Post by jd_decalguy »

Kenny and I were up by Pequot Lakes today when we stumbled on to this. so what do you guys think? Kenny thought it might be something, but I thought that we should have left it for someone else to find :whistle: :whistle: .

wade,
yes i got your photos thank you!

brian,
kenny and i have been doing some major bushwacking, and I opened up my shop to him so it looks like horicon north in there! but mostly we have been building tucker's sled and he wants to get it done before he goes back to MO.

as far as the photos go, just let me say with many members of team deere in the area that i live in stranger things have happened than finding the thing in the photo.

Looks like a Ski Doo PRS chassis with a Liquifire hood mounted.

Just my guess.

That must be the infamous "Deere-Doo" prototype!

ok, so you caught us on the doo-deere! :clap: . it will be a future project i am amazed at how well the hood fit when we set it on the tunnel. funny no one noticed the 1973 ifs factory chap racer in the background. we are working on two of these for Waconia next year. one of them is Freddy Jillsin's and the other is Roger Jannsen's (sp). also working on tucker's 78 cyclone putting a 2.52 drive and a new track under it, with a polaris skid, plus kenny is doing some major motor mods to it. pickup the motor for the pogo stick liquifire that we are putting together (triple power baby!) have had the great pleasure to work with Kenny and Terry Nygard in my shop for the last month it has been a great honor! many things going on here and as long as i keep the coffee on they keep coming and teaching me more old school wrenching and great, great stories and history. hoping to also get Jerome Kretzman up here for a visit. it has truely been allot of fun around here.
