Good morning Jay and Jim! Bring on Tuesday!

That should give you enough snow to play around with Jim.

It is but I have my sled pulled apart. My 1200 has been leaking oil for 2-3 years so I bought a new tank last year but didn't change. Last weekend I pulled the engine because the oil tank is on the backside and of the engine with half it tucked between the engine and bulkhead. It is tight getting the engine out and in. I got the engine back in last night and intake bolted back in. Still a lot more to bolt back on. Below is what I started with yesterday afternoon. I also pulled the shocks yesterday morning to get rebuilt
