My 72 400 had home made spreaders- 2 flat plates about 4 inches wide bolted on top of the ski. It made it very stable but very hard to steer. I ended up taking them out this year. Just something to think about.

I was there with the 78 Cyclone and the 72 400. That was a heck of a nice Dator and Liquifire. It was a great ride. My 400 ran great but wasn't starting well. I had to pull a plug and shoot some ether in there every time to start it. The Cyclone ran good once I pulled the carb apart in the middle of...

Good find! What part of the country are you in?

Thanks guys, I'll give those ideas a try

I'm starting on the restoration or my 74 300 and was wondering the best way to clean up aluminum parts on the motor. I'm completly disassembling the engine and rebuilding. Thanks,

I'd say my pair of 300's last week are my best find. 100 bucks for teh pair. I'm going to start stripping them down tomorrow.

I got a .50 cal black powder rifle and some new tools. Hard to beat more tools. I picked up some green bibs for my wife off of ebay for teh vintage ride. Merry christmas everyone!

I picked up a pair of 74 300's today. Got both of them for $100. One's in good shape overall and needs a track, the other one is junk but has a great track. Neither have seats. I'll get some picks up when I take them.

Thanks,
I've never heard of locktighting a bearing on, but I guess it makes sense. I appreciate the help.

Hi Guys~ The bearing on the jackshaft of my 400 went out. I pulled it apart today to replace. It's the bearing between the secondary and the brake assembly that went out but I'm going to replace both bearings on the shaft. My question is- What locks the bearings to the shaft? They are held in place ...

Sorry Mean Green, hope I didn't waste too much of your time with my dumb post. Thanks for the info Brad, that's a really cool project and it was fun to see the progress shots he has posted on the website.

I was at the big sandy vintage ride in McGregor this weekend and saw a JD Sunfire. What is this? Is it a real sled or someones conversion? It looked alot like a liquifire chassis, but had a yellow seat and hood.

I was out on the lake last weekend. Good ice but lots of ice heaves. There are some open patches right by the heave but the rest of the ice is better than 7 inches. I'll definately be there. I just picked up a 72 400 for my wife to ride. If you guys spot her and a cyclone followed by a Panther, give...

I'll be there, Just got the Cyclone running for the first time last night about midnight!

I'm just waiting for my cylinders to finish up the cyclone, just a few questions....

Torque specs for heads, stock carb settings and type of chaincase lube.

Thanks!
