Hope everyone is doing well and avoiding the crowds on Black Friday....... I got a little sled time in. I had some tight bearings on my jackshaft, so I pulled it as well as the chaincase to clean things out a little better. I also need to get the caliper out so I can rebuild it. When these...

Hey you said the next project, and your story has 5 sleds for $1500 bucks! Now I enjoy bringing these back from the cliff but 5 sleds would take me years to get them all done.... but in your defense I recall reading one time you start with three of the same sled and use the best parts to build...

Kelly the Sled is looking good, you're back in the office, a fire in the woodstove and the radio's playing....... life is good! hope you find the parts you're looking for and we will patiently wait for the new updates! Oh and snow... we are all waiting for snow too!! Have a great Holiday, Kirk

Hi Kelly, glad you like the updates and really appreciate your updates also. It sure is nice seeing you back in the shop, making a little progress on "the Namesake ". You are correct on the seat cover, Dr Mario sure does have nice stuff, and lots of NOS parts too.....seat cover cost as much as...

Well today It's been cold so I kept the project indoors.... I pulled the primary clutch apart, and noticed that the moveable sheave is cracked. I tried to remove the spider but didn't have any luck. I decided to use the old spring and put some thunder shift weights in a newer open primary . Also...

Here's a few more

So today I finally got the centurion in the trailer, after 7 months under a tarp on my other trailer. Started to take it apart to see what I am dealing with. I couldn't get spark so I figured some testing might be in order. This sled has 3 coils and none seem to be firing. Had to pull carbs to...

I'm headed up tomorrow if there's that much snow!

I have done them in sled on a Polaris 800 liberty, not a fun project in the sled. If there's ever a Next time I am going to pull the motor

Nothing like "R" rated weather reports to start the week! Thanks guys I got a chuckle

So for those using an iPhone to transfer pictures, I use an app called " Image Size" and reduce the size on there.... all mine are now 300x300 as thats how I set it up. When I try to send a picture original size it's too large. First is 300x300, second one is 400x400... you have to attach...

Well today was a good day, I got the skid installed in my TXL, and I placed the seat on it to give me some motivation! I can see the progress is slowly getting better, now that the weather has changed...... hopefully you can enjoy the newest updates....... have a great weekend

New I need to get it finished and hopefully installed this weekend

So Monday I was able to get the repaired rails back from the welder. I had mostly finished painting the suspension parts so today I bought new fasteners from the local Fastenal store and started the assembly process.

I am still waiting for my welder to repair the slide rails, I have repacked or replaced the idler wheel bearings and I had to replace one bearing sleeve. The original sleeves, or inserts were made of aluminum...... the new ones are plastic. I also had to have one shaft replaced as it was bent. I...

Well the ski's are done, and started to work on the seat. I had cut a couple boards a few months ago and finally started to work on one. I sealed the wood, as I didn't use treated lumber. I went through a couple tries pulling the material tighter each time. Probably have to do it once more but...

Got some ski skins for the TXL, so after I sandblasted them and painted them midnight blue, it was time to install them. I used a set of mid 90's Indy wear rods which required me to drill the skis for the correct bolt pattern. I think they turned out good considering the skis were repaired do to...
