Got my center punched 156 X3, avid drivers, and clutching from Carls last week and got it all put on over the weekend. Install went fairly smooth, getting the drive shaft back in was kind of a pain and took a fair amount of time. We stuck the pto side of the shaft in and then had to muscle the exhaust side in, we barely got that side in, and when we did it was only in about an inch and need to keep going about another inch, we couldn't get it muscled over because the center tooth was putting a lot of pressure on the track, it just plain wouldn't move. Eventually we ended up putting the bottom gear on the belt drive and had to thread the bolt into the drive shaft and tighten, which pulled the shaft over, and that went smoothly. I don't have anything torqued yet, and don't have the track tension set, I'm expecting a shop manual later this week. Not sure but its looking like an offset axle and larger wheels may be needed depending on how much the track loosens up, I maxed out the adjustment bolts on the axle and it didn't seem to get overly tight, but I'm not sure what the tension specs are so we will see. Overall the track looks awesome, and I can't wait to get it on the snow. I will get ride reports posted here after I get some time on it. Hope for a thanksgiving trip. Sled has stock rear suspension, and motor is stock besides an HPS can and Carls clutching.
