Excellent addition to the story and further proof that the best parties are the ones you don't necessarily plan.

Harrumph on the greasy carbonator choice.

Green version next along with an "antlers" after that.

Thanks Brian. Always fun to read and see the pictures.

Would punch the "Like" button if one existed.

Thanks Brian. The after action report still works just fine without snow. Not only that, you had time for some unhurried wrenching on a John Deere snowmobile while rocking the IH headgear. I might have been known to do the exact same thing a time or two but that cannot be confirmed since there's not...

Beautiful.

If you're ever on Vintage Sleds, you might consider tendering that machine in the Find of the Year contest .

Been a long time since I saw one of those but I remember my reaction as if it was yesterday.

If crank seals aren't known to be fresh they're very likely in need of replacement. Don't dance with that devil. Staring fluid regimen is only as useful as pounding on a half empty fuel tank to determine the fuel level.

Those things were bolted to the deck and you pretty much had to work hard to roll one over Joey Chitwood style. Not sure why it would be necessary to widen the ski stance.

I've seen perhaps two in the wild. The rest are always fours and eights.

Might need a Colorado Kool-aide like what I see in the picture to go with my popcorn.

I have some handwritten notes from a racer back in the day. I can dig them out and peruse and see what's there. The notes are a couple notebook pages long and pretty much deal with all manner of tips and modifications that include engine work.

There's been talk. A donor sled is on site for a project but it's classified top secret.
