My boss bought that same sled although I don't know what year it was. He claims that he never pulled the plugs out of it, for about 12 years. Then his brother borrowed it, fouled the plugs and put new ones in. He was PO'ed.

I remember those days quite well. We would run down the street to get to the lake, the cops would chase us in their cars. We would cut off through the bush and get onto the lake (Simcoe) then sit there about 100' off shore and thumb our noses at the cops. They couldn't take their cars onto the ice so we were 'home safe', until we had to go home after a day of fishing. That was well before the days of licensing and insurance. You run through the bush once and it was a track, twice and it became a trail. It might only be the width of a sled, but it was still a trail.
Our first sled was a 1966 Arctic Cat powered by an 8 HP Kohler 4 stroke. It was all steel, painted red and had a decal of a polar bear on front.
Somehow my father and his friend got it into the living room along with the tote sled that my father welded up, and it was under the tree when we got up Christmas morning. :xmastree:

It was about 4/10of a mile up the neighbor's woods road then down a power line to go see my grandmother; it was an excursion for 8 of us to pile on to ride over to see her.

Great memories. My first new sled was also in 1966...10 hp Scorpion. Father gave it away while I was in boot camp.:confused3: He also gave away my old chevy panel truck, 63 Plymouth Valiant and the flywheel out of my HiPo 289. Either he was mad that I enlisted or thought I would be killed in Viet Nam. He never told me why.

My friend's mother sold the hood off his '69 Camaro while he was away at boot camp. Granted it was dented up after he rolled the car a couple of times, but the hood vents were still worth much more than that and the engine ran fine. I don't know if they covered it or not.

We got another 4" last night. I plowed it this morning along with the 3 other driveways I do. Out at 8:30 and back in at 10:15
My first sled was a 1973 Yamaha 433 GP.
