As the Summer Turns
Sent this 440 down to Snoluver1 a couple of weeks back to take advantage of his mechanical expertise. It turned out to be a real Frankenstein – mismatched parts, mystery parts, wrong parts, you name it. Thought he was going to accuse me of sending one of my 800s. The amazing thing is that it actually ran pretty well.
So, I’m sending off the “backup” 440 tomorrow in hopes that between the two he can put together something that can be made to run like new. This one looks to be intact but he will be the judge of that.
After this week, I hoping I can really start to buckle down on the project. Time marches on...

I always wondered how you were able to do the work for a little less than anyone else. Guess the secret is out.
A few more TXL pics.
Here are a few more pics of my TXL going together. Skid is done and in. Just cleaned and ready to rivet belly pan,(almost perfect with exception of extra exhaust hole, no fade and still very flexible.). Most of the dirty work is done so it's time to start bolting on the two boxes of powder coated parts. I will keep you posted.

Ok you guy's have motivated me I'm gonna get the TX340 on the lift tonite let the fun begin!!

Well its on the lift and the 1st layer of grime is off it, mechanically its in good shape steering is tight, none of the cables are froze up throttle and brake works, the track spins by turning the secondary and the engine rolls over, the track is in good shape. Body wise I'm gonna need a belly pan replacement and some hood body work, and new front bumper. It only has 1060 miles showing on the ticker if it works but I think they hit everything they could judging by the hood and the belly pan.

I heard the Vintage ride is pretty nice also. Wouldn't mind doing that run one time but we always attend the one here in town (Waconia's). http://www.teshio.com/vsn/calendar/posters/24_Jan_14_Waconia_2014.jpg

Bradzoo,
I like those sled pictures on your garage door! Are those all Polaris'? Nice looking sleds I'm sure.

No they're not all Polaris, those ahhh sleds are from a Double Extreme calendar all the big 4 represented , I think the closest you can get now is the Winter Heat calendar now

The only way I could do that is to take about 10 days off hit that ride, then head to the Yoop for the Ride In, sounds good in theory but prolly won't happen

Well I made a little progress this weekend, it runs on spray has 110lbs compression in 1 cylinder and 115lbs in the other, got the skid removed found out I need 3 cleats, also need 2 skies and shocks, and the tank I thought was gonna be good has a small crack in the upper left corner so I'm still in the hunt for one of those, time to start ordering parts.
