1970 Stalker, PLEASE HELP

[supergolfer]

Guys, I started a thread during the winter as I was rebuilding a 1970 Stalker. Well this past weekend I was able to get the tires on and finish the unit! Upon my first ride I notied that I had to pull really hard (I mean hard) to get it to turn and sometimes when pulling on the left stick there was a nasty grinding sound. I can only assume that the Form Sprag Clutches have seen better days so I was wondering if any of you know which rebuild kit to get for the clutches?

Thanks, John

the part number is on the clutch plates when disasembled. I believe i sent you the link on where to get them, pull them apart get the #s off them and email them

[supergolfer]

Yes you did send me the information on where to get them... I will pull the unit apart and see what the numbers are. I am guessing that I need four rebuild kits, two for the clutches and two for the brakes?

schlow09, what parts are you looking for? i have a stalker and quite a bit of info on them

[schlow09]

outstanding! well right off the bat im short the chain for the right front drive, leaving me with 5 wheel drive. its def a project and im just getting into all the pieces and parts. i also know i do not have any interior pieces,seat, floorboard etc. the rest seems to be complete although im sure i will find some parts that need replacing along the way. i am curious as to what a fully functional stalker is capable of????

[trebmaster]

the stalker is a 1970's mybey 25 produced machene, capabilities are not what modern machenes are. they are fast but not real reliable in the back trails.I consider them more of a novalty machine. the one i have is painted pink camo for my wife. axles are small and twist easy, breaking is inadiquit for a skid steer, body cant take the twistand breaks often. although it is an important part of AATV history.

yea i can see that, beyond the rather small frame the engine sits on theres nothing but plastic. how do they fair through a small water hazard???

[trebmaster]

if you are looking for a machene for every day play i would recomend a max11, very reliable and parts are still made for it. stalker could be OK I Guess, if you put a T20 in it.

[schlow09]

im sure your right, but that still leaves me with a stalker project that i am determined to get finished haha that being said whats your best recomendation for parts???

[Stalkerette]

You could always buy mine!! Treb keeps fixing it, and i take it out, drive it, and break it again!! I told him he has to buy me an Argo so i can keep up with him...

[schlow09]

ha what do you keep breaking???

[trebmaster]

schlow09, pm me with your emial address and i will send you all the info i have on stalker. clutches motor,and trans. as far as chain and bearings you can get them from a good hardware store or something like Grainger or Mc master carr.
