Slight bend in tip of lugs. Normal?

[bowhunter11199]

Found a clean 06’ M7 with what seems to be some slight bending in the last 1/2”-3/4” of the lugs. Red arrows pointing to some of the slight bends. Picture attached.


Is this normal? Sled has about 1500 miles

Thanks for the info. URLs didn’t work on my phone but I looked up A20 and read a few threads. Is straight leaning them an option or does it lead to eventually braking the tip of the lugs off?

I don't know much about attack 20's. i know it was a love it or hate it track, mostly hate it. Dealer turned the track backwards when they took it to the snowest challenge and it failed miserably.
I don't care for pre 2009 Arctic cats.
The M7 is a very capable mountain sled but the worst trail manners. Probably the strongest chassis of that era and most reliable engine. No reverse.....[emoji22]

We had M7s with the A20 track. You have to pick your poison with that track, really good climbing traction with NO downhill braking or marginal climbing with good downhill braking. Now these were still the climbing days, out riding with Edge RMKs. We used to turn the track around, watch the roost! Never had trouble breaking tips off, eventually the track straightens up some if run with the lugs scooping snow. I would be on the look out for a 2.6 power claw but the A20 worked fine for me for years.

Yeah, flip it around for this effect...nobody will follow you from now on.

I can confirm the rooster tail effect of turning around an A20.... Find a powerclaw to replace it with.

All of the new tracks seem to roost like crazy, My 3" claw throws softball sized clods 15 feet in the air on the road...

A 2.6 powerclaw is probably the single best upgrade to the M7. Fits with no mods required. There is a guy in Canada that developed a plug and play electronic reverse for the M7. Google M7 reverse or search M7 reverse on Facebook. I have it on My M7. Does not always work perfect but is well worth the $350 price to have reverse.
