So complete opposite of Football then.

 

I always slept better during the day!!

That drove my poor Mother even more crazy!!

Then I might not be human!

If I don't force myself to get up by 0600 in a week I will sleep all day be up all night.

 

Much appreciated

 

Front page second item:

A Saab 3 cylinder, 2 stroke engine.



My father had a Saab 96, you put a quart of "Saab Approved" engine oil in the gas tank every fill up.



Front wheel drive with a free wheel feature for better economy.



19 second video of the 2 stroke take off.

^^^^^ This is a make your day picture

 

There has been a contract tree service working on the electrical right of ways.

Before:



After:
This is right across from the house, the brush was right up to the snow line, much nicer to mow & plow now.



Looking down the road, it is steeper than it looks here.

 

I see two of your three seasons in those pictures, snow and mud

Trimming looks nice

 

Then dust season!

 

That is cool, I’ve always loved two stroke engine noise…..and smell

 

I went for a mile or so walk on the road today, my shoes were carrying so much mud it felt like I had ankle weights on.

 

After all the replies, I think I’ll add a quick link to my safety chains to shorten them. Basically adding a loop with the quick link to shorten the chain, keeping the weak point in the quick link, and not cutting the chain.

 

I got some two stroke noise in today! Pretty awesome ride considering how little snow there is.

 

I’d love to ride one of those, never even seen one in person.

 

600cc, 120hp, when the trails set up good like they were this morning it’s almost like riding a sport atv that hooks up way better and turns on a dime. On the other hand, it was 10 degrees when I left the house this morning, drove an hour and a half up north to unload, and it wasn’t warmer there. If you can stand the cold for a day, I’d say do it. There’s nothing like riding a snowmobile.

 

That looks fast just sitting there, Yee-Haw!

 

The only one I ever rode was kind of like this.



Check out the specifications, 15 hp!

 

Funny thing is, it got more than 2x the fuel mileage than the Tacoma. Sled gets 20-22mpg, taco gets 8-10mpg towing on the highway!

 

Sno-Jet, you bet!!! There’s a local radio personality named Drifty Twitchell who talks about his Sno-Jet from time to time. Classic Maine humor.

 

@six5crèéd the mill told me they would have to take about a half inch of thickness to get a twist out. They gave me a price break lol. Here is how I am approaching this build. Gaps have to be right!
