Hi, I smoked the Mag side crank bearings on my 03 600 this weekend. Got the crank out, new bearings, seals etc on order. When i split the cases i found the cavity between the Pto side bearings almost full of isoflex, it looked like someone had injected it thru the capped tube. I bought this sled with just over 1000kms is it possible that this was done at the factory?? It says nothing about injecting grease here in the shop manual, just to inject 45ml into the outer side of the outer PTO bearing, 10ml on the inside of the PTO seal and 6ml into the outer MAG side bearing. Why so much Isoflex on the PTO side and so little on the MAG side. There is not that much difference in the size of the bearings I want to make sure i get this right 'cranks/bearings are not cheap to repair!!!!
Skidoo also calls for all the seal lips to be lubed with Petamo grease, both the ISOFLEX and Petamo are very expensive from Skidoo, Isoflex= $68.00 per 50gram tube
Petamo= $83.00 per 400gram cartridge
They are both made by a company called LUBER they have a US division in New Hampshire with a Canadian distributor in Quebec. I will post the phone #'s tomorow. They both will sell direct and ship to you !!!
I bought from the Canadian distributor 'Isoflex= $24.00 per 50 gram tube
Petamo=$8.22 per 400gram cartridge, yes $8.22 !!!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE !!!!!!! WE ARE GETTING SC%&WED BY SKIDOO!!!!!!!!!
Any input regarding the amounts and where to put the Isoflex would be great !
Thanks in advance Mark
