Just started my teardown on Sat. Starting with the rear suspension. As soon as I started pulling it out something looked strange. The front rear shock was destroyed and I never new it the last time I road last season. Took all the shocks in for rebuild and should have them back together in a couple days. Luckily all my bearings and other moving parts looked good. Greased them all including bearings. I have been using a needle grease fitting for many years now and can safely say that can extend the life of your skid wheel bearings dramatically rather than just waiting for them to go bad and replacing them periodically. Should wrap up the front half of sled this week and hopefully find no problems. Then on to the wife’s sled! I run later on preping my machines every year but then again so does the snow.
