Re: 73 JDX4 project

[/img]Well it's been awhile since I last posted. Since I last posted, I was at a standstill. However, with he abundance of snow this year, I got the itch again. Unfortunately I'm probably not going to run it on a trail this year, but I hope to have it ready for next season. I did replace the engine...

Motor mounts/recoil

The next thing on the list for the JDX is trying to find some new motor mounts. Not sure, but I would almost think they would be somewhat universal. Any ideas where to find them would be appreciated. I am also in need of a pawl assembly for my recoil. I have a diagram of the parts schematic. but no ...

Re: ring gear hub

It appears that the same seal fits on both ends.

Re: ring gear hub

Well it's off. I applied a little heat with the propane and it slowly started to slide off. Now I will start looking for the seals to replace. Thanks for the help.

Re: ring gear hub

Brian, I have read some other posts regarding getting the hub off with some heat. I can't remember who did it, but someone mentioned using a small butane torch. So I thought that the propane would work. I don't have direct access to oxygen/acetylene. I'll give propane a try and if no luck I'll try a...

Re: ring gear hub

Thanks Brian, I will get you some photos. I do have a harmonic balance puller on it now and I have the end with a piece of flat steel covering the end of the crank. So I do not think that the crank s being compromised. I did pull out the propane torch, but I needed a little more reassurance before I...

Re: ring gear hub

I just read a past post on using stainless steel bolts on the puller for taking off the ring gear hub. Why would ss bolts work better than grade 5 bolts?

ring gear hub

I'm working on the 73 JDX4 project and I am stuck trying to get the ring gear hub off. I have a puller on it, but it ain't moving. I don't want to really reef on it yet until I know it's safe.I realize this hub has been on the machine for 37 years, but can it be that stuck. There is a little rust ar...

Re: 73 JDX4 project

Working on it today. Trying to pull the clutch off. I want to put new seals on the crankshaft without tearing it down. Anyone know where I can find a jdm-28 clutch puller or another one from a different machine that will work?

Re: 73 JDX4 project

I tore it down a little tonight and some of the things I will need to find are some rubber motor mounts and clutch removal tool. I'm also in the process of cleaning the rust out of the fuel tank. Is there a good aftermarket vintage snowmobile parts magazine/website????

Re: Rusty fuel tank

Thanks 400,
I worked on the tank tonight for awhile. The vinegar did an ok job, but I need to get more crud out. I'll throw in some stuff to agitate then I'll go with the oven cleaner. I'll have to google Kreem, but I appreciate the info.

73 JDX4 project

I have a 73 JDX4 with a K2952AX. I am just starting the process to make this a rider machine. Some questions I have so far are: can I find some new rubber motor mounts? Can I find a fuel check valve that goes in the fuel tank? Matt has sent me the link for the engine seals. I did a compression check...
