Well I went and looked at it. Not really sure he knows what he has. He tells me its newer than a '69, even his registration card shows it as a '72 but from checking vin #'s and doing some research I've figured out it is a '69 P-22S. Which puts it with a Sachs 368 motor. Looks like just over...

Been looking at getting into the vintage sled arena and have found this sled. Don't know much about it as I haven't seen it in person, but guy says it hasn't run in 3 years, turn freely, looks in decent shape and is priced right for me as he just wants it gone. What am I getting myself into if...

I just saw a Banner Ad for the Trailside Lodge on the Home Page when I logged on and that made me wonder what was happening with them. Anyone have an update?

Saw this article earlier. So with all the WI and MN guys on here I figured you'd all have something to say about this (maybe even get some comments from the IL guys too) and sometimes it's fun to throw something out there and stand back to see what happens so have at it...

There is another thread going about trailer weights and a few people have talked about stabilizing, or weight distribution hitches. Rather than taking that thread off the original topic I thought I'd start this one and see what experience people have with them. What type of vehicles did you...

Well I didn't plan on it, but I sold my 2 place Trition trailer that I just bought last summer. Too good of a deal to pass up and I ultimately want an inline so I decided to let it go. Here's the question: I only have 2 sleds, but may add a third. I pull with my Explorer Sport Trac and don't...

And you thought they were making Maple Syrup!

Rather than doing the top end on the ZL this summer, I'm thinking of dropping a new (used) engine in. Both are 2000's, would go from a 500 efi to a 600. It only has 1600 miles (mine has 6600) but it is a carb. I'd like to stick with the efi. How tough would it be, can I use the efi...

Well I got it all back together with new BDX parts and nothing left over. That's the good news. Unfortunately I didn't take notice, or photos of the shift assembly when I took it out of the gear case housing. There are two black slider blocks that go on the end of the forks. The holes in...

We planned a weekend snowmobile trip with 3 other families for Feb 27-March 1, 2004 to Hayward, WI. We all rode a lot on Saturday the 28th but the high temp was 48 degrees and there were only a couple people riding liquid cooled machines so we started evaluating our plans for Sunday the 29th...

Check out this ad from 1975. The copy essentially says: A man (probably a trapper) made and handed out these photos as a commercial for himself with women with a twinkle in his eye, to find a female companion. He is especially proud of his hand-knitted p...is-cover, and adds that it can be...

Here are some photos. This is the transfer gear with the teeth ground down. Here is the inside planetary, see the wear on the small gears. These two show what seems to be some metal out of place inside the planetary on the left, and the one on the right is another area that is clean...

OK,so I've got everything off I need, but the nut at 11:00 is on a bolt, not a stud and it's just spinning. I know there should be an easy solution but nothing I'm finding spells it out. One rag said it takes a torx but there is no place for that. Here are a couple photos after I pulled the...

Had a great time with 14 guys riding out of D's for 3 days. Too many photos to share so here's a YouTube link. Watch out cause it's 11 minutes long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJrbHpNlQks Can't wait to come back and do it all again!

A little more fun, then a shot of the group as we were ready to split up at the end of a good afternoon! Thanks again guys!

Lenny agreed to take me on a few forest roads, little did I know Byrn72 would decide to go off the forest roads! Fun time for me, hope I didn't slow them down too much. 1.This is no forest road, so off we go through the trees. To bad some tried too literally! 2.Byrn72 finding his way back...

Well some of you from the "did you get fat" thread and some of my other posts may remember I have been planning to attend the ride-in for some time. We fixed up my son's sled and this was the father/son weekend to try out his new long track and hook up with some new friends from the site. As...

Got a buddy that wants to come up with us in a couple weeks but his sled has been sitting for at least a couple years. Its a SRX 600 triple, I'm sure there is gas in it and it's been in a barn. He's asking us to go through it for him to get it ready. Probably only wants to invest enough to...

Need some new balaclavas. Figured I'd just order them from home before we head out on the next trip. I've always liked the thin nylon ones and normally I bring with about 4-6 for two of us cause you can't use the same one every day you ride. With all the talk about Kilm gear on the site I...

Realize this is a lodging question, but figured I'd put it here to increase my views. I've got a trip planned Feb 15-19 and now a lot of buddies are wanting to tag along. Right now we've got 5 rooms booked at the Super 8 in Houghton but would much rather find a large house to stay in. I've...
