WTB Jackshaft for CC sled

Post by 427cobra »

Does anyone have a extra arctic cat jackshaft that fits the JD sleds? I plan on using the AC roller secondary on my JD CC sled.

OR if someone knows what AC sled the jackshaft is used on I can start searching ebay...

Thanks!

Eric,
I haven't put the 80's jackshaft next to a '78, but I can tell you the full 1" jackshaft I used in my 78LF came from a 70's model El Tigre. Not sure the exact year, but fit perfectly with a mid-90's AC roller. Overall dimensions are the same, spline same in chain case (still use JD gearing), only difference is full 1" all the way out on secondary, whereas the early series LF reduce to 7/8". I believe Rainville and Waters were working with 80LF's so they may have better info.

Eric,

Mitch is right on. We used some misc Cat jackshafts from late 70's to early 80's El Tigre's. I would take your jackshaft to a bone yard and match up the chain case end to one that is a full 1" on the clutch end. They were not hard to find at all, and we are both using ZR era roller clutches.

I hope this helps,
-Joe
