I'm throwing a sled.....

[ruppluver]

together from junk parts.The engine was junk,seat was junk,suspension/track is not good,most parts were NOT good!!! But here is a picture of my,junk FREE AIR JLO 440 powered sled.I'll only post a couple pictures for now.Yes,I had a tetness shot before I started working on it,plus I wore a mask.LOL.


Yes,this sled starts/runs,track even turns.
From the info I've found on this engine,its a 1969 JLO,
LR440/2.This engine is "unique",because parts from the
"other" 1970 LR440/2,won't interchange.It was a "one"
year only engine & I made a FA out of it.What was I
thinking!!! The heads,have HIGH fins,like a FA.It
won't get run much,will spend lots of time on the
trailer.

I found a crappy windshield,upstairs in the garage.Has
one bent corner & plenty of scratches.Will work just
fine on this project.Also had the rear axle out,I busted
the idlers & guide sprocket,running on stand.All back
together.Hopefully it will last through the winter.

This sled never saw any snow this last winter.It hadn't been started since last fall.I started it yesterday,primed it,started on 2nd pull.Of course,it fouled a plug.Put a new plug in,ran very good.I'll use it this summer for killing bugs.It will make a good fog machine.

Today I DROVE this sled out of the shed & up to the garage.It runs really nice in the grass. It should see some time in the snow this coming winter.I'll give my Ruppaha some time off.
