Earlier this spring, out bear hunting, one of our Indy's stopped moving.
Motor ran good clutches were trying to work but the track would not turn. Ice or snow was not a problem. Had to put it on our "bear" sled and pull it out 17 miles. It has been on the trailer ever since.
Well I thought we would need it sooner then we think, not to mention hunting seasons start the first of Sept, In fact, some of our "Shoulder" cow elk seasons started last Saturday.
This unit has reverse but it did not work I was thinking the reverse gear got loose or something and was stopping it from going either direction. I opened up the Chain box and pulled everything out. It all looked OK for a 96 anyway, Nothing looked out of place. BUT the track still will not move. HUMM?
I'm going to tip it over and see what I see, I can see one bogie wheels is in bad need for replacement.
I don't think the "drive shaft" would be the problem. I gave no evidence, or noise when we were running it. The problem happened when we stopped. I have read a track can seize due to several reasons. I probably could pull out the suspension by myself self but the shaft looks like a two-person job.
Anyone here a snowmobile guru? Insight or information?
