Here is a picture of my JD300 parked by a nice snow drift.

Must be nice! Wish I had some snow to ride on around here, I would post some action shots of my 600. Your 300 looks like it is in good shape.

I couldn't help myself. I had to post my 600 action shot in WI. The village piles the snow off the streets here or I would have found none at all. 
Yes That is a snow pile, Its dirty but it is a snow pile. Nothing compared to yours.

That looks like it was a great day. (I mean the Manitoba one, not the Wisconsin dirt pile)
It's best to make use of the snow we still have, we know it'll be a pain when it eventually starts to melt.
I put 40 miles on the Trailfires this weekend, too.
At least 6 inches of nice dry snow on hard frozen snow underneath, absolutely great riding.
Here's a pic of my buddy after he made a wrong move. Some routes looked like they were solid, but turned out to be fluffy drifts. No damage, although the windshield has a couple more cracks.
It's snowing right now, maybe 4 more inches by tomorrow night, and it's not supposed to get above freezing until the weekend.

I'd say the sled is in good shape, but needs to be finished yet.
Here's the list of issues:
Needs both the dimmer and kill switch for the handle bars.
Needs light replaced, voltage regulator installed, brake light replaced.
Track is starting to rip on my, it also needs to be tensioned as it ratches.
Need to figure out how to put the air box onto a mikuni carb.
Cover for the clutch side is in rough, but usable condition.
Missing top and recoil side covers. (I made an aluminum top cover for it)
O yeah, it's snowing more tonight to.

You can still get kill switches from Pats Small engine, http://www.psep.biz/store/john_deere_kill_switch.htm as far as dimmers go I am still looking to.
