[CASEY MR F7]

Hi Guys. I know this problem was talked about before. Someone talked about their rear suspension collapsing. Turns out the cross shaft where the spring preload adjuster blocks attach to the rear suspension has only one weld per tube. Checked mine and these welds look pretty weak. Pulled my rear suspension and welded the other three sides where the cross shaft rests on the tube. Took about an hour and a half to do. Just thought you guys would like to know this. Hate to have this ruin your weekend. This may not have been necessary, but why take a chance & I've heard of a few breaking. Had mine out for it's maiden voyage & this sled kicks ass!!!! Think Snow!!!!!!

I was seriously thinking of having mine welded too, when I pull the skid to install the 1.375" track and 102 1.4" Woody's Megabites! -- Roy

CASEY MR F7,

After pulling the skid out for repair/welding, did you remove the arm from the skid assy. or weld it while it was in place? Thanks.

Was able to weld it without taking any part of the suspension apart once I dropped the suspension out of tunnel. THINK SNOW!!!!!!

CASEY MR F7,

Thanks for the info. I might bring mine over to my buddies house tomorrow who has a welder and take care of it. I'm glad to know that we don't have to dis-assemble the skid....
