Skidoo Freeride Track or Polaris 3.25 Series 9?

It was sure fun getting the driveshaft back in with those 3.25 lugs and the track being stiff/new. I just couldn’t get it with the sled suspended and sitting on both skis. Went “relatively” easy once I gave up and rolled the sled on its side…lol. Thought for a while I was going to have to do the zip tie/folded over lugs trick.

Fighting gravity

I had a board inside the track wedging the lugs up tight to the underside of the tunnel/bulkhead, and could get the driveshaft into position, but just no way could I get it to slide over and into the bottom QD bearing. it definitely went 10 times easier once on it's side lol.
