thats fuckin awesome man. those machines are pristine and still runners! you hardly ever see a sled with close to 10000 miles on it let alone almost 30000. keep up the great work those sleds are awesome. definitely need to hear a video of them all running.
@@jasonpalka9060 cant wait to hear those beasts. Ive got a 97 myself, f chassis first year of the 809. a few ck3's are in my future for sure and i can only hope their half as clean as these sleds
I own a couple 800 skidoo wish mine look that good also have zrt 600 and 800 polaris strom 800 and rxl650 I love my triples been selling twins only have a few left
I added more videos of some of the sleds running. I will try to put more on of maybe some drag racing but winter is not cooperating so well, thank you.
Beautiful spread of CK3's!!! Thanks for sharing your collection Jason!!! Great to see others out there still representing the Doo triples on the trails.
I'm not so sure those are never ridden new sleds with old speedos put in DAM thats cleaner than new , how about doin mine ,, you must never sleep , nice sleds
Wow that's super impressive, all so clean! So jealous of being able to keep them in a temp controlled garage, that's huge. How much oil do you take with you since it seems like the higher milage sleds all had the oil injection setup removed?
Very nice sleds. When those were new i wouldnt take them seriously. Too nose heavy and noisey. I was always a big bore 2 cylinder guy. Mxz 670, 700 etc. In hingsight i would kill for one of your sleds now. So much more to them than i used to think. This video is fun for me because im a ski doo man all the way bit im a closet cat guy too. Thnx for sharing uour hard work!
Yes we started out as twin guys also but got tired of wearing out clutches and drive line parts when the triples came out we switched and never looked back. We can not seem to wear them out. Funny how the magazines use to complain about the weight of the triples but they say nothing about these new huge top heavy snowmobiles, ours parked next to them look like 3/4 scale sleds.
our sleds are really never started in cold weather after sitting outside, they are pulled into a heated garage every night. i am sure they would also be hard to start if they sat out all night. try to keep the engine warm if this is your case (engine heater or electric blanket)
Thank you, sleds get pulled into a climate-controlled garage to get thawed out every night after riding, we just keep up with them so you don't get to far behind on the clean-up.
Awesome collection Jason! I'm just venturing into CK3 territory with my latest purchase this summer, a 99 Z with Crankshop pipes. But mine isn't all nice like any of your sleds. Apparently it has 98 engine and wiring. I put in a mechanical reverse chaincase . I have some questions that you might be able to help with: 1. Temp gauge isn't working, common thing? I've googled but didn't find much. 2. Shock recommendation? I have shot HPG's that i think isn't rebuildable. Are there other options from like "early 2000 Ski-doo MXZ's? Much more common here in Sweden where I live. 3. Noticed most of the clutches are out for "summerizing". Is that a thing on these? Thanks in advance and greetings from Sweden! Looking forward to more videos!
temp gauge not working is not a common problem but we did have one go bad after overheating, also check for a broken wire by sender. shocks mxzs have longer shocks, take yours off and measure between eyelets 99-03 should be 15 1/2" we run ours like the 98 16 1/2" for trail riding. we pull the clutches apart after each season to clean clutches and relax the springs. thanks so much, jason.
@@jasonpalka9060 Many thanks Jason 👍 Why the chaincase mod then? Common for them to granade or are you just hunting kilograms? Sorry in advance if I'm asking too many questions 🙈
I have a 2001 tech plus i bought new. My son took the mpem module off it and it got lost. Can you help me find a way to fix my sled? It has low mileage and I stretched it to 136 and i loved it. Thanks! I have a 22 Mach Z now but miss my 2 stroke
So, unless it’s an illusion, it appears you trimmed off the upper “lip” of most windshields or are they aftermarket inserts? Also, can these tinted windshields be wet sanded or polished to remove minor smudges, dulled out spots and scratches? If so, what method would you recommend for best results? Thanks
yes they are trimmed down factory windshields. we have had success polishing out minor scuffs and blemishes. none of or scratches required wet sanding but i do not see why you could not do it, just make sure you finish off with 2000 grit. we will buff them with a wool pad and heavier compound and work your way down to a foam pad and finer swirl remover polish.
