	Hi, I just bought a really neat used two seat pull-behind sleigh on skis for $25 and will need a hitch on my 91 Indy 650 to pull it. My snowmobile is just a plain old 650 (triple cylinder).....not the sks or other models. Does anyone know if I can attach a self made hitch to the rear bumper / handle? I know the bumper bar is made of metal but im not sure what kind of metal and don't know if it will handle the stress. I know there is a hitch kit out there but hear its a pain to install. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	The hitch is easy to install. Two holes in the bumper and two in the tunnel under the seat. I have a old one lying in the garage. 2004 renagade 600HO 1998 Kitty Cat 1997 Ram 1500 club cab sport 4x4 Go to work sick,Save your sick days for sledding.

	I take it the seat has to be removed for the hitch installation? How difficult is it to take off the seat? Thanks for taking the time to read and reply....I really appreciate it! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Taking off the seat is fairly easy. There should be 2 bolts in the little storage compartment on the back of the seat that come up through the tunnel. Just take those 2 bolts out and then when you get the seat loose, disconect the taillight wiring harness from under the seat and then remove seat. Very easy to do. And it's reverse for installing the seat. 1985 Indy 400 - Parted Out 1991 Indy 500 SKS - Sold 1991 Indy Trail - Sold 1997 XLT SKS 1997 Ultra http://www.snowmobilefanatics.net/SKSPolarisIndy Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Just my two cents, the triples have a higher engagement and will be effected by pull weight more than most sleds, keep the weight down and forewarn the passangers and you'll have great trail fun. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
