I won't get around to starting on the project until closer to the end of the month, since we *just* got moved into our larger facility last week, we're literally working out of boxes everyday and we've been swamped trying to get caught up on our customer orders. :eek: Needless to say, the shop is a ...

The primary clutch seems to work fine, but if you'd like to freshen it up anyway, I can send it to you. (pm me your address) I have a NOS secondary clutch that Amber gave me that we can use, so we're already covered on that end.

As I stated before, I am in for anything but Make A Wish. Obviously the HOF is a priority...as would anything for Cancer. I lost my Mother when I was 5 years old (she was only 38) to Cancer & my Father passed of Cancer at 76 as well. I am willing to furnish NOS parts...simply keep me informed. ...

Jon, can we paint it pink and instead of ski skins put on some Thorlo's?? Seriously, I'm game for anything but Cancer and/or HOF are high on my list. DA Ohhh boy, I can see DA is going to be a handfull already and I'm not sure I can handle you AND Bob in the same place at the same time... :pray: Wa...

A thought, build it, have Brian Nelson ride it on the Vintage Challange, get milage sponsors for the trip, then raffle or auction the sled and split the money HOF and breast cancer donations. The JD sled ladies could held getting milage sponsors and make it a real win/win for all! JRC Whatever you ...

Too far away as well, but I do have some fire series parts so I will answer the call if there is something I see that you guys need! Maybe if this becomes something we decide to do each year we can change the location of the build, then everyone would have a chance to help in person and drink a bee...

I am too far away to assist in the build but when you figure out what it needs i may be able to come up with some hard to find parts. I have an 80 sporty thats too far gone to fix but mostly complete. One cylinder is bad, the crank is rusted tight, the track is shot, bumpers smashed, etc. I usually...

PJ, I will donate time in the shop. Cameron might also if his schedule allows. We could probably put Troy, or anybody else for that matter, up at the Turtle Town Inn if needed. Bob ok Bob, but you have to promise to be on your best behavior around here, otherwise, we'll have to break out the Amber ...

PJ, I'm at the very bottom of Indiana. I haven't graduated up to the fire series yet so I can't help with parts. However if you can co-ordinate some work days, I would be willing to make the trip north for a weekend or two to help do some wrenching or what ever needs done to help with the project. ...

Like some of the others im to far away to help in the work part but would like to donate some money. How about the price for a decal set? Send me addres so I can send money or the decal set to you. Shannon PM jdmatt for the fund stuff and he'll take care of you. Thanks a million for helping! :clap:...

Here's the address for the shop on where to send parts, etc.~ Charity JD Sled c/o Phil "PJ" Rickard 4411 Engle Ridge Drive Fort Wayne, IN. 46804 USA I'll keep updating the "parts to get" and the "parts already got" lists for everyone to keep track of and a list of folks...

Here are a few pictures of the charity sled I was talking about. It's a 1980 JD Sportfire 440 w/ approx. 3400 miles and in pretty good overall condition, with nothing broken, bent or damaged in any way. I bought it complete a while ago, but sold the good engine, exhaust y-pipe and hood to other JD o...

I'll get the sled pulled out of storage sometime today to take the initial pictures for ya'll.

Matt, Anything you think would work for the charity give-a-way is good for me, if it's good for the other guy's too. If it will work for you, once the sled is completed, we'll turn it over to you so you can organize how the sled will be donated. Okey-Dokey? Also, if you would Matt, please let everyo...
