J Tucker Prototype. He's in a 2 track phase we hope he grows out of.
With maturity comes four tracks...not sure where that leaves single tracks?

Battery disconnects only prevent storage drain if you use them….

Family had a Covid setback. Good news is we all survived! It’s definitely a thing so be careful out there.
Battery back in purring like a cat. Oil leak is getting worse. Slant will need a seal refresh next year or two.
Hoping to get the frame welded on the 53 Wednesday. After that can swap positions and service the cat for winter. Should be routine!

Supply chain has impacted New
England. Waiting on Sno-motivation at the mercy of other ports of entry. (weather or goods).
Hustling what little winter we have 100 miles north!
J Tucker riding lap this year currently. Was informed last week his Sno check youth sled isn’t even being built until end February 1 year later?
Jr on the other hand headed to the limited Sno testing grounds tomorrow with some cheat parts.
Snovid 2022!
If a radiator leaks on the ground and there is no sno to turn green, is it a leak with fixing?

Happy New Year! We will let the left coasters know how it is first!
Resorts on Mt. Hood are closed today...they can't clear the roads of sno to get there.
Happy New Year too

Tucker has been removed from time out. Coolant leak looks like loose hoses so went though and tightened them all.
Front passenger tension bolt backed off last trip. Set the tension back to 1 1/2” center wheel to track hanging the front end.
Also greased the front idlers, carriers, table, pivots. Here I like to suspend the front end and grease in the ground to promote grease too and bottom of loaded pivot points.
Like the idea of the Uhmw sleeve carrier upgrade in life once winter returns on the regular.

It’s like a lottery ticket in the north east past few weeks of mostly losing. Healthy group of negative or positive or both with a side of close contacts.

Fixed the back seats but after evaluating feedback from experienced tucker people hauling people they are hitting storage.
Significant amount of room with them removed.

The Orange Rule as outline in the manual:

We were awaiting a fireworks display but the local man shut it down. Couldn’t shut down the awesome though!
