Anyone else getting parts, looking at their new sled or prepping their machines yet?

[Jerr2Star]

It's the exact same spot as my last 98 crank that went. Maybe try to find a 700 or 800 to drop in next season but for now I put it back together and parked it for the summer.

Glue it back on there

Time to start the annual teardown and figure out what shit we tore up in the whole 3 days of riding we did.

Think I have 2 engine rebuilds and 1 engine build to do this summer, and at least 1 whole sled rebuild and 1 sled build.

may as well upgrade the hyfax to match your skis... maybe even pick up 1-2mph.

. I haven’t spent that much money on hyfax in 10 years. I have replaced maybe 3 sets. The way this season has been I am sure my stock ones are probably shot. I haven’t really check them out though. Too much dirt on them. It will also give a reason to put white ones on it. They are more slippery than the black stock ones because the white plastic reflects heat.

@racinfarmer finally went to Cooks tomorrow is the last day. I scored this for $80 I’m fixin to retire on it.

wife: what are all these boxes on the garage floor?

me, up in the attic organizing and taking inventory of spare SnoPro parts: I've been saving those boxes up here for you for Holiday Decorations. (lie) 

wife: I bought six new plastic totes for decorations on clearance.

me: okay, I'll just recycle them when I'm done up here.

Did you get your paddle boat out?

I saw a few videos from the hill climb stuff, of whatever it is, at Giant's Ridge this weekend.

I'm not sure if it was the riders I saw the videos of or what, but I swear I could win that bitch on a Trailcat 4000.

Yes zr6000 is there enforcing the limit. If you go over 55 he throws gravel and beer cans at you

I'll roost empties back at him on whatever corner he is flagging.

I dug a set of old Sno Pro bars out this morning to make sure I can do that.

If it is a Procross, reverse acts as tool-less snowflap removal.

The catalyst is worse than the procross for flap removal. I couldn’t even get mine out of the truck without screwing up the flap lol

Couldn't resist it for $50.

Mostly got it to replace the 1998 600 i have with a crank that is ready to snap in the same place as my last 600, may look for a new 700 crank to drop in the motor that is in the sled (pto snout snapped off in primary) but plan to use the 700 motor on my 2001 project sled

[Not greg b]

It only took me 2 months but I finally power washed this filthy animal and showered it with silicon.
