The sled I sold,was rode for 2 years by me. I had no problems with it,EXCEPT one fouled spark plug. It was one of my better starting,riding sleds!

That's great to hear that he's having a good time. At least the first sled he got was a good experience. Can't say any parts or future sleds he will buy will be such a good experience tho. Its nice to meet guys like you out there yet!

Thanks dacota25d,I'm sure I could have gotten more for it,but I like to see the youngsters get into sledding. If I can help,I will. It's not so much about the money,it's seeing these kids eyes light up,when getting their first,vintage sled & having fun with it. That's what this hobby should be about! That is my take on it,BUT I'm sure it's not everyones opinion! Later.

I decided to go through my last 4 totes of parts,that were in my out buildings.I was running low on front,center drive shafts,FOUND 5 of them in one of my tote boxes. Found lots of WT suspension parts,got a big box of idler wheels & rear guide sprockets to be shipped out,1st part of next year.Hopefully have a BIG pile of stuff going out in February!! Then I will be sitting pretty good on my parts. Slowly winding down!! Only have 3 tunnels left.

How do these guys find your place? Do you give them your address?

I advertise in various places & offers are made.When I accept their offers,they come & get it at the offer they made.If they try & weasel out of their offer,they leave without the sled.It seems to work in my area,don't know how that would work elsewhere.

I sent a snowsuit to WA.One less thing hanging in my closet. I've been getting a sled ready for delivery.At this rate,I won't have anything left! Less junk to trip over in the shop. More time to build sleds!
