    We're going to have a rough time running these machines around with no tires and no clutches.
    Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

    (6) Attex, a Hustler, a Super Swamp Fox, (2) Tricarts, (3) Tri-sports, a Sno-co trike, 3 Dunecycles, and a Starcraft! ...so far

      This is seriously depressing.

      They had great products and customer support.

              Do you guys not resurface clutches.Very common here.Keep your old backing plates.And you can select different friction material grades.

                        Yeah, it's sad to see another company not be able to survive the economic impacts. I heard this was going to happen weeks ago, but didn't want to say anything, because I didn't want it to seem like a rumor.

                        I've just talked to Roy at Quality Drive Systems. That's where I get all my clutches, belts, spare parts. He said don't worry. You'll still be able to get anything you need. If you have any problems finding what you need write this # down 626-293-5770.
