I didn't want to hijack Skiroule's thread as he mentioned the possibility of towing an Ice Shanty or load of wood with a wide track. This spurred a memory and photo of mine from years ago when our neighbors had a 12/3 Ski Doo Olympic. The picture shows them about to tow a load of wood with that Little Doo. As I focus on the photo, it brings both a smile and a bit of sadness. The young boy was a best friend as we were growing up and later died of cancer as an adult. That's his mom with the chainsaw. Back when women and chainsaws were a thing! And I have to smile at the can of Grain Belt perched on the seat. Nothing like cracking open a cold one and firing up the McCulloch to make some firewood!

You might notice the bolt-on makeshift bumper after the neighbor kid (Me) hit a small tree and poked a hole in their hood. I guess that Farmall Red and Ski Doo Yellow combination never became popular. A closer look reveals the family dog in the background. Either that or a coyote is watching the activity. Time Marches On :)
