Does anyone know where to find snowchains for sp500 online? Also, is there a way to protect the radiator from filling with snow, is it a over-rated problem in deep snow?

 

www.northerntool.com or www.tirechain(s?).com - don't know about the 's'.

norhtern has good prices

 

I had a problem with snow packing the radiator while driving in 18" of fresh snow. I hay wired some cardboard to the front of the radiator. It worked really slick. There was good airflow to the radiator behind the cardboard and it held up very good for two days of riding.

I used this setup to go ice fishing on some remote lakes. I had rear chains (bought from dealer) and used low range at all times.

Although this setup worked, I probably wouldn't do it again. These machines weren't designed to drive in deep snow conditions. I guess that's why they build snowmobiles.

go for it:

Moonme,
As an old jeeper I can not understand why anyone would put chains on the rear and not on the front first. I have a SP 500 and I donot think that you can fit a set of chains on the front end without putting on spacers first to move the wheel away fron the shocks. But you can try, good luck
