Hello,

I am new to the site and am looking for some help locating someone to do some crank work. I have a chance to purchase 2 sleds. First one is a 2000 XCR 800 and the second is a 2002 XC SP 700. The person I am buying them from had a dealer look at the 800 and they seem to think that the bearings might be bad. It sat all summer without a cover on and seems to have gotten water in it. The 700 did have a cover on it. They both pull over, but are a little stiff. The 800 did compression test good. Is there an easy way to check the bearings without tearing them both completely down? I am going to have $500 into the pair, so I am not into them for much, but would like to know what it may cost to fix them before I complete the deal. The wife is sore about the deal already and does not what me to stick a ton of money into them, but for that price I cannot hardly pass them up. Any help would be great.

I did read an older post about a guy in MN somewhere. Does anyone have his contact info?

Thanks again
Jason

$500?? Sh*t, get outta my way so I can snatch them up!
even if they turn out to be lemons and require lots of money to fix, part them out and make some crazy profit off the deal.

for that price quit hesitating, the 800 is worth 3 times that in poor shape. as for crank work?? who knows might not need any. but theres a bunch out there, indy dan??? i think i hear mentioned alot.
but seriously, you can i dont know 5 times your money parting them easy. but put a few hundred into each and have some great sleds.

He had my crank back to me within 48 hours. Great guy and great rates.

^^^ Agreed, Josh is a good guy. I have sold cores with bad bearings/bent rods/snapped shaft and gotten a decent price for junk cranks (junk to me, treasure to him) and then see them all shiny and back together for sale on craigslist in a week or two for very reasonable prices. He definitely knows how to do it right.
