2000 arctic cat 600 to mountain sled. Or somthing.

Got torque plate mocked up. Works well. Jack shaft is straight now. And Got my tank mounts attached to tunnel.

Got the chain case headed in the right direction. Found out my torque plate from the 99 was the wrong height. Guess the mountain cats has a rolled chaincase. Changes height. So found the original plate it came with. Going to graft on the motor mount portion. But the bearing is probably 2 inches lower? But along with that. Motor is mocked up. Steering is done. Scored a gas caddy and the mounts. Made up some adapter plates so I don't poke a hole through my heat exchangers. Turned out pretty slick. Gaining on things.

You should be able to find a mountain cat 600 motor mount/jackshaft bracket. It would need to be an '03 or '04 1M 600 bracket. Not sure anything else used that. Part number is 0708-404
(I had a previous version of this post that was wrong, thinking you were using an '01/'02 tunnel, not an '03. They are different)

Snap dang the motor is from a 2000 wonder if that part number would have been what I needed. It fits up nice now tho. But maybe for the future I can hunt one down. Eventually I bet I'll build somthing nasty for it on the bench and this 600 will be what it has for the time being.

Needed a little clearance for running a steering post in front of support bar, motor mount and it awfully close to the carb body. Also had a buddy cut out some tunnel stiffeners I made a cardboard template for. He just copied them onto a dxf file and cut em from some 10g aluminum.

Yup, the 2000 600 motor isn't that much different from the 03, at least the crankcase. The top end is different, but the mounting is the same.

Ditched the old brake light. Tossed a small led strip in. Made a wire cover for it under the tunnel at work on the press brake. Wrapping up loose ends and filled all fluids. Did a shake down fire up and warm up cycle. Everything was happy. Started switching from zr2 to zr3 plastics. Going for a king cat look in the end run. Always liked the look of those. But just snagged the plastics today. Hood was free but is in poor shape. Few cracks and someone slugged out a hole for a different gauge. It'll do for now. I'll shoot it orange and start lookin for a chrome wind shield. Starting to look like somthin tho.
