Anyone getting a little optimistic about getting their sled out this year?

This little cooler weather has got me thinking about snowmobiling. At least a guy can dream. I think I said this last year,if it snows as much as its been raining it cold be a snowy winter. Going to get the sleds out of storage at the end of the month and shine them up. Need to install a set of ice scratchers on the new sled and should be ready to patiently wait for snow. Maybe make it to the Trestle Inn this year.

Started mine up the other day to burn out the cobwebs! Great to smell the smoke again!  My wife hates it when I do that because I come in reeking of sled smoke!  Auuu. :lol:

Im optimistic,,, We have had lots of moisture over the last few months and hope that pattern sticks around when it gets colder ,,, I will be pulling the sled out of storage later this month to prep it for another season of solo riding during the week on the NSST,,, With a quiet 4 stroke and riding solo you sure see a lot more wild life on the trails ,, Now if I could only get used to taking picture when out riding

So did you take the big R and can now ride any day of the week?  I'm still a weekender for a few more years. :(

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
