Good morning everyone.

Wife is bugging me to buy a snow blower. We have one already. It needs a drive wheel and the carb cleaned. Hopefully I'll get some time to work on it today. I have paneling to finish in the basement as well.

Sorry to hear about your friend's dad Troy.

Good luck on the snowmobile Jay.

Jim ... you need to train your dogs better. 5:30am on a Saturday is simply too early.

Any plans on getting two miles back? Or are your expectations of it that low?

That is the truth.

I need to replace the shaft that the rear idler wheels that I bought go on. It is badly worn and that's why the last wheels went bad I guess. And the bottom shaft on the rear shock is bent. Figured I may as well replace that since I have it all apart.

The bad thing on that rear shaft is they have discontinued that and I have to replace the whole kit and kaboodle so I assume that means returning the two wheels I just bought.

I am surprised. Not much snow left on the trails I saw tonight.

There are a lot of bare spots. We need another 6" of snow.

That sucks about needing more parts. I'll be bringing mine out to the shop tomorrow and figure out what parts I am going to need to fix the steering linkage.
