Varnished Machine--

Dave,
Give me a call when you get ready to go at the tracks, axle etc...... There are a couple of tricks I have learned from my friends in Quebec on taking off the tracks and such. Got the machine back together last week end and so far it runs great. Good thing I did break the axle for it allowed me to take out the differential and a friend of mine re-shimmed the ring and pinion, changed a couple of bearings and one could see that the machine had just sat in a barn for along time for one side of the ring gear had some small pits in it. Ready to go to Valcourt next Friday and then on to St. Raymond on Sunday. Marc, hope to meet you there.

Oldsledz when you go to the festival, you better have lots of fresh batteries with you. We are all waiting to see your bomber & a lot of others there. When you leave there, it's just as well to keep going west to Cranberry Portage, MB. for their rally. ;D :D :) 8)
OT.
Averyman:
Oldsledz, There are likely more than a few of us that would like to hear about the tricks involved in removing and replacing tracks. Maybe you would be kind enough to start a new topic on this subject where we could share our experiences...

I second that!! I drove it a couple of blocks and the howl is loud enough to reduce the enjoyment. I figure it is the differential. How loud should it be? I could trun the radio WAY up, if it had one. The sprockets need recovering too and so on. At least it runs and moves now! By the time I get done the snow will be gone. If I keep it long enough, it will be at our vintage snowmobile show FEB 21!!!!!!!!!!!! BIGDAVE

Nice mirrors, Frank! I think Jeff wants some. They'll come in handy for the Bomber race.
He might want to know the part # etc. I saw some on ebay but they didn't have such a nice curve. Thanks, BIGDAVE
