'98 Arctic Cat ZL Hitch Needed-Couple ?'s - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I am loking for a hitch for my '98 ZL, and found a few, but have a couple ?'s.

I have found 3 companies that "made" them, Kimpex, Nachman (which I THINK is the same as Kimpex), and S.P.I. All 3 companies use the same part #, so does anyone know if they are all the same co. like I am led to believe?

It is part #12-101-03. The S.P.I. model states it replaces #0636-022. I know my ZL isn't "listed" as a compatible sled, BUT the weak bumper insert is the same part # as sleds that are listed that this hitch fits!

I will be pulling an Otter Pro medium cargo sled to haul clothes/food/etc. to the cabin across the lake (can't drive to it- by sled or boat only!) maybe ABOUT 100lbs total (sled is 32lbs alone).

Just want to make sure I don't but to cheap of a hitch!

TY!
Chris

Same company, it's basicly a hinge? Look for a ZR might have that listed?

TY KC! I thought so.

The sleds listed are the previous gen to my ZL. Pretty much though '97, but I am pretty sure it will work.

TY again!
