Glad to hear there is another out there with the addiction! My advice is to pick a model, probably the one you have the best memories of, and start a rebuild. After one they will just start to follow you home. I know, yesterday I had a 295s & 500 follow me home. I think I'm up to about 26 machines, but have lost countBOTTOMS UP!!

Hello Rooster & welcome aboard. Funny how when a guy grows up riding JD sleds, they just seem to remain in your bloodsstream and eventually start to become an obsession. Your story could easily apply to myself and probably most other people in this forum. You are sure to find this site very helpful in your pursuit, maintenance and care of JD sleds. Regards, Pete
