So the day went a little south for me. First the day started off on a bright note. I got a free auger..Strikemaster Lazer manual...and was like woot, time to test this out. After getting on the ice...and drilled for 10 minutes...got 1/2 of ice drilled.

Reminder #1...make sure your auger blades are sharp.

So will now have to replace the blades becuase they are so chipped...i dont think sharpening will help any.

But later in the day, i got to go fishing with a buddy. After messing 20 minutes with his house because the posts got twisted, we got the holes drilled and was ready to fish. 15 minutes we didn't see a single fish on 3 flashers. So i took out my gps and studied the map. I was ready to head outside and drill a few holes to find some fish...when the 3 month old gps fell out of my lap..and shot straight into the hole. Man those things sink fast....

Reminder #2, tie your electronics to your body or have a very very long string attached to them.

O one more reminder :), make sure before you head out...there isn't any ice build up on your power auger bit.

O Happy Holidays everyone and Merry Christmas. smile

      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.
