I Put a 12 chaincase on my 13, it was a very easy swap, You need both the jack shaft and the drive shaft. The only issue i have is that the speedometer is reading alot slower than it should.

think I am going to stay w belt drive for now ,understand from dealer polaris is possibly going to have a some kind of durability kit or poss update ,(this is just rumor have no facts on this) but have got almost 200 mi on 3rd belt now w 12lbs boost so we will see what happens

Can you post a picture of your remake on the PRO'13 ?

This is not a bad idea. I have a boosted 13 that is on the 3rd belt in 500 mi. First belt stripped and melted to gears. The top pulley was loose and the belt made contact with the turbo muffler. The second belt I broke at 60 miles on it. Apparently not broken in. Now I am going through the 100 mile break in again.

I have a 12 600 pro I could swap all the drive belt and jack shaft components and hopefully the 600 would be a better match for the belt setup than a race gas turbo.

I know that Allen at Timbersled has a complete Pro RMK "Take off" Drive train available that he took off of a brand new 2012 PRO to run the CMX belt drive... sitting on the shelf... I'd bet he'll sell it for a fair price.

Okay, I am doing the swap this weekend. I am on my 4th belt and tired of always spending my quality riding time working on my sled.

I'm confused as why you would need a new drive shaft? The 12 drive shafts are working on the 13s, you can't go the other way for a chain case setup?

the 13 has no oil in a chaincase, therefore no seal collar on the 13 shaft

I am curious as to what you intend to do with the 13 driveshaft. And also to who you intend to do it.
