I am working on the pics pararailer I took pics of it with my new cell phone, and I'm having problems. I will get these up this weekend, been busy at work this week and have not had much time for the sleds. I will see if my sister and husband are going to the reunion they live in Crosby if not I may make a change of plains and go south to the snowbowl.

FYI, the snowbowl is not the same as the VFW ride. I wouldn't skip Crosby for the snowbowl.

The hirth. Not sure if you can see the home made engine plate its just two 6inch wide aluminum 6061 bar stock bolted, and pined perpendicular to each other with slots milled in for adjusting the engine. I still got to finish the wiring for lights. get the track adjusted, and then figure out the clutching I got a 94c on it right now orange spring, and 6 pucks, and it engages way to quick. So heavier spring? thought I could use a power thrust cluch but the tapper was different 25mm the hirth is 30mm. so the duster is all i had for now. wish I had a 102c maybe get one next year we will see how much i drive this sled or what it gets driven for. just need to work out the bugs and find a rubber plug for the chaincase. Oh yea and a little snow too would help got to get the carb swap finished in the whip. May work on that today.

I would love to have a mill and lathe in my new shop. for the last 18 years I've worked for a company that has a nice hardinge lathe and a bridgeport mill that I'm able to use whenever I want. I'm leaving it in 2 weeks and dont know if my new shop will let us use em. no more aluminum gas caps!  |

That's a big move 18 years is a long time. Good luck to you. I got lucky when I got these machines. Lathe was my dads. My brother found the mill from a shop that was closing and the motor was shot so I got a 110v on it now. Works good. I have had to make a few things for the old sleds. I'm just getting things set up know I just built that room in my pole barn. So I'm getting things organized right now. Hopefully soon if anyone needs something made let me know. Start out makeing things for my hobbies and see if it goes anywhere.
