Brian, I am remiss in not telling the famous Robert Carlson story with the rabbit carbide stickers....at tech inspection at Winnepeg, Carbide reps were slapping rabbit decals on all the sleds going through inspection! Starting line next day Dad sees these blue rabbit decals on the team sleds at 35 below and blows a gasket..."No damn fake oil decals on team sleds" and starts ripping them off the team 340/s's! Carbide rep. grabs him and says ..hey you can't do that, we are supplying the oil, Dad replies, BS, I'm supplying the sleds! And there won't be some decal on here other than a Deere decal. Carbde rep. says who are you? Dad says "John Deere"! All at -35 with the race starting in 10 minutes! All I heard for 3 days was "Damn fake rabbit oil" JRC

Every bolt prior to 1977 was Caterpillar grade 8 on my I-500 sleds (Cormican) perscription. Every Deere mono leaf spring untill 1981 was junk, all took a sub standard weak preset in the first 50 miles, Long debates about the mono leafs, bottom line was they were weak untill Stan Hayes ran the proto's after 1980...then OK JRC

I spoke with the original owner of my cc yesterday and he told me the springs were one of the first things he changed out! He said the local dealer told him to as the mono spring was prone to flatten out or break on hard impact. Now that I have this information I will be leaving the multi spring ones on for the restoration.
