When you think about it, our trailers are out there in the worst of conditions. Salt, sand, road crud, slush & cold. It's a wonder they last as long as they do. A little TLC can mean the difference.

I might have come across too harsh for those that make a living fitting square pegs in round holes. Society would look drastically different without the apptitude of our engineers. For us weekend mechanics, we may question as to why you put the little thing under the big thing and why the left...

Unfortunately, most engineering doesn't give two :poop::poop: about the after market maintenance. I've always changed my own oil in all things except for my current pickup. Whereby the Oil Filter is behind the front left wheel and behind a flexible curtain attached with push pins. But before you...

It's time again for some thought into the upcoming snowmobile season. We all want our machines and trailers to be ready when we are so let's share some thoughts and suggestions. I'll be riding my 4 Stroke Blizzard again this year and there's very little start-up maintenance required. Two or...

We're all familiar with the Budweiser Clydsdales and to a lesser extent, the Dalmation on each wagon. The present day purpose of the Budweiser Dalmatian is to serve as a companion and mascot for the Budweiser Clydesdales, a tradition that began in 1950. Originally, Dalmatians ran alongside...

Looks like Mezz wins the six pack of Hamms. You know, if a guy kept his garage door closed, these things wouldn't keep following him home!

You mean like Big Foot and the Fake Moon Landings? It’s possible.

I've heard of people purging the Cooling System with air...

Never did, never heard of it before.

I have a pair of Mods of recent years, so I'm good. Our helmets for the Spyder are another story. The liners are delaminating so we'll replace those in the spring. A lot of people simply upgrade for the new features.

Most manufacturers recommend replacing your helmet every 5 years. Assuming yours has never been needed to save your noggin in an accident, what say you? Johnny Skeptical says.... Just a few scratches here and there. It finally fits just perfect. They're just trying to sell more helmets.

You were probably gonna ask anyways.... https://www.grainbelt.com/our-story/

Yeah, they must've had a heck of nice camera for that kind of definition back then. Oh, and someone asked me how I managed to hit a tree with that Olympic. Well, I was about the same age as the boy in the picture and as I recall the Ski Doo's back then liked to go straight..;..turning was open...
