Quick Drive "Zip Tie" method RMK 850

[Mp3performance]

Here is a video of pro ride gears being installed on my pro RMK 850 with the "zip tie" method. The video is in french? but at the 2:35 minute mark you will get a good idea on how well this technic really works?

All I understood was "Yesss sirrr". Someone showed me this back in 2013 when the first QDS came out. Works well, you just have to leverage where that zip tie is.

I still use a set of adapters in conjunction with a zip and it's even easier !!!

I didn't know I spoke French, it sounds like a few choice words Ive heard used in the field with frozen fingers changing out the belt
Why doesn't everyone just use a 3lb sledge hammer like the rest of us?
JK, the zip tie method works well. Thanks for posting the tip and video

I built a spreader out of about a 6” turnbuckle. Cut the turnbuckle Center part to build 2 forks then trim them to about a 1” length. Cut the right hand threaded hook off leaving just the threaded portion of the right hand thread. Add a nut to it and then thread it into the height hand turnbuckle that is cut to resemble a 2 prong fork. Drill out the left hand threads on the other end of the turnbuckle so the right hand thread easily slides into it. You now have a double ended 2 prong spreader that can be inserted in between the 2 pulleys to spread them apart to slide them right into the splined shafts. This is even easier than the Polaris tools and zip tie method.
