tell me about it.....this is the real reason i recently got an 2010 M8, no worry riding, the hood only comes up to add oil
So is the DD fixed for 2010 or did I buy something I need to be constantly checking as well?
Just picked up a '10 M8 SP on Friday.
Hatchers, I just may take you up on this. I will pay you for your time. It ruined the gears also but a friend of mine had his DD blow up last year on his M8. He bought a used DD off an M1000 and replaced the gears. So he has M1000 gears that he is going to give me.
I wish I had a warrenty. It's a 2007 sled that I bought used last year. If I could afford a new sled with 0 miles I would. For the money that I spent on repairs this year I probably could have bought new.
M1000 is geared higher than M8

gearing down can only be a good thing, not bad
Right, that's why you dot want to put a M1000 gear set in a M8,
M8 to M1000 is good swap though

Wow what a very nice person,mabey their is hope for the human race after all.Utahedge you have a pm, I know someone that lives in clinton mabey we can save you a drive. I live in west jordon and see him almost every day. can take it to hatchers for you.
If Hatchers doesn't get you hooked up, let me know. I have rebuilt drives on hand and they are about $250.00 with exchange, depending on how bad your old DD looks. Kudos to Hatchers for his kindness, nothin in it for him.
Thanks to every one for the offers. Hatchers, you are one of a kind. Truely a great guy.
I was looking closer at the planetary last night and noticed that there are several teeth missing on pretty much every gear. The hole thing is toast. I got ahold of black diamond and they have planetary gears for $180. That is better than arctic cats $350.
Thanks again for the offers.
Any one want to buy a 07 M1000 with a new top end and new diamond drive?

I hate to bring up more bad news, but I hope you plan on replacing the bearings as well. Once a gear comes apart inside a DD, the bearings won't last long after. All the metal shards and shavings have gone thru the bearings and they may feel ok now, but they won't last long. I've had my share of problems with mine, so I'm just saying with experience also...

When I was looking at the planetary on monday I also noticed that the open bearings on dd cover didn't roll as smooth as they should so I ordered a bearing kit from black diamond along with the new planetary.
Thanks for the suggestion.
My friend has some 60/60's that he is going to give me. Thanks so much for the offer.

No Problem. If it changes let me know. If your going to toss your input gear (the one the secondary hooks to) I would take it. I want to make a secondary press and I need that spline shaft. I will pay for the shipping. I cold use the extra gear that I have but hate to cut up a good gear.
