Sorry Bob but these things just seem to follow me. Maybe one day i can find something good but for now this will have to do..... Did i also say that this Dator is a true Enduro Team Deere sled ?. Only the second one i know of with the first being Brian Nelsons at the Haall of Fame.... Yawn... :sick2: :

Got a message from a fellow vintage snowmobile club member back in November who is into Yamaha's but works for a John Deere dealer asking me if I was interested in a Snowfire - "Sure!" was the obvious answer as it will make a good companion to my '83 Sprintfire i had just finished. Turns out it was an '82 with all the "right parts" (track belly pan muffler etc) intact and in good shape. Never thought i would ever have a crack at a Snowfire to add to the herd let alone an '82 model... Summer project! :wink:

Almost forgot another important find of 2010 - Had been looking for the "elusive" silver suit to go with my Trailfire for a LONG time. One came on our club classifieds - luckily in my size.... Better not hog out at any summer BBQ's!
