Re: john deere 440 cyclone
the late 80's to mid 90S polaris indy skids go in pretty easy. Then you can also convert to a newer 121 rubber track. You may have to re-drill holes. Just take measurements off donor sled. Almost any other skid can fit, just depends on how much work you want to do. There is a thread on here some where, several guys have installed newer liquifre skids with an arctic cat rubber track.

Anything is possible, but no, not really. At that point, why don't you fix up the SKS to ride?

Re: john deere 440 cyclone
This seems to come up a lot. I like the vintage sled but I want to change the track, suspension, tunnel, steering, ski,s etc. Just take a modern sled and put the vintage hood on that and it would be cheaper and give the results your looking for. Defiantly less maintenance, dependability and better gas mileage for sure. For me, I kind of like the 2" of travel and the clicking of the cleats.
I just think that riding vintage needs to be appreciated for what it is. Riding and fixing old junk and loving it.

The SKS was scrapped when i got it but now i have a 1983 polaris 600 suspension it bolted right in with the chaincase and driversMatt wrote:Anything is possible, but no, not really. At that point, why don't you fix up the SKS to ride?