Very curious about the electric water pump mod!!! Any info or direction to gather info would be amazing. I assume its as straight forward as installing as aftermarket one on a hot rod but still figured Id ask
it is quite involved as you have to remove the factory pump and all its workings and i added a dedenbear electric pump. i added a lithium battery with all the wiring, switches, and charging system of an electric start mach z. make sure you do not forget to turn it on, i put a light up by the gauges so you can see when it is working.
Awesome... I bought one new in 98... best most reliable toy I've ever purchased.. got the new Turbo ones now. great engineering but not the same awesome character.....
yes it will be fine, we just did it to a friends 800 just like yours. you will have to roll the chain case if you want to run studs. @@connorbarkie5013
thanks so much, Northern Illinois. yes snowmobiles are registered in Wisconsin we do not ride in Illinois as there are to many road crossings , culverts, and fences.
Thanks for the info Dale...Here in Ohio when we get our 5 inch annual snowfall, we pull the tarp off, shake the mouse 🐀 nest out of the air box and go ditch bagging. No time to install the clutches, the snow will be gone by then.
They just look that way because we take care of them but as I said in the video they are the only snowmobiles we have. Each one gets ridden at least a thousand miles a season!
Wonderful collection. These are in immaculate condition, obviously maintained to extremely high standards with love. Thanks for sharing, this has become my favorite video, l love these sleds.
As a Polaris guy I still have to say(absolutely beautiful set of horses in your stable) Love it man
Thank you very much!
Sick ol rigs
thank you so much

@@jasonpalka9060 cant wait to hear those beasts. Ive got a 97 myself, f chassis first year of the 809. a few ck3's are in my future for sure and i can only hope their half as clean as these sleds
Very awesome!! Can you do a video of some of them running when it gets closer to season? I'm sure they are all summerized.
thank you, yes i was plaining on doing a video of them running and on the trail as soon as the snow starts flying again this winter.
I own a couple 800 skidoo wish mine look that good also have zrt 600 and 800 polaris strom 800 and rxl650 I love my triples been selling twins only have a few left
I can not believe how clean this sled is with this tons of miles. You are awesome ! Thank's for your videos !
thank you very much! I posted more videos of some of them running.
Thats is very generous of you. Just seen them all. Wow. You made a nice morning for me ! 😂 Thank you !
glad you liked the videos thanks a lot.
Damn, very impressive!!!! So jealous! Good to see there are fellow OCD sledders out there! Great collection - long live the Mach Z……..
thank you so much
Wow so impressive!!!! How does that one have 27000miles and still look brand new
i am the original owner of that sled. it has always been in a enclosed trailer or a climate controlled garage
Awesome video can’t wait for more this winter!!
I added more videos of some of the sleds running. I will try to put more on of maybe some drag racing but winter is not cooperating so well, thank you.
Beautiful spread of CK3's!!! Thanks for sharing your collection Jason!!! Great to see others out there still representing the Doo triples on the trails.
thank you
Wow, what an insane, clean collection, need to hear those triples fired up
I finally got a chance to run the sleds and I posted some videos for you to watch, thank you.
I'm not so sure those are never ridden new sleds with old speedos put in DAM thats cleaner than new , how about doin mine ,, you must never sleep , nice sleds
thanks alot, me and my brother restore muscle cars for a living so keeping stuff pristine is kind of are thing.
One question… seats look brand new. You replacing as the day/years progress?
Wow that's super impressive, all so clean! So jealous of being able to keep them in a temp controlled garage, that's huge. How much oil do you take with you since it seems like the higher milage sleds all had the oil injection setup removed?
we leave with a full tank and each sled has a quart with them. which gives you another fill up we are good for 200 miles.
Very nice sleds. When those were new i wouldnt take them seriously. Too nose heavy and noisey. I was always a big bore 2 cylinder guy. Mxz 670, 700 etc. In hingsight i would kill for one of your sleds now. So much more to them than i used to think.

