There was the fella who came and made a splash late last year had one tore down and I remember the chains in the aluminum housings. The brochure says Eight speeds... individual speeds. I am intrigued.

I am on a shopping spree again just as I was last year. Did anyone notice the price drop. Still a long tow from WI.

That double ended Kt7 is .... WTH? So ugly it is cute?

My son is wearing down He started out with a Hell no and now is making comments like.... we could visit kevin in gunnison on the way..... if we got 15MPG it would cost.... Would two dual sports fit in the van....

Oh Boy.

Oh wait I need a dig.
Tug boat or bath tub.....?

Actually Bob , The KT7 is Hydro drive . All KT3's , KT4's , and KT2's are gear drive only with a clutch brake system for turning . The A small hydrualic motor off the front of the motor runs the power for the tilt system on the KT2 and KT3 . The "Clam shell" which is all Kristi design is the only other part made by Kristi besides the transmission . Pretty simple design when you open one up . I would highly suggest that a new #60 (?) chain be installed in the clam shells before you trust the old one . Each clam shell requires a pint of gear oil .
A Krist KT3 is super simple to repair or work on .:clap:

Nope, I'm always happy to poke Al in the ribs with a sharp stick about his KT7 obsession, but when a serious question comes up about a Kristi, and they do from time to time, I do like to provide at least a little bit of helpful information.

OK, now back to our regularly scheduled Kristi bashing! :hammer:

Here now, Hole it right there. They do make for a very fine bathtub. Fill it full of nice warm water , Some flowers A little Wine on the side. And look how many girls you can get in there.
I would like to know how the KT7 incorporates the hydro drive into the drive train, Just like the snow trac it has some very unique ideas built into it.

Think i figured it out. The KT-3 has all mechanical gears. The red handle is the ranges including reverse.

The green handle is the 1-4 speeds.

I assume the Sticks then clutch or brake steer the final drive.

Then it goes to the chain drives to get to the drive sprockets.


Speaking of bath tubs..... the hot and cold water valves actually are the hydraulic circuit controls.

redsqwrl,

If you decide to get it and the current owners will deliver it to my house I can store it my shop until you can come get it. I would put it out front, but our city will ticket for bathtubs in the front yard.:whistling:

I have seen those pictures before . Turns out the guy in the picture is a known Snot Trac Felon running from the law . He actually used a D8 to try to do the damage to the track . It took 7 minutes to flip the track back on by the real Kristi owner who then pulled the broken D8 to safety . No harm done .

Very few Kristi owners have "hard feeling " toward the less fortunate Snotties , who are jealous of a real "He man " snow cat .:clap:

Dang those Kristi's are tough SOB's !!!! Almost as tough as their owners :biggrin:
