Northeast Indiana? Do you mean Churubusco? I sure hope so. Oh, and by the way, I told my wife and she said it was OK.

Geez. I offered them 500 at 10:30 yesterday morning and they refused. Went to 600 and still a no go. Couldn't hang around any longer to haggle with them after fixing the choke lever
temorarily with a paper clip since my services were required in the sprayer.

I Like the Evian water bottle for the coolant recovery vessel, that's a new one in my book.

Kind of taking offense here. Are you putting my new sled down? I have plenty of parts to bring it back including the TR800 clutch.

i talked to him that morning and said i would give him 600 for it but i told him how much it would cost to make it that 1000 dollar sled and we worked it out. I will see if i can find a couple more i talked to friend that was the mechanic at deere and he said they sold 10-11 84 liquifires that year out of freeport, he was going to try and remember the names for me

Been looking for a "project" sled. Bob gave me permission to do a complete "resto" on it regardless of cost. Can't beat that deal.

Well, no. I attempted to own it and was rejected. Timing is crucial as usual. i will take the 108 EXP if you need a home for that.

Bob, Congrats on getting the 84. You guys will enjoy it.

Guys,

I know of another 84 LF for sale, but the seller will not post it here due to "excessive enthusiasm" for racers and 84's on this page. Bickering or complaining about the price, non-buyers calling the sellers, and even banned members complaining about it on other vintage snowmobile sites drives some guys, and even members in good standing, away from us.

While I am as enthusiastic as the rest of us on race sleds, rare builds like the 82 Snow and Sprintfires', not to mention the 84's, we need to keep it positive, friendly and welcoming to new and old memebers alike.

I hope you can see my point, and thank you.

They can. Especially the "SN" girl. IT's good to see the Indiana Girl (The one with the IN on her cheeks) making the BIG TIME.

I also encourage you all to pick on me, becasue I then return it all "10 fold" to Rainville. I guess we're easy targets. :lol22:

Now, for some reason, I am thinking "SNOW" :thinksnow:
