Snowdog thoughts

[dubob]

I purchased the 5/8" kold kutters on ebay. They only had the 1/2" on Amazon. They were also a bit cheaper on eBay.

Since the #8 doesn't come in 5/8" and the #10 does, I would assume you have the #10 screws.  Watching the Kold Kutter video on installation in a snowmobile track, they recommend pre-drilling the holes with a 1/8" drill bit and coating all the crews with WD40 for easier installation.  Did you follow those recommendations for installation?

Have you checked to see if any of the studs have backed out of the track since you installed them?  The #10 kutters also come in 3/4" & 7/8" lengths which would probably be even less likely to back out.  Just brainstorming here.

I went to a powersports dealer (Young Powersports in Layton) and bought the same carbide runners that go on snowmobile skis.  Little pricey but once installed on each back corner of the sled, it was well worth it. There’s cheaper options, but these were much easier/quicker to install.  Huge improvement on the ice along with the studded track on the sled.

Any chance of seeing a picture of the runners in place (installed)?  I'm having a hard time visualizing how/where they were installed.  Also, can you explain how they improved the performance?  Easier to steer on ice, tracks better on ice, ????
