'79 Spitfire 340

I have the opportunity to buy a '79 spitfire 340. I'm planning on parting it out to use a few parts myself, but it's really not worth the $150 for the few parts that I need. Anyone interested in parts for this sled?? Actually, if someone was interested in the whole sled to restore I would step out o...

Re: still looking for john deere 400s skis

I wasn't able to find anyone around the sled this week. I'll keep trying. Maybe I'll just hook my truck to one and drag it home :lol22:

Re: painting advise

I'm gonna try the code from Don, first. It sounds like he's got it right on. If that doesn't work, I'll try to have it scanned locally. I scraped a decal from the tunnel and the paint came off with it due to the fact that there was no primer. So the back of the decal is fresh paint that was face dow...

Re: painting advise

Thanx Brian,
Don has already been gracious enough to send the code to me....but thanks. I guess what I was asking is, can I get the paint with the SW code from another paint guy? The nearest SW is 76mi from my location. Thanks for any info

chrome/stainless resto

I will need to resto the rear grab bars on my '75 300. They have some minor surface rust and tarnishing. I'm not sure if they are chrome or stainless.....Any ideas on bringing them back?? Thanks

Re: still looking for john deere 400s skis

I drive past 2 400's everyday that don't seem to be wanted. I'll stop by today to see if I can get a hold of the skis you need. One is definitely a 73 or74. I'll let you know.

Re: Wanted: '75 Parts.

I haven't started it yet!!!!!! It has been in my extended family since it was new, but I never went near it until now. For some reason it all-of-a-sudden looked good to me, and deserved to be brought back. Otherwise it hasn't run in 2 yrs and was destined to rot on the edge of a hay field. So, we'll...

Re: Decal Resto

I guess I didn't look around enough. All things considered, $27 isn't a bad deal.

Re: '75 speedo and tach

It's in great shape other than a little fading. I'm gonna leave it "as-is".
