Many years ago i boght a weel used Cat M6, from well abowe the moral circle ( I my self lives 500km north of the Polar Circle so go figure
So i been moving around this old girl for years, and my oldest son, was getting tired of my Bear cat 570, so i told him wee could just trow the M6 together.
In my conserned head seeing him abuse the bear cat, i was thinking a 600 would bee to muche engine, for the skinny kid only 40 kg(90pound ish)
But ok.... Build the sled up from the ground, maybe he takes good care of it, and drives "safe"
So like the biker movie "fixing the shadowe" wee pulled the sled in to the workshop.....
While my son pulled the skid out, i started to search for the cylinders. I was just missing the o-rings i remembered..... So that night, i spent looking for nothing.
I then found out i sold BOTH cylinders to a friend...... BOOM.
After several days searching used jugs, i found a complete F7 Donor, with extra engine..... If he can drive a 600, why not a 700......
That sled also came from up North, so it took some days to find a driver for a van a friend off mine boght in the same area..... My lord what a prodject !!!!
Meanwhile my son had pulled the skid, and the front suspension.
Lets rebuild the shocs.......
well that ended in lets find a new suspension, aaaaaaaaaaand, yeah, the front end.... Lets swap that too.
So the "new" a-arms need powder coating, lets make a bath with causticsoda to get the old paint off. Good ****, it worked fine.
Then the spindle`s : STOP DONT DO THAT, nobody told mee.... That **** ATE my alu spindle`s ! 4 of them.
But thank lord, i DONT trow ANY Cat parts, i had 2 good one in the storage ( department B)
So the whole front end is at friend with powdercoating tools. The yoke was pink is fast, black takes som time.... the other day my son said.... I consider PINK.... But wee are waiting.
Wee have also been looking for a solution for the rear end....
The solution came on Facebook, a cheap Skidoo 146.... That can work, but what ? an EZ ryde suspension under it ? 2 hours after it was posted, i boght it.
So today wee slaugtered the Summit, most of it is sold, Just need to get rid of the Rk tek 860 Powerteck engine , ore maybe sombody have som bigbor M series engine to swap with it ?
The next thing wee need is a Track, then som advice on mounting this skid in the chassi. I searched a lot online, but not much tip on hove to mount them, AND adjust them.
So all tips would bee great
Pics will come, i promise !
