Re: Correct Tach?

Ok that’s what I thought - I’m the 2nd owner so I don’t know where the Tach came from. I’ve got a couple places up here in 🇨🇦 where I’m going to check, but I will keep that in mind.

Thanks!

Re: Correct Tach?

Ok, I found a photo of one online, but it doesn’t have the JD logo…

Correct Tach?

The Tach in my Trailfire 340 “kinda” works, but is obviously not accurate - I thought it was an electrical issue, but then I discovered there are multiple JD Tachs…. :wall: I’m just looking for confirmation which Tach I need. Does it go up to 10,000 rpm? Does it have the JD logo? I have attached a c...

Re: Trailfire Air Intake Silencer

Nope, that’s how it looked when I found it in the sled’s airbox.

Re: Trailfire Intake restricter

I’m not sure I would use a PTO shield as a comparison as there are potentially fatal consequences of it’s removal. I’m sure millions were removed, but ours were not & I still have all of my limbs! I could be way off-track here, but I presume the restrictor is designed to “meter” the air intake t...

Re: Trailfire Intake restricter

It looks to me like it’s basically a reducer tapered down from approx. 2” down to 1.25” I.D. Here’s a few photos: F38A0A3C-66E4-4FEB-B6D9-663253558945.jpeg 83191689-8C51-49E4-B851-407A3F98DC87.jpeg 2E1C8C22-73BD-4D15-BA54-30C661E57B21.jpeg TwoDeereSleds 1981 Trailfire 340 1975 John Deere 300

Re: Trailfire Intake restricter

While browsing the forum, I saw this and discovered my 1981 Trailfire 340 is missing Tube #5, but has the plastic Restrictor. I’m worried about it running too lean, so I’m hoping someone can tell me the material (aluminum/rubber?) and dimensions so I can try to find something that should work. Any i...

Trailfire Air Intake Silencer

I have a 1981 Trailfire 340 and recently discovered that I’m missing the “tube” (#5) in the parts diagram: DBA85FFB-A283-4677-BBC7-4A2887A695BF.jpeg I believe I have all of the other parts shown, but I can’t find much information online, so I’m hoping someone here can tell me what the tube is made o...
