Bought this about a month ago for $350. Has 2100 miles. Nice 139" track, 503 engine, and tranny.
Rebuilt the skid and did some hood repairs and paint. Got a ridiculous amount of hours in that seat.
Put all new bearings, slides, carbides, belts, cover, and some used 3/4" picks.
Got about $600 in it total. I will use it to open up my access to main trail and pull a small skip drag.
Sucks breaking trail with those short track REVs.

I wouldn't mind having one of those around , especially at the price you paid !

Would you post some photos of the gear box setup on that , I'm playing with a couple of those transmissions and would appreciate some visual references .

Your time on the seat was well spent , thats some valuable storage space that you gained there

1990 was the 1st year the used this syle gearbox in the cheyenne. It has a "park" position between forward and reverse, eliminating the need for a parking brake. I think it uses a different drive axle than the standard safari chaincase or the older cheyenne gearbox.
Hope this helps you.

Yes it does , thanks ! I wasn't sure where the change was , just that mine was different than my 85 parts book . The 85 should have had the gear cluster at the top allowing the use of the stock exhaust . Since I have the same case as yours I'll need to rework the exhaust to exit on the right .

I just picked this one up to install on my Everest , slightly different shifter arrangement .

You have exhaust on the left side of sled (PTO)? What sled is that?
That was a good deal!!

The box pictured is going into my 85 Skandic ( Citation chassis ) . The parts book specs the same exhaust for standard and reverse applications so it must clear with the gear cluster on top , but they also had the brake rotor on the outboard end of the drive axle

The Ebay purchase is from the same guy and he included the driven pulley and drive axle for a small extra cost . I always check with him first when I'm looking for parts , great prices and and reasonable shipping ! He's been selling parts and used sleds for 30 years .

I had a 1990 Cheyenne for about 4 years. It was a trustworthy machine. The only problem I had was with the front suspension springs...I replaced at least one every year. Perhaps I should have replaced them in sets. You should try and source some spares, and yes there is a left and right.

You got me thinking, so I did a search for them and can't find any.
Do you know where I can find some?

I remember having to always order those springs from BRP. I did have a spare set when I had the machine, but can't remember if I sold them with it or not. I'll check over the weekend and let you know if I find them. Those springs were a bit undersized for that machine. It was still usable with one broken spring, for a short distance of course.

I appreciate that. Thank you

OK, I looked through my misc parts and determined that I must have sold the spare springs with the machine. Too bad as I would have donated them to you. Not sure if Safari springs fit the Cheyenne. Those were common machines around here, hopefully you'll find some. Good Luck.

That's a nice sled to have for breaking trails. I used to have a long track Tundra for breaking trails, but I sold it. I regret it though when the short track Rev gets stuck haha
