I re-placed these this past summer. I bought SKF bearings at Napa auto parts. Car Quest also had them. You can also use Fafnir bearings. I would not go cheap unless you keep them well lubricated.

Make sure they are shielded on both sides.

Barrie,

I did not have the looped rod on mine. It will now however.

Thank you for the info.

Thank you Barrie and Bruce. The info is very much appreciated.

Does anybody have a diagram on how the original choke cable was run for the 444?

Also does anybody have a chole cable with the black plastic knob available either for purchase or other means.

Thanks,

John

I am in need of a throttle arm for my Hus-ski 444. Tillotsen Carb HL186A. It is the brass bar that passes thru thru the carb and the butterfly for throttle. Mine broke while riding at the Big Bay Antique and vintage snowmobile show this past weekend. Will a standard brass bar or drill rod work?

Thanks Barrie

Hey Cuz. I buy my carb kits from V.E. Petersen Co. 28101 E. broadway, Walbridge, Ohio 43465. 419-838-5911, 800-537-6212. fax-419-838-7405. E-mail - info@vepeterson.com. They stock Tillotson carburator repair kits. The one I used is for HL-186A and the number is RK-114HL. Tillotson Carb is now in Ker...

1 1/8" dia. x seems 3/8"-1/2" thick is what was in there.

Thanks for the help.

I am in need of new brake pads for my Hus-ski 444. On a 20 mile ride this past weekend in Copper Harbor I had a malfunction and lost the pads from the assembly when it fell off. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have considered cutting an automotive brake pad.
