All back together and working great. The kit fixed all the weak points. I would advise all of you who have similar machines to contact RI and upgrade your frame before you have a problem. It has been a long road to get mine right and It would have been easier and cheaper to have added these frame supports before it broke the first time.

I have a 85'max 1V and in January with my metal cleated tracks on, the right rear outer bearing had a catostrophic failure while sliding sideways across my pond. Repaired it and was OK.
In March the front left outer bearing collar broke clean through. I since have removed my winter tracks, replaced the bearings , and I am now back running on 6 wheels. Maybe the older Metal cleated tracks put too much stress on the single bearing machines?
