I have a four sets of tracks of our own for our Polaris machines, have not mounted any yet as I am not convinced this round of snow will stick around long enough. Too warm, its going to be in the 40's for a few days
I am working on our plow truck though, this thing is a real PITA!! 1986 Ford F250 with a 472 (rebuilt 460) and a Boss V plow....keeps dying right out front while pushing snow. I have it narrowed down to the duraspark distributor so will be replacing that today.
The good news is the blue ranger is finally at the house after 3 days of messing with the plow and the road, so I can replace the T case this am
It seems the 02+ Rangers with the SOHC and a 5 speed and some higher miles can have this issue in 4hi under load....I had never heard of a 1354 t case doing that, but now I have seen it myself...the chain is skipping!!
This will be t case #3 for this truck in 360K miles, the first one was run dry and split the case, second one was used from a wrecker and has been skipping the chain since installed. This is probably why we have had to replace U joints and a front diff
