Bolens Diablo Rouge and Hus Ski Discussion Forums

Bruce, thanks for the info....it is exactly what I needed to get me going. Easier to understand than a lot of car and truck repair manuals I have seen! I am going to take pictures during the job, so I remember where everything came from...and where it goes back to. Hal

I have searched high and low, and can't seem to find a manual for my Diablo Rouge model 500. I need to replace a stripped drive sprocket, and I guess I should replace all of them while I am there. But....... I could use an outline of how to proceed. I figure if I was able to replace the clutch on my...

My 444 has the red dyno label with 650085. That makes it what year? Thanks. H.

Well, after too many hours driving to see some 'decent' Hus-Skis for sale.....I came home with them....wondering what I got myself into. One is a 444, and one is a 200. The tracks are totally shot on both of them. Where is a good source to buy the rubber belting, to build a set of tracks? I hope the...