Incredible
thanks so much
Very nice collection!!!!!
thank you
I have a 2001 mxz 800 with a big bore kit, it's a bear to pullstart, your 1100 starts easier than mine any ideas? Thanks
our sleds are really never started in cold weather after sitting outside, they are pulled into a heated garage every night. i am sure they would also be hard to start if they sat out all night. try to keep the engine warm if this is your case (engine heater or electric blanket)
What Polaris chassis do you steal the heat exchangers from? Just regular wedge running board coolers?
yes, that is correct. It takes some planning out so you can run the hoses correctly, so they don't interfere with anything.
Amazing sleds, would like to know what you do to keep them this clean?
Thank you, sleds get pulled into a climate-controlled garage to get thawed out every night after riding, we just keep up with them so you don't get to far behind on the clean-up.
Wish I had a collection like that
Sick collection

@@jasonpalka9060 Many thanks Jason 👍
Why the chaincase mod then? Common for them to granade or are you just hunting kilograms?
Sorry in advance if I'm asking too many questions 🙈
so you have clearance to run a taller lug track and longer stud as chain case is dropped and rolled.@@waste0ftime1
@@jasonpalka9060 Aah. I see! Well that explains it. Many thanks again Jason!
Well how fast is fastest top two sleds...120mph+?
they are clutched and geared for 660 ft. for drag racing, still with this set up 119 and 116 in 1000 ft. on snow and you will get there very quickly.
Insane!
I have a 2001 tech plus i bought new. My son took the mpem module off it and it got lost. Can you help me find a way to fix my sled? It has low mileage and I stretched it to 136 and i loved it.
Thanks!
I have a 22 Mach Z now but miss my 2 stroke
try looking at dootalk website or salvage yards like Mickey's in Mi. (989)839-9744 or AL'S in Vt. (802)334-7239. good luck

My 2000 gt 800 se caught fire and I need help finding parts to bring it back to life 😢 any help would be greatly appreciated!
try salvage yards or go on doo talk website.
Awesome... I bought one new in 98... best most reliable toy I've ever purchased.. got the new Turbo ones now. great engineering but not the same awesome character.....
yes they truly are like classic muscle cars of the 60's and 70's!
nice sleds
thank you
Very nice
Thanks
one day :|
Were are you located
I thought Skidmore ran their coolers under the seat top of tunnel
yes they do we just added coolers to get more volume to aid in cooling
What size studs are you running in on those sleds? Looks like they would bite hard!
we run woodys trigger 1.575 and yes they hook hard especially with the new track design we are now running.
@@jasonpalka9060 Aw okay, so definitely need to do a rolled chaincase for that. I’ll have to look into that! Seems worth it.
What size drivers are you running with the 2.86 tracks?
8 tooth they are the same diameter as a 2.52 pitch 9 tooth that way you do not have to mess with gearing.
You think that track setup would work well on 800 trail ported motor? Don’t wanna lug it too much. Seems your running it on larger cc builds.
yes it will be fine, we just did it to a friends 800 just like yours. you will have to roll the chain case if you want to run studs. @@connorbarkie5013
😮😮😮
Wow! Beautiful shape. Where are you located?
the trail tags show Wisconsin
thanks so much, Northern Illinois. yes snowmobiles are registered in Wisconsin we do not ride in Illinois as there are to many road crossings , culverts, and fences.
When the clutch’s are off you know a guy knows a thing or two
Not to sound ignorant but why would one take off the clutches?
@@spaceboy7192 in order for them to work at top efficiency they need to have no sticky spots and clean. Most people don’t do this.
Thanks for the info Dale...Here in Ohio when we get our 5 inch annual snowfall, we pull the tarp off, shake the mouse 🐀 nest out of the air box and go ditch bagging. No time to install the clutches, the snow will be gone by then.
If you're gonna have one Arctic cat why wouldn't you have the thundercat?😮
Super nice collection 😊
the only reason I have this Arctic cat is because it was given to me. if someone would give me a Thundercat I would take that also!
Any for sale?
no i am sorry not at this time.
Very nice
Thanks
Cool collection. Too bad your collection is mainly garage queens!
They just look that way because we take care of them but as I said in the video they are the only snowmobiles we have. Each one gets ridden at least a thousand miles a season!
Wonderful collection. These are in immaculate condition, obviously maintained to extremely high standards with love.
