Re: [MBZ] Curt, Got the Schneemobiles ready?

2015-02-02 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
This machine has a cleated track, its an odd one because its an all the way 
across cleat on a '79. Most cleated tracks were 2/3 alternating by then. The 
2/3 tracks are much more stable and less likely to ice skate if you fish tail 
on ice.
Cleated tracks suck, they're heavy, rotten on ice and in powder they dig too 
much so if you don't keep on the power you sink like a stone. The early Ski-Doo 
rubber tracks are much lighter but only used a 1/4" lug so they don't do much 
in powder but are much better (though still poor) than a cleated track on ice. 
By about '73 Ski-Doo had gone to a 3/4" rubber lug track that was vastly 
superior to cleated tracks. Polaris and Arctic Cat hung on to cleats through 
about 1980 or '81 before they gave them up. All the cool kids with the muscle 
sleds convert from cleated to rubber tracks. Cleated tracks are pretty much 
banned in racing because the cleats become projectiles if the track throws 
one...

So, does that mean that you have the sort of flat rubber track on the 
Polaris? Pretty much like the track on the old Skidoo?
There were also cleated tracks available. I don't think they lasted as 
long but they sure had traction. One could pretty much go anywhere with 
those. Arctic Cat had the cleated tracks too back then.
We had a friend who had a Polaris twin - free air style with the engine 
jugs sticking up through a hole in the cowling and it had the cleated 
track. I remember him going up a steep hill in deep fresh powder and not 
even slowing down. My machine had the flatter rubber track and I would 
get stuck just about anywhere. I could not climb the hill even if I 
followed in his track.

I'd keep it as long as possible, the old ones are way more rugged than the new 
stuff although the newer stuff has better ergonomics. Even a repower is still 
cheaper than a new one too.
I need to pull mine apart in the spring and figure out why the reverse doesn't 
work good. Once I get mine figured out I'll do the same job for the neighbor. 
He says he's going to take his for a $100 service, I told him I'd do the 
service for that money. Drain his gas out, change the plug, shoot some grease

I have a system at home that is completely free of fossil fuels and has a
rating of 3 shovel-power.  It comprises three different types of manual
snow shovels, with one "horse" to operate each one of them independently.

Anywhere north of the Mason Dixon, there is always justification in the 
household budget for mechanized snow removal!  I keep thinking I’m going to 
trade in my ’69 Ariens for a new model, but it just keeps going.  The only bad 
part about it is fiddling with the chains. 24” with a Tecumseh engine.

Re: [MBZ] Curt, Got the Schneemobiles ready?

2015-02-02 Thread Curly McLain via Mercedes

Mine is 6 hp 24"  it will throw slush, but works better in snow.

I thought this snow might end up being more that last weeks "storm of 
the century"  It was running from the Mo River to PA.


You need a more powerful snowblower. I think mine was made by 
mistake, an 8hp engine on a 27" cut. Usually mine would have a 5hp. 
Its got so much oopmph it'll throw water.

Angie and I went to the store a little while ago. When I wrote the message 
below I hadn't been outside or looked at the thermometer. Its 15F and the snow 
is fluffy powder. We've got around 8 inches and its still coming down good. 
Volume is good for snowmobiling but it'd be better if it was a better kind of 
snow. I'm not going to complain though, any snow is better than none...

 Subject: [MBZ] Curt, Got the Schneemobiles ready?
   
'Nother storm sending snow your way.

We got a foot of heavy wet stuff so far.  A real heart attack snow. 
Are they predicting much for you?  They are not calling this one this 
week's storm of the century, but it looks like it could be as big or 
bigger than last week's.

MB Content:
Went up to the grocery to get chicken broth for SWMBO, who is sick, 
in the 126.  Could not get up the small hill when I left.  Backed 
down and went out the other gate with less incline.  Lousy no name 
tars on it.  But the car is not worth a set of Blizzaks.

 Evidently not.  I just drive the heap around town.   I have good tars
 on the road vehicles.


Well, then, is the hassle of getting stuck or running into something
worth good tires?

We seldom get a foot of wet heavy schnee.  99.9% of the time, the 
tars that came on the car are ok.  The roads will be cleared by 
morning, and the tars will be ok.
