Off topic - but what's the box you have on the back?

Thanks for writing and sharing. You wrote this - it's something I have thought about quite a bit this winter: We tend to remember tidbits of information by events that are going on in our lives. I wonder if people will remember the winter of 23-24 as the winter John Dee left this earth and it...

We drove by Mountain Meadows a couple times while out there. Thought about trying that out sometime. Hoping to get back to Ontario next season. Old Mother nature obviously wasn't cooperating this year. They had some spots with snow at times but not enough to be worth the trip for me at least.

Funny you ask since I ended up getting the wrong ones, but didn't know it until we were up on the hill and installing them in the trailer. We kind of decided to go west at the last minute, and a bud I ride with has a similar sled and called a shop that did a reflash for him before to ask about...

Be curious what happens to some of the northwoods towns over the next 5 - 10 years. I know many have gone busier with more year-round residents following the covid changes. I'd guess long term many of these people would not want to stay up there year-round but I could be wrong.

Appreciate it. I was thinking just changing springs (and weights and pins if it needs it), but if it needs more than that, then I'd probably let someone else handle it. I did end up with some adjustable weights that we used at the snowies. The range of those weights covers the flatland weight so...

That's too bad you just chucked it! The only trip I went on this year was to the snowies, and I did put different weights in it for that. The pins came out easily enough. Are the roller bushings the part in the spider that the weight pins go into? I won't know much until I can get at my sled...

I'll start looking into that. I saw my current team clutch is now replaced by the adapt clutch, and the price is fairly reasonable. If I see any issues I may look into that. Of course the pins and weights would be extra either way.

Thanks for the picture. I haven't taken the seal off a bearing before. I would have thought it wouldn't go back in easily but apparently it does. I changed the skid bearings not too long ago and kept the one that were smooth. I could practice on one of those. I'm thinking I'll keep this sled...

Thanks. I have the bearing to go on the driveshaft. Been meaning to do that for a couple years. Actually bought the bearing and the BOP repair kit suggested on ty4stroke, depending on what the shaft looks like. I haven't heard of many failings on the jackshaft but I'll look at adding grease to...

Was going to pull the clutches on my 18 cat 600. Has 8K on it. Figured I'd clean them and at least change the springs. I haven't done any maintenance on them in the past. My last sled was an 06 Poo 600, and I dropped the clutches at Goodwin at a similar mileage and had them go through them, and...

First time we rode up there was the year before halfway haven reopened so we drove up to Wawa. Never got close to 0 (Fahrenheit). I remember starting my 600 Fusion up and the temp gauge for the engine showed -48 or something like that. Took a minute to get to operating temps. Have been hooked...

I'll take a look. Cheapest klim boots are now $300....I think every bit of gear I have has been bought at significant discount

Hopefully they talk him in to grooming in Sudbury. I'm sure they could use his expertise there, although I know his family responsibilities take up his time these days.

They did, and the original team stayed on and cat put some money into it and it grew quite a bit, but everyone got canned by textron and they outsourced it to powertex. I knew a couple people in it (one came from klim and another from polaris) and other than the dumb name I've liked all the gear...

Motorfist. The one with the higher amount of insulation. I have a pair of motorfist boots, but the lower insulated ones. Kind of like klim adrenaline/arctic, so I'd have one with more and one with less insulation. I'm going to get them back out and walk around a bit but I'll probably pass. I got...

https://snowgoer.com/news/polaris-announces-long-list-of-updates-and-focus-on-quality/32282/ All the powertrain updates make me wonder what issues they've been having. And I tend to like Polaris so not hating on them.

Random question - but we don't have a whole lot to talk about these days in seems... Wondering how you much bigger you usually go with snow boots compared to your regular shoes. Most of my shoes are size 12, and I normally buy boots or hiking shoes in 13s for thicker socks and also because I...

Property rights are one of the foundations to a free society. Initially it was "life liberty and property" instead of "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Squatters rights goes directly against that, which is why certain groups encourage it.

That's great. I mentioned in another thread but I think I'm getting a 900 from a relative. It will be mainly for the kids with the eco mode but I could see myself taking it on a saddlebag trip on Ontario or Quebec too to keep the gas costs down. Also, my cheapest sled to own was the one I...
