Jerry 976 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Who remembers installing Steel Wear Rods on their steel skis?? Then Wear Rods that had a hardened surface on them, someone welded a bead on the wear rod?? Then the game changer....Carbides on the Skags 90* & then 60* carbides?? Gas caps that had a dip stick on the cap? Mark the dip stick so you could guess how many gallons of gas and how much oil to mix........ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still working like a champ after 40 years!!! My parents still have the TV guide holder I made in wood shop. Outlasted TV guides. I bet the skateboard pillow I sewed up in home skills is there too. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even had an auto body/ custom painting class at our school . It was dropped just before I got up there. My older brother took it. I remember him taking in our ‘72 Polaris atx 335 hood, it was supposed to be a custom flame job but looked more like a bunch of bent up pitch forks. Wish I had a picture. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member XCR INDY Posted February 23, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted February 23, 2023 Is it a bad sign when pics from a vintage sled show become vintage themselves. My son and I on my ‘76 at the Whiteout vintage sled show in Weedsport NY almost 20 years ago now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made my own, used channel iron with a plate on the bottom not only widened them but added ski pressure, broke the spindle many times but we had a welder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
