I've left two phone messages with him. He has never called me back. Talked to another guy from Michigan that Dave made a spear for, he made it sound like he doesn't do alot of them. Maybe just a hobby, but dang there nice looking spears. Did you see the case he made for it too ??

To reiterate what I know about Dave Pawlak spears, without the reference to a specific unauthorized webpage (sorry about that), the DP spears are highly esteemed in MI. They are very high quality custom spears.

By the way Glenn57, I saw the spear you are talking about at the bait store in Wayzata this morning. They had it there for $99.00. Indeed a nice spear. It is definately a lot better than any of the commercial spears available these days.

The top spear is by the Moenings (Jim and Lee) of St. Cloud MN. It is a contemporary version of the the "turned weighted center" design which was invented and perfected by Dillo Hinnenkamp and Joe June of the the Melrose, MN area. They produced about 800 of their spears in the 40s and 50s from their blacksmith shop. The Moening spear, Kraemer spear and the "Amish" design mentioned by Glenn57 are of this type. They are considered by many to be the most accurate and best designed spear type to date.

The bottom spear is indeed by Dave Pawlak of MI.

Hopefully this OK to post. You can get the spear pictured above at Sportsman's Warehouse in Woodbury for $95. I asked Santa to get me one there. I also saw them at Long Prairie Tarp a couple years ago. I don't what that guy charges.

Right in Long Praire at the Fleet Supply you can buy that Amish spear for $88.99 (the best spear you can buy) Drop some potatoes down your hole and start stabbing the spuds and you will see why it is the best spear out there in my opinion. They also have a stainless steel spear with a wooden handle on it too! Very very nice spear!

You should be able to go to your own favorite store and if they have the right distributor they can order one for you. The distributor doesn’t have many left. frown.gif I’m waiting for them to email me their picture to make sure it’s the same spear. Wonder what material they use? They don’t frown.gif handle my spear so I can help you to get one but my dealer in MI won’t like it.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
