What was your intended objective when you started the build?

My Grandson to have a nice reliable sled to run in the field.

What motivated you to start your project?

7-year old Grandson

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

To get it to run, by cleaning gas tank-carb-installing new fuel lines.

What are you most proud of?

To buy something out of a Farmers Barn that sat for 12 years. Having the Grandson helping me clean this rat-mice infested sled and getting it to run nice. Then seeing my Grandson with a big grin on his face everytime he comes over and starts it, hearing it run so nice.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

They said, are you goofy for buying a piece of crap like that.
