I HAVE A 79' T/F AND NEED THE SHOCK THAT IS UNDER THE SEAT.

ANY INFO ON OTHER TYPE THAT WILL WORK OR IF ANY BODY HAS FAB SOMETHING UP. I REALY DON'T WANT TO CHANG THAT MUCH BECAUSE EVERY THING BUT THE TRACK IS ORIGINAL.

My first question would be is it a replacement track?? or a different track & maybe suspension from another brand sled??? we need more info on that????

There probably isn't any NOS suspension shocks out there & finding a good used one might not be easy either, But there are replacement shocks that can be purchased from
MN Vintage snowmobile, Kimpex, or Dennis Kurk & other aftermarket suppliers you just need to know what you ID is of the bolt holes, compressed length, & extended length..
You might first CK with the JD East Beach Whse. ( Joe " Have Trailer Will Haul " Rainville ) to see if he has a NOS AM54745 shock.

B, I feel pretty comfortable that the track/suspension is stock. Dad or Uncle John wouldn't have changed it. UD

RICH,

YES I DID GET THE INFO AND E-MAILED YOU BACK. I AM GOING TO SEND YOU A MONEY ORDER.

IF THE SHOCK IS OK JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH AND I WILL DO THE SAME FOR THAT.

NOW FOR THE SLED YOU ARE PARTING OUT WHAT IS MISSING?

MY SLED IS PRETTY CLEAN NOW BUT I COULD ALWAYS USE BACK UPS.

THANKS,
