Hauling frieght to the cabin via Bombardier

(1/2) > >>

Swamp Dawg:
Cletus and I spent almost a week going to and from the cabin. First getting the trail put in with snow machines.  Then taking in the bombardier to pack the trail.  Once the trail was in good enough shape, we hauled in 2 loads of building supplies and kitchen cupboards that Cam Mclean made for us.  Cletus will be trying to get a steel dock up before spring hits as well.

You may notice that the blue trailer is in fact a sleigh as well.  Cletus built it with multipurpose in mind. Pull it behind your truck then throw the ski's on and pull it behind your bombardier.  Perfect for hauling ice shacks or something like that.

Here are some pictures of us in action.

the old trucker:

  Swamp Dawg how is the ford engine working in the old bomber ?? Are you having any overheating problems with it.
  I hope you & cletus are going to cover up that green steel post with a bit of wood. Four pieces of log siding should make it look like a log. Nice looking cabin!!!

Swamp Dawg:
The green teleposts are the least of our worries.  Besides it matches the roof.

The 300 6cyl did a mighty fine job getting us there and back.  Our temp gauge was on the fritz so most of the time we couldn't tell what it was reading.  But we did overheat a bit on some parts of our trail.  Still unsure why, it was hot out though.  Hot weather, sticky deep snow, and pulling a sleigh up hills must have something to do with it. 

the old trucker:

  Think it would have overheated if the fan was on continuously ? Any idea why the gauge didn't work ?? I'm not trying to give you the third degree or anything, just trying to pinpoint the problem.

Swamp Dawg:
Well we are trying to figure it out.  Its a brand new SW gauge and it shows temp, then shuts off then springs back up again.  We assume a bad sending unit ground or sender.
