Thanks Gerry, one like this has been at the top of my wish list for a long time.
Did you use a tow rope or a chain? A neighbour pulled my Bobcat, 8,300 lbs, out when I was hung up in a ditch full of snow by leaving slack in the tow rope, taking run to tug with the tow rope with his 01 F150 4X4. The first tug didn`t really budge me but after the second try there was some movement and a few more I was out. It really helped that he was lined up for a straight pull.
I definitely am buying this XL Randy!
We made the deal over the phone last week and on Sunday I'm driving 3 hrs to put cash down in making the final arrangements. The seller has storage for it till spring since I won't drive it that far till the salt is off the highways.
Evening everyone! I almost pulled another vehicle outta the ditch last night, the problem was that he was stuck good and my tow rope was too short and my truck kept sliding towards the ditch so I just gave up. I am definitely going to order a winch soon!
Morris, that is a beautiful car! You should totally buy it!

That's a sweet car Morris!!! If you need to make room for it let me know...
Well, damper on my riding plans for the weekend... Talked to my riding buddy last night, he had been having some performance issues with his sled last time we were out. Tore into it to find that a piece of the cylinder skirt had broken off and tumbled around inside the crankcase and lodged in the reed case... New motor time for him. Polaris builds a phenomenal chassis, but they need to work on building a 800cc motor that lasts more than 2000 miles.
I'll likely do some riding solo, but its always so much more fun with another guy...
Temps are moderating. Above 0 for next week!!!!

Morning everyone!!
Missed practice last night but did see #99 with the fastest lap!!
AWESOME car Morris!!! Wow. and the ole 390 screamer, numbers matching to boot. Great buy!!
Holy snapper, 2000miles. That means in the last 3 seasons with the crappy Phazer I would have rebiult the motor 2 times per season
T
I'm sure if Polaris asked nice like Cat, Yamaha would build them an engine that lasts
Jus razzin ya.
If your our ridin alone, Sherm, take er easy. Bring some electrical tape, and something to stick in the snow to jimmy rig a mount for the GoPro to catch that vid of you smokin some drifts

Happy Saturday mornin all. Nice car Morris, My dad had a 4dr. Curtis/ Sherm: in the late 80's a friend of mine put a Yamaha 570 in a Polaris 500 chassis and called it his YAMALARIS. It's amazing that he took the time to do something like that. Back then we lived to sled, but this guy was a sled head 12 months out of the year. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he had determination. We've had a ton of snow lately, and the weather will be nice this weekend. I think I'll let the kid's take a rip on the sled's this weekend. 2nd time this year. How sad
Well guy's, enjoy the weekend.

Good afternoon Ford folks!
That`s what I like to see!
Thanks Colin, tomorrow I off to see it and hopefully it`s as good as it looks in these pictures, if so I`ll be buying it and bringing it home when the salt is gone off the highways.
I love `em both too.
Thanks for the offer Sherm but I`m good to go!
Riding alone is a bummer, like with quads as it`s a lot more fun riding with a buddy or two.
3°C for tomorrow and the rest of the week looks good too!

Looks good to me too guys.
I`d quit then too, certainly sounds like a bad situation all around!

I was using a tow rope but it's only a 20ft. and he was too far into the ditch to be able to get any momentum to pull him out. And every time I gave him a tug my truck would slide closer to the ditch. Another reason I gave up is because the last tug I gave, I kept on he throttle for a bit and when I let off my truck died. It started back up right away but I figured that was a sign to quit.

Happy Friday mornin'all. Blew the driveway out last night. Said to myself "Self". Hope this is the last time, but NO! It filled in overnight. I'll have to get more gas for the blower. No, I'll syphon the gas out of my lawn tractor. Maybe Mother Nature will get the picture. Have a great day guy's, and enjoy the weekend.

I had one of these, white with red interior. [no skirts]
It was 1966, I left it with my "buddy" in Chicago when I went to boot camp because they told us "no cars while you are in boot camp."
Returned a few months later... My so called buddy was gone, my '64 was gone and I was never able to find it.
So don't go to boot camp before you pick it up!
