Do you go through Chicago on your trip? I don't need sleds or anything but I will be attending Illinois Tech there this fall and it would be cool to meet up with another JD sled enthusiast.

is there any chance that it could be firing at top and bottom, I need my timing light back to check but I was wondering if it could be a possibility. thanks

sorry about the mistake, recent check of the service manual shows that they all did have 780s. My question is, Rich, did Deere have a replacement program then for the 850's? I though that all Salisburys were phased out after the 73 model year but i guess not. I am also so used to having all of my gr...

Wouldn't the X4 have a Salisbury on it? Your 300 should have a Comet and if this is the case then you should put the 300's Comet 100c on your X4 engine.

i'm pretty sure that this will fit, if anyone could tell me. 4636497181 ebay number

screwing in the clutch puller is no help if there is no way to hold the clutch still. on my trailfire, i used a pipe wrench which i wouldn't suggest unless you don't have something else. put sled on side and filled with penetrating oil, tightened as much as i could. my dad and i ended up putting a p...

ok, dk trader had stuff cheap so i figured i'd get new trigger coils and coil ignitor so i can say thats its not the electrical itsself and i will get a new flywheel when i got to the junkyard. also, is the spit engine the c202 or the a202? i could have put the part with the wrong tag back on it as ...

i don't know if this is right but i think that the cdi is part of the coil ignitor itsself. stator plugs directly into coil and then goes directly to plugs, no box like on kohlers and cyclones. could someone expain how that works?

i just rebuilt the entire engine and put the stator how the sm told me too and whre it was before. i think the broken magnets was a disassembly thing but it was replaced with a mechanically sound one. i also thing that it might be somewhat impossible to put those stators on upside down, they are pre...

i was just looking, is a coil off of a trailfire 340 model ta340a different than that of a tb340a?

got the timing light on it today and located where i'm firing. i'm 180 off. but when i tried switching the plugs to get it to run right, it still backfires and doesn't start. i know that it is firing backwards but i don't know why it won't start now. my next theory is that twyhen the wires cross, th...

finally got all of the parts to put my 82 spitifre back together yesterday after i burned down the pto side the past winter. however, when pulling the flywheel off something wrong happened and all the magnets broke and came off. i didn't pull it, my dad did. anyway, i had an extra free air flywheel ...

just out of curiosity, how come deere liquid cooled sleds are considered the performance sleds? they all got dual carbs except for the sprintfire, but no regular production fan cooled sled ever got twins. also, in the 76 model year, with basically the same engine, a liquifire has 11 more horsepower....

ok, so i know the tunnel color and bogie colors. now a couple of more things to paint: the track tensioners on the idler set. also, what black were all of the components, flat or gloss? i'm also guessing that the gas tank wasn't winterfrost 2 so i need a color for that. also, was the muffler silver ...

sorry about the mistake but the sled is a 73 with the older bogie wheels, did they ever have a color? all the ones i've seen are rusted
