Re: My future JD "clone" build
My apologies. It was late and I blame the medication...
Shannon - you are a lucky guy. Passion for your project and an interested partner to help you through it. My wife doesn't discourage me from my hobby, but she sure won't be found in the garage cleaning sled parts either.

Re: My future JD "clone" build
it all started when i was 14 i bought it for $25 the nieghbor guy had it loaded on a trailer getting it ready to go to the salvage yard and he knew i was into tinkering on snowmobiles, and dirt bikes so he told me to make him an offter on it (offered him $25 and pulled it down the sidewalk to my house), so after a couple of weeks my dad gave me a hand the motor had a spark issue and it was easier to get a different motor (well thought that way when i was 14 haha ) so heres where my liking for JD sleds began i remember the days of riding it across the cornfeilds behind my house what a blast and i was hooked on JD snowmobiles
thanks guys i love having lauren over i've never met another girl thats so much like me from fishing, hunting, 4 wheeling wrenching going out on dates, and working on snowmobiles, i have the best of both worlds

Better hang onto her as gals like that are not to be found often. Treat her well young man.
You two are doing a great job on the details and will really have something to be proud of when it all goes back together.

Matt,
That was Aaron Z's Dator at the Alexander show two years ago I think.
