    I would be completely shocked if Nora would be willing to sell the JohnDee site, personally I highly doubt it and do not blame her as it was his site, his style and her memory of him and it. I hope its here to stay just as it is, and hope whatever hiccups or whatever it may be gets resolved and...

    Chaparral vs John Deere: A Build-Off Challenge

    Kelly, I was looking on another enthusiast site and some had mentioned ECM (Eastern Michigan Cycle) for used and vintage parts, didn't know if you were aware of it, I had never heard of it. Sounds like quite the place, just wanted to give you a heads up. :cool:

    Darren, that may just be a decorative cap, some were just chrome, some had a rubber seal in top of them you would have to remove to access grease zerk, I would be very surprised now a days if it didn't have either a bearing buddy under the cap or a grease zerk in the end of axle. That 27'...

    Recommendations for Northwoods snowmobile getaway

    stayed at boondock when it was called Omers, also stayed at Parkview many a times when it was first built, it is a nice area, Boondockers really did a nice job revamping the place and has good food and right up road from Krupps and Parkview so you have your choices of eats and a place to gas...

    Honestly.... I think things were much simpler back then, didn't have to worry about all the bs we have to deal with these days.

    Chaparral vs John Deere: A Build-Off Challenge

    I like them both, they both really stand out in the snow that's for sure but if I had to choose one it would be the Chap, not based on looks but how advanced they were for their time in chassis and engine design. Besides getting to follow the master at his craft I really enjoy the historical...

    Thank you both for your input on these and will likely be the ones I go with, no wheelies or jumps for this guy LOL. It just makes a lot of sense to me to locate them there and I am not very fond of attaching anything to the rails. Thank you again!!

    Vansville and Cliff View bars

    old school homey feeling was part of the draw of Cliff View back in the day, liked the old school feel of the place and the old and historical decor. sometimes fancy dancy can ruin a place one was used to for years. Same goes for Vansville the rustic feel was part of the draw there. Hate it when...

    Chaparral vs John Deere: A Build-Off Challenge

    curious... how were you able to find that shock? painstaking research on shock lengths? It also amazes me how quickly you are able to locate parts you need on these resto projects or how quickly you are able to adapt things and make them work whether its aesthetics or mechanical components.
