It's getting bigger and better all the time, It took just a little push from the Tye one on cat for me to sign up and now everyone want to go. Who would have thunk I was so popular? And yes Mikemikelle we will have a grand time representing both sides of the plateau.
….…… so, it looks like you're going after the ; brake/clutch master cyl. ( do you have a source for a rebuild kit , I have a couple to overhaul; providing the ''bores'' are reuseable),.... new belts, rad. repair, possibly a water pump,... how's my guess so far,... thx P/P ,....
oh yeah got to add lots and lots of LED light bars, so the space shuttle can see the forest all lit up...
If you follow WBJ1's "Over-Kill-O-Wattage" LED Light philosophy, you'll need either a higher output alternator or a second alternator....
thinking a Honda 50 kw generator on a tucker snow cat power light trailer, pretty much keep up with everyone...
:th_lmao: Are you sure that 543 will make it pulling a 50kw generator? Might have to send the Kt-4 out with the Sqwrl to help pull it! ��
Gathering of old grousers on the 4th of July? Challenge accepted by the Sqwrl (He is a professional driver so pinks should be no problem). The deeper and wetter the better since the Kt-4 up for the challenge has some tricks up her sleeve! If by some chance the Sqwrl fails am I allowed to be in the essay contest? :th_lmao:

OO, good so far, add exhaust, radiator issues, alternator, starter, tune up, clean up wiring, new hoses, replace hood side panels, (checking stock) and etc etc don't want to be the one with the broken down machine, oh yeah got to add lots and lots of LED light bars, so the space shuttle can see the forest all lit up...
do have a good source on brake/clutch, BSI in Havana on the Willamette, so many of good parts/repair/radiator shops are going away so fast, dang dang dang
…… so, just a ''minor'' overhaul...lol... also add another alt. & battery for all the extra lights …. lol. tried to google bsi, no webpage,... must be ''old school'' shop.... same around here, the old repair shops are fading away, the younger generation want nothing to do with manual labor/ getting dirty, etc... our trades are in danger for sure,.... if you have a phone number , or better yet ...a p/n for a rerbuild kit,...much appreciated,...thx p/p....
yup, just a minor overhaul...
OO, do you need a GM style brake/clutch master cylinder? happy to get you a rebuild kit and or new one for you.
oh ooh , engine is gone ,.. time for a hemi..lol.. yes, on the dual bore m/c overhaul/rebuild kit,... thank you ,,,... p/p.... brake/clutch assy.....
Ha Ha! PP for the win! Since I will not be there for this one someone will need to light the way for BFT!!
I'm surprised the Snow Trac mafia are not merely under-represented, but completely without representation.
I thought maybe it was because they were concerned about having to contend with deep snow, and/or high elevation. (Both of which might put them at a significant disadvantage.)
But I did some research and, believe it or not, the site of the Clowder, Big Powderhorn Mountain in Michigan, gets almost as much annual snowfall as Sun Valley!
Big Powderhorn:
- Projected Opening Projected Closing12/15/2019 04/01/2020
- Days Open Last Year
100- Projected Days Open
108- Years Open
55- Average Snowfall
214"
Sun Valley:
- Projected Opening Projected Closing11/28/2019 04/19/2020
- Days Open Last Year
149- Projected Days Open
137- Years Open
83- Average Snowfall
220"
In terms of elevation, Big Powderhorn's base is 1,200', and the Summit is 1,800', with a vertical drop of only 600'. Sun Valley on the other hand has a base elevation of 5,750', a Summit of 9,150, and a vertical drop of 3,400.
So maybe it's the elevation and the topography that's keeping the Snow Trac mafia back home; safe and sound in their warm garages?
can we say 426 hemi, diesel, or Tesla electric
got you the rebuild kit
,..... that's awesome, much appreciated,... I like those choices,... not sure where to hide the 1000lb. lithium battery...lol. tesla electrical fires have been on the news quite a bit lately,....
