Fear the Deere

She's a beaut, Clark!

That she is, Eddie, that she is.

how about a green racing stripe going up one side of the black portain of the hood???

I suppose it seems a little strange now but more than one sled of the day sported a stripe, Chaparral SS models probably being the most recognizable.

It’s a little hard to visualize but it probably wouldn’t look out of place. I guess right now the plan is to use stock graphics, maybe a with some minor modifications. Think the yellow graphics will really provide a sharp contrast.

Just posting to prove I’m not a total slacker. Mostly but not total.

Finally got the transmission in the Cub Cadet so I could get that freeloader out of the shop and get some real work done. Made some progress on tearing down the new kid on the block. Removed the hood, exhaust, motor, suspension, and skis.


The sooner I get this torn down the sooner I can get back to building.

Everything ok at the skiroule work shop? I just added another barn find to my collection, picked up a 1971 Snopony 180 complete, hard to believe the seat is still soft, motor free and feels really good, skis a little thin on bottom but other than that in pretty good shape, funny thing I think the mustang logo in aluminum front plate is the same as my mustang logo on my car LOL

Well Brian, it’s been pretty quiet in there. I figured I’d better take advantage of the unusually mild weather and tackle a slew of outdoor homestead projects I didn’t think I’d get done this fall.

Really happy to hear that your vintage fleet continues to expand. Don’t know much about the SnoPony, think I’ve maybe seen one in person. I seem to recall it was pretty small, even a the time when sleds were typically much smaller than they are today.

Hopefully you can take it for a little spin this winter.

When time permits, been working on some things that aren't very interesting but it's all part of the process.

Rear suspension is done.



Track is done.

May not be real exciting, but great work as always Kelly!

Is that matte black on the suspension? Looks great!
