Hus-ski 444 Track guides
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2016 10:00 pm
I have at times seen discussions regarding the track slapping the bottom side of the fenders on the Hus-ski 444. Some have raised the engine compartment and fender from the under carriage to provide more clearance. The real problem with the model 444 is they did not install the upper track guides that were present in the prior models 200/200a/400. At the time I restored my model 444, I was very tempted to weld in track guides. But wanting it to be 100% correct with the restoration, I did not. Being concerned about the continued track slapping against the fender, I have decide to add them. Not wanting to disrupt my paint, I designed bolt in guides. Using self tapping bolts. A set was made up for Alan from Fairbanks AK and he ran them last winter. They definitively reduced track to fender slap. See pics.
