Sled was rode last year, it was the sled in the you tube video's I made. I am thinking it may have had some silicone carbide blasting sediment in the exhaust and it possibly sucked back in through the exhaust.. :think:

Really I though it was the one on the pallet next to the shed. I thought the one in the Vid was already restored.

No..

The one in the video is still in pieces like it always has been. I dont have a money tree like you guys have on the East coast.. :lol: The Mutt has moved on to somewhere in Michigan..I cant ride the T-cat at the HOF either, the D&D pipes on it are way too loud and the DNR would have me by the nads!! It will come along for the ride for a couple stunt shows... :dance: If there is room on the trailer and I can get the L-Fire back to par. The Cougar will be coming out next weekend and be sporting some new suspension springs and the youngest daughter has made claims on that sled for ever.. :wall: I guess she will be fastest 10 year old in the county.. :silenced:

For some strange reason all my money trees died after I started buying vintage Deere sleds. :sad:

Everything is on order..Not sure what happened to the engine. Could have just been poor chrome on the cylinders and the new rings just didnt like it...I dont know. I have 2 useable jugs that were ran through the Muriatic acid and cleaned very throughly. Maybe I sucked snow in it, maybe blast media, maybe cold seize, maybe 3000 rpms on a cold engine is too high... :think:

Damn talk about organized. I think that was part of my problem. Not enough warm up and new rings in old cylinders.
