Thanks very much. I have over 200 miles on it now and hope to get another couple hundred on before our snow is gone. It’s a fun sled.

Actually I took a look at all your videos and you are a real painstaking and imaginative restorer. What got you into John Deere?

@2500vtg 5 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the videos. My first snowmobile was a 1976 JD 400 and I rode nothing but John Deere until 1989 having had a couple Trailfires, a Spitfire and a couple 80s era Liquifires during that time. I had to switch to Polaris in 1990 when I became a Polaris dealer. But my heart was really still with the old John Deeres. I developed a good deal of respect for the Polaris Fuji built twins during my 12 yr stint as a dealer. Guess that’s what led me to repowering some of my JDs with Polaris by mills. Plus I quite like having oil injection in longer rides.

Very cool. I grew up on a farm in Alberta and there was a John Deere and a Polaris dealer and we had Polaris until a Yamaha dealer opened up and we switched

Front suspension is the XC 10 with crc steering. Sled looks really fun! If you need sled parts, check out The Sled Parlor. He's a good friend of mine and runs a snowmobile and atv wrecking business. He's also very knowledgeable about older sleds. They ship all across Canada as well. Cheers from Alberta.

@ryanbenbow-zx2sd FYI! I did not ruin an original Liquifire to build this. I purchased an old hood, tank, front bumper, radiator and dash panel at a swap meet. I had a blown up 98 XC 700, an Indy 440 engine and combined it all to build this. I intend to put lots of miles on it as it’ll be my main rider. I do also have some totally original Deeres and I intend to keep them that way.
