My brother was driving my 03 Polaris Vertical Escape in a feild with a foot of powder when the sled came to a dead stop. The engine and clutch were fine it was almost like the track binded up. When him and his buddy got it moving again they brought it back to the house. The track has a ripe in it that tore a lug off and went so deep the track needs to be replaced. the runners are bent so the back wheel is off the ground by at least 3", and they are bent outward about a 1/2 inch in the middle. Any ideas of what could of happened? He said he was doing about 30 km/hr and the track was not wratching. I want to put a 16" track on this beast will it fit on the original set up or is there some mods i need to do to the runners or suspension set up. Could the bearings in the drive shaft cause this? Do i now have to check the bearing in the drive Shaft and Jackshaft or should the bee alright. Any info is greatly appreciated.
