Been there, built one. It will work awesome. Just make sure you use both clutches and set it up just like it is on the sled. It's nut easy but it will work. I put a polaris 600 on a golf cart with the sled clutches and it did about 70. So go for it and have fun!!

Not really, it's kind of a learn as you go kinda thing. It involves some interesting fabrication. Just pull everything out of the sled and look at where evrything is going to have to fit. Also before you remove the clutches measure the distance center to center how they are sitting now. If you keep that the same you can run the same belt. Have Fun!!
Answer I wouldn't suggest that. You need to have snow in order to lube the slides or the track wont go it will just burn up the slides. As far as putting wheels on I'm sure it could be done some what easily You would have to fabricate your own spindles and such, but I'm sure you could do it.
