Jeff has new mirrors but I haven't seen them.  Took off right sprocket, will do left today.  Will call you.  I understand that we may have met when you where in MN a few years ago.  Three places of possible contact, Pequot Lakes, Roseau Polaris Anniversary, Grand Rapids when Campbells picked up sled from a friend.  I remember the 2 cycle blender at Roseau.  Was that you guys. Never got a drink, but helped load some heavy old stuff into the trailer.

Thanks for more info Frank. I drained some oil out of diff. I figured the level should be about 2" below the filler, then I noticed a scratch mark about there. Now it has a nice RED line there. I pulled 2 wheels on right, both need bearings.  One was bad enough to be noisey.  Had Timken 09074 and 15112. I could not believe the speedo was making all that noise I thought was differential!!!!!!!!!!!!! I emailed a Bombardier dealer near here about track belts and rubber for drive sprockets.  The reply was that they would have it.  Minnesota Outdoor Sports Specialties, mn-outdoors.com

new pix   http://s900.photobucket.com/albums/ac210/BIGDAVE2_2010/pictures/?action=view&current=spindle.jpg  Jeff called wondering if I had died or ?  Worse yet, my Johnson JX 650 seized up.  Been busy watching Canada girls play hockey.  Between periods I have been making progress on wheel bearings and drive sprockets.  Have to be ready for big show.  We have a snow groomer demo coming up and I plan to display Jeff's B12 and give a few friends rides.  Might even get a pic with new Bomber.  Replaced all wheel bearings right side and moved 3rd tire to back position because of weather checking on rear one.  I will be making a display for show.  It's no "Varnished Machine", but it is more "polished" than it was.  Thanks for all y'all's help!  BIGDAVE
