So I scored on a complete alpha skid including the aluminum drive shaft and curious if anyone knows if my early build steel shaft bearings are the same? Just trying to source out the right stuff and get this on the snow before it’s gone.
Alpha set up on 2018 mountain cat earlybuild

On pre-ascender chassis sleds you need a whole new brake caliper, rotor, and the disk retaining nuts to swap in the Cat aluminum driveshaft. I can't imagine cat made a steel shaft for one model that was different than all the others so I'd bet your EB will be in the same boat. Check part numbers for the brake caliper on your sled with a 2018 Mountain Cat or any 2019. If they are different you'll know.
Thanks I’ll look into it, I know the early release and early build cats had steel shafts
Yep you were right, looks like I’ll be ordering the disc, caliper assembly, alum bushing and retaining nuts. Is anything needed for the chaincase side?
That’s what I was thinking as well, would like the less rotating mass tho, believe it is around 3lb lighter then the steel

where did you score the skid would like to swap mine as well to the alpha
