I'm just getting back in to snowmobiling after a 20 year hiatus. The last time I owned a sled was in 1986 and it was a 197X TNT440!. This weekend, I picked-up a 1998 SRX700 - it seems about twice as wide as my TNT and looks stunning.
I bought the SRX knowing that the track will need replacing. However, I only expect to ride 300-400 miles in a season and wanted to get some advice on whether the track is OK for another season or if it needs changing asap. I will hopefully be able to post a picture, but i notice that almost all of the lugs on the far right-hand side of the track have been sheared-off and the canvas and rod is exposed. I guess it must have been rubbing against something in the tunnel(?)
Anyway, I don't want to damage myself, the sled or anyone around me by having the track break when I'm zipping along. So please let me know if this is a safety issue. Also let me know if I can probably get another season out of it based on the distance I expect to travel.
Thanks for your help.
