Just wondering if the sleds suffering the broken driveshafts have been repaired and are back on the snow. If so how long did it take to get a replacement shaft and was it another glued one?
Has polaris gotten any of the broken driveshaft sleds back on the snow
- Thread starter mt.sledder
- Start date
The shafts are on backorder. Once they become available sleds will start getting fixed. With what...theres no telling yet. If they are replaced with the same ones that would lead me to believe it is an isolated issue with production.
Great thread...Great Idea.
Note: I've moved a couple of the posts that were not related to the intent of this thread to the "another shaft..." thread to keep this one on track.
This is a great place for our readers to keep up to date on those shafts that have broken, BUT have been fixed by the DEALER under warranty... and how that was fixed.
BTW.. Polaris Girl... great pic.

Say what?
Towed out
We broke a drive shaft in our group yesterday and had to tow out 30 miles. We are taking it to the dealer today. I will let you know how it goes.

cbc24, Thank you for posting up!
I'm not clear on what you mean by #24/25 (build numbers??).
And what did the dealer do to fix it? Replace the shaft with which shaft?
There is a lot of hype about this... but some are having genuine problems (for discussion in other threads).

Good grief, I wonder how many are actually ON the snow. Season hasn't really even started here yet. 
My guess is that those were among the first to break and they got fixed before Polaris pulled all the other available shafts.
Edit; It's not BS now is it?

Please enlighten us on how to tow a sled with a track that is jambed up in the tunnel from lack of front end support. Thanks in advance.

Buddy tow, plastic sled, or spin dead sled around and put track on tunnel of tow sled-- dead sled rides backwards on its skis. DON'T use this tow method without reinforced tunnel it can bend the tow sled tunnel.
Lets keep this thread on track please.
If YOU actually have the repair done on YOUR sled, or can give details on someone close to you that has had a broken 2013 PRO RMK alumium driveshaft replaced by your dealer under warranty... please post up here.
Thanks in advance.

Update to the shaft that i had posted to start the thread " another shaft failure" was replaced by canabalizing a 600 pro on the lot, dealer cannot get any shafts from Polaris ATM, and are not giving service depts much info on what they are up too either right now. So either guys are gonna get that knid of fix ir be own for quite some time i think until the big blue machine gets up and does something.
But it is the 2013 600 RMK x 155 that has the steel driveshaft. He is replacing the driveshaft with another with the same problems.

To be clear, it was a 800 pro rmk 155 that failed, they replaced the shaft with a 600 pro 155 ,the shaft is the same as the one that was in the 800, my point being they had to tear apart a new sled on the lot to fix the guys sled because they cannot even get a replacement shaft form Polaris ATM
