I'm looking for an 04 firecat tool kit.My local dealer cant find one. I've looked threw magazines,parts books,ebay,and the web. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

You would be better off putting your own tool kit together. The factory kits are knuckle busters at best.

It's a FireCat.........you won't need any tools!!

i cant believe that even the dealer cant get you one thats interesting...

Thats right,not even the dealer can get one. I tried browns leisure world and its not listed on any of the parts prints.I finally found one for a zr on ebay. Thats as close as I got.

Put your own kit together. The kits contain junk tools, at best. When you're stranded in -5 degree weather, you don't want to rely on some wrench or screwdriver made in China. You'll turn your phillips head into an awl on the very first screw... and that's bad, in case you didn't know.

The most important tool you'll need from that kit is the wrench that turns the big-a$$ nut on the rear axle (to adjust your track tension). It's huge!!

Serious??? All three of my Cats have 9/16" bolt/jam nuts back there.

You'll need those, also, but in order to adjust the track tension you must loosen the axle nut.........it's about 1-3/8" (not exactly sure, but it's in that range!). I carry a 1-1/4 in my tool box & it wasn't big enough!
