Names Tony,
I'm 31 and live in northern Minnesota right on lake Superior. I've been riding sleds for about 3 years now, still have a allot to learn. Was a home body living in the city, then my parents purchased 40 acres of land a few year ago and we ended up going nuts.
I really have no clue what I'm doing, I have mild experience fixing a stuck clutch and replacing few lines but I get confused by oil to gas ratio and keep trucking along.
I work for an architecture company as the IT guy some how I could rip a computer apart in a heart beat but don't know did'ally about machines.
My sled are...
1965 Chalet; I'm the second owner, and the sled has the old ice fisherman's assistant mods. Added bumper, and a raised trunk seat. it needs some tlc as she's got a dent in her belly at the gas tank and has all kinds of surface rust.
1971 Chaparral 440 Executive with a 438 Hirth; this sled is my big excitement right now, picked it up last year at the end of the season. Its all original and looks great. This is the sled I wont let anyone else touch really. This is my hot rod if you will.
1972 Elan; this is my first machine, they previous owner did an appalling job of taking care of it. All kinds of busted parts and the hood is utter trash. It runs and is way fun to take off trail in the woods so eventually it will get a new hood would be a good candidate for maybe a powerModz adding new parts approach.
Other toys...
1970 Craftsman 4 speed riding lawn mower. Ya I know I put a riding lawn mower on here but when I got it this summer (broke my foot) the first thing that went through my head was, "Is everything I own going to be old?"
Last but newest, 2015 Polaris 570 wheeler, green.
They all get stored in my toy box (garage) with the exception of the lawn mower which is under my deck.
I'll throw some pictures up tomorrow when I can actually be home with the sun in the sky.
