The engine is lubricated by oil mixedwith the fuel. Use John Deere Snow-mobile Oil or a suitable BIA equivalent.Use Regular or Premium gasoline, 90octane or better on early models andRegular or Non-Leaded gasoline, 88 oc-tane or better on later models. Recom-mended fuel:oil ratio is 20:1 for units1974 or earlier, and 50:1 for later modelswithout oil injection.

For models with oil injection, gasolineand oil should be mixed to a 50:1 ratiobefore installing fuel in tank whenweather temperature is - 40 degrees For below. Oil injection system may not

below.The pressed steel chaincase should

contain SAE 30 engine oil to a level V4-V2inch below inspection plug hole afterremoving lower rubber plug as shown inFig. 1.

Models with right-hand mounted die-cast chaincase should be filled to level oflower plug (L - Fig. 2) with SAE 90 gearoil. Add oil if needed through upper fillplug (F). Old oil should be removed usinga suction gun at lower plug hole every200 hours, 2 years or 1000 miles andnew oil put in to bring fluid to correctlevel.

Except for using light oil on hinges orpivots whenever necessary to preventbinding, all other parts are self lubri-cating and do not require periodic atten-tion.

STEERING AND SKIS. Steeringskis should be parallel to each other andwith vehicle frame when handlebar is innormal straight driving position.

On models with two tie rods, tie rodsare adjusted by turning center sectionafter loosening locknuts. For earlymodels, nominal length of each tie rod is11.87 inches and 13.25 inches on latermodels. Both tie rods should be adjustedalike.

Adjust steering system as follows forearly models with a single tie rod(T-Fig. 3) and drag link (D). Exhaustsilencer must be removed on mostmodels for access to tie rod ends.Loosen locknuts and turn center tube ortie rod until distances (A and B) meas-ured at ski wear bar nuts are equal. Ad-just drag link (D) until handlebars arestraight when skis point straight ahead.Extended length adjuster (M) must notexceed two inches (50 mm). Late models(Fig. 3A) are adjusted same as earlymodels with exception of drag link (D).Adjust drag link by loosening jam nuts

Extended length of tie rod ends(X-Fig. 3) on both early and late modelsmust not exceed 1-5/16 inches (33 mm).

DRIVE CHAIN. Early models used a35-2 roller drive chain while all latemodels have silent type chain. Allmodels are equipped with spring-loadednylon tighteners and no adjustment isprovided. If excessive backlash is noted,remove inspection plug or side cover anciexamine chain, sprockets and tightenersfor wear or other damage.

BRAKE (Band Type). The band typebrake should fully apply when free endof hand lever is approximately one inchfrom handlebar grip. To adjust thebrake refer to Fig. 4 and repositionbrake cable housing anchor by turningjam nuts. If end of threads is reachedbefore proper adjustment is attained,withdraw brake band anchor pin andreposition in rear hole of attaching boss.

Brake light switch (Fig. 5) is normallyclosed but is held open by brake linkagewhen brake is released. With brake inreleased position, loosen front jam nutand tighten rear nut until brake lightcomes on, then reverse the procedureuntil light just goes out. Recheck to besure brake light comes on when ac-tuating lever is depressed but stays off

with lever released. Light switch mayneed to be repositioned when brake link-age is adjusted.

(Disc Type). On early models withdisc type brake, refer to Fig. 6. Adjustcable housing anchor nuts (1) ifnecessary, until push pins center invalleys of actuating arm with brake re-leased; then tighten actuating stud nut(2) until brake fully applies with one inch(25 mm) clearance remaining betweenend of brake hand lever and handlebargrip.

For later models refer to Fig. 6A.Loosen cable locknut (top arrow) and ad-just actuating lever (bottom arrow)parallel with track tunnel, then tightencable locknut. Pull brake lever back andmeasure distance between lever andhandlebar, distance should be 1-1V2 inch-es. If adjustment is needed loosen jamnut (1) and turn adjusting bolt (2) untilcorrect adjustment is reached, thenretighten jam nut.

Check to be sure brake light comes onwhen brakes are applied and goes out

DRIVE BELT ALIGNMENT (EarlyModels). With drive belt removed andengine not running, place a straightedgealong engine side of drive sheave asshown in Fig. 7; then measure clearance(A) between straightedge and nearestrim of driven sheave. Distance should beequal at front and rear and measure9/32-inch on Model 400 or V4-inch onModel 500. No adjustment of shaftcenter distance is provided.

(Late Models). On all models withcross shaft except Liquifire refer to Fig.8. Engine can be moved forward or rear-ward to adjust shaft centers, refer toCONDENSED SERVICE DATA forshaft center distance. Centerline adjust-ment is provided by adding or removingwashers (W-Fig. 8) which are availablein thicknesses of 0.018 and 0.060 inch(0.5 and 1.5 mm). The recommendedmethod of adjusting center distance andoffset is by use of the appropriate JohnDeere Special Tool as shown at (T); pro-ceed as follows:

Remove driven sheave, key and spacerwashers (W) from cross shaft. Slip hubof tool over cross shaft and drop freeend over drive sheave fixed face asshown. Loosen engine mounting boltsand slide engine forward or rearward asrequired until welded lugs of tool en-compass drive sheave rim. Slide tool in-ward until it contacts base of flange,then measure the clearance between in-ner end of tool hub and cross shaft bear-ing to determine required thickness of

models offset should be between1.26-1.30 inches, later models 1.44-1.48inches. If offset is not within specifica-tion, add or remove shims (4) from be-tween driven sheave and secondaryshaft. For early models, shims are avail-able in 0.018 or 0.060-inch thickness and0.018, 0.031 or 0.049-inch thickness onlater models. Affer adjustment reinstalldriven sheave and check pulley align-ment, then install drive belt.

TRACK TENSION (Bogie WheelModels). With machine unloaded, ap-proximately half of rear bearing flangescrew (S-Fig. 9) should appear belowedge of adjustment bracket as shown ininset. Adjust by loosening the two clampscrews (C) and turning adjusting screw(A) on each side of machine an equalamount.

NOTE: Whenever track tension hasbeen adjusted, alignment MUST bechecked as outlined in TRACK SERVICESection of this manual.

(Slide Suspension Models). On 1976and 1977 models with slide suspension,track may be of one-piece constructionwith full length grouser bars molded in;or three piece belt design with 2/3-lengthriveted grouser bars.

On all models, track is adjusted by atension bolt on each side of rear idler ax-le as shown by arrow. Fig. 10. Raise rearof machine until track is clear. On earlymodels with riveted track, inside oftrack belt must not clear slide by morethan V4-inch (6 mm), measured beneathlower shock absorber mount as shown inFig. 11. On models with molded track,top of drive lug should not clear slide railby more than /g-inch (10 mm), measuredbeneath lower shock mount as shown inFig. 12. On 1978 models, inside of trackmust not clear slide by more than V4-inch(6 mm) as shown in Fig. 13. On all1979-1982 models except Liquifire,track to slide clearance is V4-inch (6 mm)

measured below lower shock mount. ForLiquifire models, track to slide clearanceis V2-inch (12 mm) measured below lowershock mount. A track that is either tooloose or too tight will affect perform-ance.

All slide suspension models have ameans of independently adjusting springrate. Increasing or decreasing springstrength at rear compensates for aheavier or lighter load. Increasingspring strength at front of track will de-crease ski effectiveness but permitoperation in deep or fluffy snow. De-creasing front spring strength willtransfer more weight to skis for bettersteering control on packed snow or ice.Refer to Figs. 14 through 18 for adjust-ment points.
