Aw no luck, I talked with Doug Hayes from Hayes Metals, he said they dont make them anymore, but he will grind me some to the proper weight, he has the spec sheet and design, he should he raced them back in the day.

General Discussion / New Sled

« on: August 31, 2014, 07:21:14 PM »

Today I brought home the new/old 79 Trail Cat 340, seems like a nice sled turns over and has spark so it should run, I bought it from the original owner and he says it run when he parked it, I don't know its future but you may see it this year as a rider, I still need to pickup the 73 polairs colt yet, so the sled purchases still go on, buy and sell does it ever end? I'll get some pic's out soon as we know this thread is usless without them.

A big thanks to John Earley for fixing my snotwister the MAN is a wounderful mechanic, after hours of wrenching on this sled, I could not figure it out, thanks to John I will be running it next year.

Howdy Folks, I been away awhile, with a trip to Oregon, Utah, and Cali, looks like I'll be home now till next year, so anyway yes there will be a Old Iron ride Jan 18, 2014, everything should remain the same as last year, I'm hoping this year we can make the ride on the proper date, unlike last year, I'll post a flier or Recoil will most likely, Take care Spraygas.

Nice write up Patty thank you, its always nice to know how the ride went for those of us that can't make it, sounds like it was a good time, anytime there is food and drinks and a vintage snowmobile its sure to be a fun time.Next time bring one of them photo taking devises.
