I think your gona have to go with 8 tooth drivers on this one.

^X2^ Much more than 1.5 will hit front exchanger. Even if you run it tight.
It will fit, but it will be snug and might not be the most efficient way to move snow through the tunnel. With 8's no problem.

i found this track on kjiji and the address was near by. $500.00
is 500 a deal or is it over priced.

it will fit w/o protectors!
it will 110% fit without the front and tunnel protectors in the sled with the stock 9 tooth drivers....however, they do like to pack the tunnel full and tight sometimes with wet/heavy snow if the track speed is not kept up. My suggestion is to get it if its cheap and take a brand new razor knife and simply trim the lugs down to 1.5" tall. They work very well in snow then and still get incredible traction. You will notice a decrease in topspeed due to the lug height basicly acts like a fan under there, but if your not worried about going 100mph then they work fantastic at about 1.5" lug.
I ran these at 1.75" lug and like I said, it was no problem for me,but letting another person ride it and they didnt keep the track speed up lead to us having to tip the sled over a couple times to unpack the front of the tunnel by the drivers, would pack it up with wet/heavy snow cause it cant escape the tunnel, lugs too close to the exchanger/tunnel. trimmed the track back to 1.5 lug and no more problems.
8 tooth drivers suck
, they make the track harder to turn and screw up gearing, I dont use them unless last resort in a big lug track/stud set up. for someone who "HAS to have studs" on a 1.25 and bigger lug track.

If going 1.75 with 8t drivers will I need extroverts?
no, you dont have to go extrovert but you will find the definition of making the sled slow after going to 8 tooth drivers.
If your that stuck on going with a 1.75" lug, then remove all the protectors and it WILL fit with 9 tooth drivers i guarantee it. Its just close. 1.5 is a very good all around lug size and you get somewhat decent topend yet,again stick with the 9 tooth drivers.
Also remember, going to 8 tooth drivers your gears will need to be changed along with the speedo drive also or none of it will be correct. Its a step backwards for sure,but its your sled.

My speedos been broke for years, I planned on dropping 2 teeth anyways, This sled will not be /rarely ridden on trails, protectors have been removed and skids been dropped. I ask because even now I get some ratcheting with my 1 3/8" lug track.
