We measured the one we have at 0.110".
Suggestions?
