I have an '05 900 Rmk with a 166 that I'm going to be parting out. I was thinking of putting the skid and track under my '01 151. What would I have ti change to make it possible? Has anyone done it before?

Drivers?

isn't the drive pitch longer on the IQ chassis sleds? 3" compared to the older 2.52".

I believe the pitch of the track is the same. Mostly you would need the measurements to mount the suspension and you will need a tunnel extension to move your heat exchanger back. Sounds like a good project.

Good luck.

track pitch is the same 2.52. I put a 151 out of a 05 900 in my gen 2 and had to move the tunnel mounts and get new cross shafts and spacers for the skid as the tunnels are narrower on the iq.

Well haven't been on much lately been busy. Thanks for the replies. I'll be hopefully trying to get started with this in the next few weeks.
