Nothing earth shattering but,
I sold a pair of 340/S's and my 84 LF to fund another project. And when that fell through I re-invested in a package deal that included a very nice 83 LF, 74 (I think) JDX4, JD clothing, parts, etc.
I have since moved the LF but still have the X4 in hopes to make a nice rider out of her. Or SELL it!

Last year I found a 78 cross country chassis and Skid.
Old sleds are hours of entertainment.... then you get to ride them for a little bit.

Greatest find was a polaris sled dolly, Found it on Kijji for $100.00. I didn't know how much I needed one till I got it.
Next was my 82 Liquifire project. Thanks Murray.
Also found a nice 91 Indy 400 for my wife to ride

Well my greatest find was not a sled this year, but an International W-4 Tractor for the price of free from a family member. A complete 1951 W-4 is a good find in my book.

Re: Whats Your Greatest Find Of 2012 ?
I have had a few good 2012 finds. They include a 340/s, JD bicycle, 78 340 and 440 Cyclone, and a 79 AC Jag w/single place trailer. All for under $250. I think I did pretty well. Hope to have some nice 2013 finds .

Re: Whats Your Greatest Find Of 2012 ?
For 2012 huh deals i picked up a 2006 skidoo renegade x 800 for $2400 that needed a motor rebuild, a decent 78 440 liquifire summer project. But i think the best was trading my 295/s small tank for a chassis and misc parts then found another one for 5 bucks at haydays on sunday two days later. And a dozen wave runners for parts but they found me.

Re: Whats Your Greatest Find Of 2012 ?
I found a 1974 jdx6 that has been sitting in a barn for 30 years. I talked him into giving it to me and now less then $20 later (including fuel) and help from this site and a friend of mine, it runs again!! Its the first sled I have ever owned and I couldn't be happier with it. Perfect price for the kind of winter we are having. Now I am slowly getting deeper into it. I am going to buy some flat black paint, clear coat, and have my mom cut new vinyl to replace the cracked original decals on it.

Knew about it in 2012, but didn't buy it till today. My buddy had a 73 600 in his barn. Motors been rebuilt. All i hafta do is clean it up, put it back together, & find an access door for the top of the cowling.
