PTO front, don't know when it broke, but it put a bad twist on things and started eating belts. 2005 with a 144".
Yes.. These high HP Twin Polaris Engines love to tear the motor mounts!
Hey Guys..
While working the the shop last night, i made a couple handy tools. One is Pretty simple while the other one is a life saver! Here you go..
First one was how the heck am i going to lift my engine out and or just up.. With only ONE Person... Hmm.. I got it.. So i found a old BR9ES Laying around put it in the Vise and and broke it all apart ... then found large NUT About 1 1/4.. Welded it to the top of the now broken spark plug!! I did this to two of them!!
WOW .. I have a engine lift now!! i put a strap through them and lifted with my engine hoist!!
Second Tool i came across as NEEDING.. Hmm i got the engine lifted up a good 2 1/2 feet.. Trying to replace the front left engine mount... Got the air hammer in there... No Luck,, Got a Huge BFH out no luck.. HMM thinking there has got to be a better Way!!
Yes there is.. MAKE a Socket to go right over the engine Mount!! Bingo!! I am in Biz!!! 20 min later here's what i came up with!!
I put a 1/2 Impact on it.. Motor Mount came right out.. I even tighten the new one in with my new tool!!
So Guys.. Post your Home made TOOLS!!!!
You always have to have the right tool for the job!!
Let me know what u think..
I can give you all the sizes i used! ????

had terrible luck last year trying to diagnose my sleds bogging issues. along with blowing belts every 200 miles. I had not heard of the 700 tearing motor mounts but sure enough my pto side motor mount is toast.
CHECK THEM ALL REAL GOOD. FRT AND REAR PROBABLY NEED CHANGING.ONCE ONE GOES IT PUTS HUGE LOAD ON THE REST.

How easy is it to tell if the mounts are broke?
I looked at them as best I could with the engine still in. They seem OK but it's hard to get a good look at them. Will they show signs? Would the engine move a great deal by pushing on it by hand? Don't tell me I have to pull the engine just to check?

Get a long handled pry bar and check all corners of the motor. It was easy to see that the motor was moving considering there should be littleto no movement when using a pry bar.
