Had 15 to 20 old ones at one time. Fixed them up or kept them running, shed was full of them. Mostly had Polaris racers and Arctic Cats -had 4 Panthers with side pipes. Still have a few parts, mostly Arctic Cat tracks, a engine mount for a 760 JLO eng. Sold all the extra hoods (even had a purple metalflake Panther hood). Every winter someone would knock on the door asking if I might sell a sled. As my kids were getting older, I sold all but the nicest Panther with side pipes. Finally bought a New 1996 SkiDoo Formula III long trail -custom ordered for almost twice the price of a standard Formula III -paid $8,250 in Feb 1995 with discounted pre-order. Mfg didn't have a long track planned till after the spring annual dealer convention in Florida. Seems mountain riders wanted SkiDoo to offer a long track in the new 600cc triple cyl sled. It has reverse, mirrors, two-up seat with heated hand warmers for the passenger, saddle bags, luggage rack, and cover. I still have it but it was last driven in 1998 and just cleared 600 miles. Hardly a scratch on it.
Have thought about selling but even at $2500 most people try to cut it down saying they can buy any 96 Formula III for $800, so I still have it, kept inside under cover. I used to take the kids to snowmobile rallies around MN before 1995.
Fun times but don't ride anymore.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
