Just filled a gas can full of premium at costco for $17 and my truck for $59. Sent home from work yesterday until further notice suppose to work from home but not really an option for me. I guess they can pay me to go sledding for a while. Hope the snow holds up for a while locally.

Working on a mxz 670 for a friend that his kid crashed it went through a ravine and flew out landing hard on the back bumper. Track would not turn after and they thought chain had broken. I took it apart today and this is what I found The track would turn by hand with the secondary with the sled on my lift. My question is if the chain was stretched enough and loose can it bind up enough to keep the track for turning? Looks to me that the chain is coming around the bottom gear to much on the tensioner side. This family doesnt have good luck with sleds they are the same people I got the smashed Phazer 2 from 2 years ago.

the bottom bolt does look loose at second glance
Yes it was loose I had already broke it loose before taking the picture. I am not sure it the chain was the cause of the jam up but it was definitely stretched. I changed it out for a better used one and the machine is back on the snow. Thanks for the replies though.

got the last of the snow today, water skipped the RX-1 for some giggles.
I was out at my Moms farm yesterday dropping off my Father in laws powder special for storage. Had to see if the carbs were plugged up from sitting for two years so I went for rip across the hay field. All the low spots are full of water some surprisingly deep. Glad it didnt bog out midway. Made it back to the yard without walking so that was nice. Having closed in running boards is a plus for that kind of ride. Sorry no pics or video
