They are fine, see picture below

Ohhhhh, OK, I was in a panic... Too Funny. Thanks for the update!

I don't think thats the problem, I have 7 in my inbox and 4 in my outbox...

ChickenRat - hopefully your still checking in here, I tried to reply to your PM, but it is stuck in my outbox. The sled did not have the airbox when I picked it up... Sorry about that.

Ties06 - Mark, same problem, I have been trying to reply to your PM, but it's stuck in the outbox...

Mark, sorry, meant to put NO Glove Box Lid...

Clutches are yours. Let's see, have to remember how to do that PM thing to swap addresses. Stand by...

Ok folks, I bought a junker sled, with hopes of finding some parts I could re-use (man I really need to log it into the entries, of course it will be logged as a parts sled). Anyway it's a 1978 Spitfire. The tunnel is gone - scrap, the track and seat brought good money on Evil-bay. The engine is in ...

Why is it you guys to the south get all the snow! 2 maybe 3 inches here in Racine, WI. It has picked up quite a bit in the last 30 minutes though, may be the big pond to the east influencing things a bit...

Are you running the Peerless transmission that came standard on those early 80's 100 series tractors, we had a 111 (now own a 180), I can't imagine either of those tractors going 35 mph. But I guess if you change gearing and have no RPM limit...

That is pretty funny. Looks like fun. What are the rules as far as setting up the tractors?

Any plans for a meeting in Horicon on the way? I believe this happened a year or two ago...

So how did it run???

I ride an Arctic Cat Crossfire 700 (same platform they are shipping today), I was shocked at how much higher it sat then the old style sleds (ZR/ZRT platforms). It is extremely comfortable and much easier to mount. As you mentioned, it has a 136 track, and is great in the rough stuff. I also know th...

I am guessing the dropping cylinder is the result of a bad CDI. A pretty easy fix, but costly ($100), considering the overall price of a used spitfire ($300-$700). If you go this route, make sure you get the right CDI, there are less expensive ones out there but you get what you pay for. I spend one...

Thanks, didn't realize that had been added. Awesome!

The 79 Spitfire is getting used quite a bit. The other night I had it up to 62 MPH, the girls haven't had it out in an open enough area yet to try in high speed passes... Anyway, it is a bit fussy when it comes time for it to idle (for driver changes) and then when it dies, it sometimes is hard to s...
