Just wanted to say Hello to you people and give a short intro of myself.
I'm just a 72 year old young'n that is still using a Muskeg at my camp for timber hauling. Presently live in central NYS and got my 1976 Bombardier Muskeg S carrier a couple of years ago and must admit it is my personal best liked toy. You can see it on U-Tube,
just put in "1976 Bombardier Muskeg S carrier" to see it.
Now, it needs TLC, you know tracks, wheel bearings, rewiring,and other routine maintenance projects. From what i've read so far this forum should help me a great deal in many ways.
I also dabble in Steam Engines at home. Have a couple of running engines and presently in the midst of building a 1/2 scale Case Steam Tractor to play around with. Central New York near Syracuse isn't a bad place to live, but being at my camp near Saranac Lake, NY is my preferred habitat.
I also play around with Black Powder firearms, both rifles and pistols in percussion cap and flintlock. Got a small collection of those which have been used either hunting or competitive target shooting. Also have a few 45-70 black powder cartridge rifles and pistol that are used for target shooting.
Well that's enough about me for now.
Hopefully I can contribute to some of your Forum topics.
