Thanks Everyone for the kind words, and well wishes !! Keith, Thanks for the good humor!! I really needed that as smiles have been getting harder to make lately. To answer a few of the questions: We are moving to Jacksonville, N.C. It's just outside the gates of Camp LeJune, the big East Coast Marin...

I an very sad to say, that with what's going on with the economy, at least in my household, I have sold my 80 Liquifire, to another gentleman, that took a look at the sled last weekend, and will be taking possesion of it tomorrow. He has big plans to totally restore the sled, as it is much straighte...

I am just about finished with getting my 80 LF running, and I know that the spec sheets say purple spring, and B (now B-1) weights. Did they do any updates after like notching fore higher engagemeny, or using a B-3 weight??

Thought I saw this on a post here one time. Might have been a typo!!

I just gave away a good used 16 x 121 Cat Track off of a 85 Cougar, and a 15 x 121 Cat Track off of a 89 Cougar. I didn't know until reading this post today, that the 16" wide, would help you guys out. The good news!! I have 2 more of the 16 inch wide tracks. One is on a 1988 El Tigre 5000 part...

Won't the use of the stock Liquifire exhaust make a big differece?

I am trying to get my 1980 LF running, that has a 79 Invader transplant engine. I have rebuilt the engine, and am installing it this weekend, trying to bring it back to life. Thanks to all who have gotten me info, and parts to bring the sled back to life, but since it has a different engine than ori...

Just like John said, they do get snow out there, as it did a few times when I lived out that way in 1998-99. And i do know they ride in New Mexico, as the mountains get lots of snow near the northern border.

I just want to say thanks for all of you guys, that share those experiences. They are all priceless to you, and to us!

Thank You sledrescue, and all the other sponsors as well!! It's nice of you to do that for the Deere Group.

I'm just a little frustrated and angry right now.. I have been rebuilding the engine for my 80 LF, and after getting a set of heads, because the bolts that hook the head to the top coolant manifold together, broke both bolts off in the head, I now have an added headache. I tried to take the thermost...

The Cat track would be the ones used on the later, I believe 1979,cross country cats, and were rubber. Steve

Thanks Rich! I was thinking I would need the year machines you mentioned only! Someday, i will find one that will work. With so many missing on the sleds, you would think they are everywhere!!

Thanks Again!! Steve

I have someone who has offered me an Airbox off a 78 Liquifire, to be used on my 1980 Liquifire. I know the engines are different, but not sure if it's the same part number, and should fit.

I'm thinking it won't but want you experts to give me the info!! Steve

Hey, Glad to help.

I-500, where do you line in the area?? Steve
