I recently spent some time in Nome at my friend Roger's. You may remember Roger from my house jacking project this fall, or you may have seen him lighting a fuse over on my family blog. Roger helped me out with the house so I came into Nome to help him out with a few mechanic jobs.
Roger has a Polaris 550 with a lot of hard miles on it. Almost all those miles have been across bumpy tundra pulling a big sled. When the machine was new Roger built this tow hitch and fuel can rack for the back. It is made from 1/4" steel plate and it has held up fine. Unfortunately the aluminum tunnel that it is bolted to is starting to crack in half.
I took everything apart on the back of the machine so I could straighten out the bent and broken tunnel. Once I had that back together I welded up some longer braces for the tow hitch. The hitch now has two pieces of flat bar that run all the way up to the foot wells.
