I don't like how the bolts that adjust the track tension are capped (Head of the bolt and washer all one piece). I can't use the boxed end of the wrench on the jam nut anymore.
WTF!!! All metric now?

Guess everybody that rides a new Polaris is gonna need one of these:

LOL, wonder if it comes with detailed operating instructions?
Poo's use both SAE & Metric
As far as i know from asking a tech, they use both these days...

AHHHAAAHAHAHAHHHA! We've always done it that way, so it has to be the best way! HAHAHAHAHHA!
You just need to carry three extra belts and an extra clutch opener. Do you know how many broken, bent or wore out clutch openers I have seen on ski doos? haha! almost every one of them.
I didn't like that either but luckily from working on enough JD combines I knew where the exact same bolt was on them even with full threads plus without a flange head. The only problem was the head was 16mm so I ground it down a little to make it a 15mm head. Now I can easily get my wrench on the jam nut through the window on the rail.
Edzackary!Don't tell me how long your Furlong is - I don't care. WTH is a Furlong!
One or the other not both.
You would be correct up until the Pro chassis.
When you work on this type of stuff, having a vehicle using only 1 type makes things a little easier.
As far as the original poster's comments, don't conplain unless they start using inverted torx, torx plus, or spline drive fasteners....When they start using that non-sense, then you have permission to complain.
And whoever said 1/2" = 13 mm and 9/16" = 14 mm.....Please don't use a 13 mm on a 1/2" or a 9/16" on a 14 mm. Guys that do this are lazy and end up rounding half the fastener down. Use the correct tool to the correct fastener. The rest of your comparisons are ok.
5.5 yards = 1 rod = 16.5 feet, 40 rods = 1 furlong = 660 feet, 8 furlongs = 1 mile (land) = 5,280 feet, 3 miles = 1 league.
I didn't google it, I'm kind of a nerd. I do a lot of fence on farms, ranches, forest service, etc.. and they still use this system.
I prefer metric.
hmm
I just use the unit converter on my phone?
And usually any and all engineered drawings use tenths of a foot units or meters.
of course, we'll never lose the good old inch...
As a matter of fact the State of MT is now doing all their plans in tenths.. bye bye meters...

If the bolts are good quality and in good shape, a 13 mm will be loose on a 1/2" and a 14 mm will be tight on a 9/16".
Sent from my iPhone when I should be working.
so what is a barn ?
definitely 1/2" on the skid. idler wheels I think?? but the 1/2 is tighter than 13, and 12 no worky.
find 9/16 fits much tighter better than the 14 or 15?? on the rear axle as well.
confusing!!

put my skid back together last night.
there is definitely SAE in the 11 SBA skid. 1/2" if I recall for the idler wheel bolts and the limiter straps
9/16 fits tighter for the rear axle than metric. tried a number of different metric wrenches on these nuts, SAE fits better FWIW
