Nice project you got going there! The 293 single is my favorite motor. Looks like a "One lunger" contender to me!!! I drive to Mora every day. I need to come over and see it.

Cool sled!, butchya got something else all covered up in the back ground. Looks like a 71 Wedge, what engine is in that one?
And I can see just the corner of what looks like a 400 Whip, sting, or TK. Your holding out on us, we need pics and specs on all that stuff lol.
Hang in there, great job on the ol'Scorps
Oh ya, one more thing, we need to get you off of that Pabst, and into some Budweiser!

Weaverat, the sled under the blacket is my prized 70 634 hirth stinger. I have a converted from 71 wedge to markII chassis next to it I repainted the hood this summer, no motor yet. Not sure what I will put in it 400 sachs?  the Alum chassis is my 75 whip, and you can kinda see the 72 stinger II 340ss in the one pic, my shop is a mess moving the winter toys out, putting summer toys away. Sold a bunch of scorpion stuff last week, just dont have room for it. Would like to find a 76 range whip for Grass drags. would go over it and rebuild it over the winter (IF I got time). I think the seat is off a artic cat jag, found a cover for it, will go with that seat I sit up higher way better on the knees. Oh yea you guys see the Pabst beer cases? Thats good shit, however I got no problem with budwiser, typically as long as I got a big fat juicy beer in my hand im happy  |

I buy carbides really cheap at Swap meets, then cut and weld to fit the Ol,Scorps. Otherwise those big thick racing carbides can be really expensive.
And of course keep the carbide back a little, so they do not get to grabby

When you put studs in, just be ware that the studs will destroy the underside of your tunnel. We would always rivet "tunnel protectors" which were slides from a newer sled. If you don't do that, you will end up with HUGE holes in your tunnel. Also it would be a good idea to put a couple of extra idler wheels in the back. With all those studs, it puts a tremendous amount of torque on the track causing it to drift side to side which then shreds your track. We would use black plastic ones they are much lighter and have bigger bearings. We would run one set of idlers in their normal position and the second set inside snug against the lugs, so the track was less likely to drift.

I put a pair of hyfax under my tunnel, I have seen what studs can do to a old sled tunnel. I was worried about using a original 70 stinger track, so I am using one off a 71 or 72 where the lugs run right next to the rear idler wheels, and keep the track running straight. I was worried about using a original 70 stinger track. Getting pretty close to done with this sled, will need to get it out on the pond and see how it is with the gearing, and power thrust I clutch. looks like i am right a 1/2 above the highest point of the track. |
