Kristi KT7 restoration pictures

Well I NEVER! OK so maybe once.

BigAl I have been waiting SO LONG for thet Yetti to get up and running. Hell I was just a young kid when you started and now I'm a Grandpa. I'm almost ready for the Old Folks home! As far as Mighty Mouse. Well he is just waiting to be repainted to look all new and fancy.
 
Ok ! Back to the theme of this thread :17875: !

The right angle drive motors are finally now in place and ready to be bolted up :thumb: . It took me most of the day hand filing the ujoint so it would slide up the output shaft far enough to allow the gear box to slip into place . What a royal pain in the butt that was :moon: .
Tomorrow I go get new bolts and lock nuts and finish her up on the inside .
I should have her all back together by Sunday night ,weather permitting .:coolshade :coolshade :coolshade
 
Mouse Ear ??? ,
Why are you always picking on me ??? I am doing the best I can to get ole Yetti repaired . The cost was unbelievable to repair those hydro's and besides that I have my monthly "Save the Earth from Global Warming " contribution that I must send in ,to defeat nay sayers like you . This does not even include my "Save the Fat Ass Whales", Green Piece of Sh#t, or the Sierra Shit#y Club dues that I must pay in to also .
Hopefully very soon I will have Yetti up and running so I can throw down fake snow in my shop and pretend to be in the back country saving wayward Snot Tracs from doom .
 
Sure Mouse Ear , deny everything like it never happened ......
Ok ,
The gear drives are hooked up and the Clam shells are installed . Remember those Damn snaprings that kicked my ass a year or so ago ??? Well , they are still doing it . I finally got one on after 5 hours of trying . Tomorrow I hope to get the other one in place .
I also tried damn hard to break my thumb with a nuclear powered 1/2 drill today . It puts out about 285 horse power and wrapped my thumb around the handle about 4 times before I could let go . My thumb is now about 6 " long . It also bends in any direction . Tomorrow I hope to find the thumbnail that was attached to it :smileywac .
 
"MY THUMB HURTS!"

If BigAl was on South Park!

This coming from a guy who has been working on HIS snowcat for 2 years?????? You of all people should know a work of art takes time. Not to mention alot of money! BUT I do have faith that this time the Yetti will roar to life and run like a scalded Ape!
 
Yetti only needs her Tracks put on and she is ready to head down to Chico for the new revised Hydraulic plumbing .Getting that last snapring in was a pain and I ended up building a set of snap ring pliers that really work .:thumb:

I'll be taking all my new hoses that I just had made a year ago with me when I head down to the shop . That was over a $1000 in Hoses when they were made up and I am hoping I can use some of them . I am going to give the hydraulic shop a call in the morning and hope I can take her down on Wednesday. It should not take to long unless they decide to go with a two hydraulic pump design . One for the body tilt and one dedicated to the hydro drive system . Terry seems to think this is where Kristi Co. made a big mistake by tying the two systems together .He seems to think she will really scoot across the snow, based on the bench test he ran on the motors :17875: . We shall see soon as they have a big field out back of the shop where they test run equipment after were finished putting the hoses on correctly .
 
Well Yetti all hooked up to the truck and ready to head down . The tracks went back on in a snap . I did a little welding that I wanted to do and plan to head out to my Buddy's welding shop tomorrow to cut off a piece of metal that is not needed . I'll them turn toward Chico or go down on Thursday morning . I'll be damn glad to finish this as it is starting to wear me down .I can't remember the last time something like this kicked my butt so bad .
When I bring it back , I'll need to replace some carpet and upholstery that I totally screwed up with grease and dirt and go over all the electronics one last time to insure they are working correctly . The "built in popcorn machine" seems to burn about every 3rd batch I make, so I need to check that too :yum: . I also have a leak in my Mini bar as it always seems to be empty the next morning :smileywac . I can't see it taking more than a day to do to take care of the little details . After that its just waiting for the snow to arrive:snow2_smi: .

Well I don't know how to do a video and put it on the internet ?????? We have a video camera that I use to tape my daughters Basketball games ,so they could review it later , but that is the extent of my talent with one .
How about a whole series of still pictures ???
If someone can do the upload I am all for it ,but we are on Dail up(28.8 K ),which is really ,really slow .

YOU BASTARD !!!! I knew I wasn't drinkin that much ...... Though I could not be sure each morning as I woke up with a hangover ... Finally the truth is revealed .

So what do you think happened to it Mike :fart2: ????? I'm betting Bogus Bob or Toe Jam Tommo sneak in at night and drain me dry :beer: . There sneaky little so in so's .
 
After all the crap I have taken from you, Bogus Bob, Toe Jam Tomma , Loud Mouth Lnydon , and a few others that will remain unnamed for lack of a proper nickname ????!!! I'll bid $750 just to keep all the "super secret Kristi stuff" secure and out of the Clown Crews hands :moon: .
 
Wait, Big Al are we still on for the 28% commision we talked about, if that is the case I raise my bid to $10,000.01
