Piece of mind

Put in a 2005 driveshaft today. I am not going to be waiting for that shaft to fail. Mine looks like it is a (good) one however. Too bad I bought $300 in Avid drivers before the failures started. I would take $750.00 from Polaris as a smooth over.

How did that fit in a 13? Looks waaaay wider.

 

[SSABMUD]

Bad angle. Bolts directly in.

 

[mickyd32]

this is good to know. I have access to parts from an 05. What model is that coming out of?

 

[SSABMUD]

RMK 900

Mud,

what track are you running on your 13? I think I can count 9 tooth drivers on your shafts. 2.52 pitch?

 

[paulharris]

drivers will need to be changed, gonna be 2.52 pitch coming from a 2005

 

[roni87]

Looks like they are both 9 tooth...

so the driveshaft off of an 09 should bolt right in then?

The 2005 900 RMK shaft is different from the 2006-2010 RMK/Dragon driveshafts.

Not sure if that difference will matter though.

Would be great to see some pics of the 2005 shaft installed in the sled.

Great work SSABMUD

I am running a 166" track with all the windows cut. Good eye guys. Pretty sure any driveshaft from 2005 up will work. BTW, the weight difference is minimal. I bought it off eBay for $99.00 and it had very little wear. One caution, change the bearing on the clutch side to a rubber sealed bearing.

How much for your 2013 shaft with the avid's?
