This particular area falls into 3 different regional categories. I am just hoping to kick up a flag for the search feature. I have tried to check old posts for this area and found them in the Remer,Longville and Brainerd If you do fish or hunt in or around this area log in. State which geographic forum you use. Hopefully the search tool will help kick out this post for others interested in info about this particular geographic area. I think we are kind of the the dead zone in cell phone coverage.

I would agree that this is a specific area, Fifty Lakes included. I find posts for this area in Aitkin, Brainerd, and Remer Areas, but there are so many lakes specific to this little nugget of Minnesota that I would feel an independant forum is in line. I hunt and fish this area hard and it is near and dear to my heart grin.gif!

I've posted and viewed info in all, so I agree that another forum for these areas would be helpful. I have a cabin in Outing on Roosevelt.

Won't be making it up, but I think the annual ice fishing tourney is this weekend on Lawrence. Please post any results if someone goes. good luck

I am in Outing most weekends. I suggest we post in the Brainard lakes area for now. I will probably not fish in the contest. My permanent house is on Lawrence because of poor ice on Rossi. I plan to be out chasing the elusive walleye Sat. Anyone know how to see about getting an additional link.

I havn't heard anything about lakers. Ice has been poor this winter so not a lot of activity out there. I only had 11 and 1/2 inches where I was fishing last weekend. I would think with this cold spell the ice should be better for pulling a house out(and then off).

    • 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.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
