Here's a new ride I picked up on trade yesterday....
1997 Indy Classic 500 Reverse / Electric Start & Extra 12... UP FOR SALE!!!

SnowRida · 01-28-2009, 06:32 PM

Nice sled. What you trade it for?

I'm goin to Florida on Friday morning early. We'll try and hook up in Feb. for a ride.

Trade: 62" commercial Toro Finish Mower...

The Polaris has 4300 miles on chassis, and a rebuilt top end about 800 miles ago and I've known and ridden with the rider for the last few years before she moved to GA today after her husband died.......... I had no use for the mower anymore and she needed it for her property down in Georgia and she didn't need a sled down there...lol .... I probably could have sold the mower in the summer but the sled is in good shape and I figure I could sell it before it gets to late in the sled season.... I have to say it is nice to have E-Start and Reverse. on one sled... I was hoping my dad would ride it but he's got a bad right arm and can't steer with the handlebars very easy (he tried yesterday and today), so today I talked him into a JD Gator.....LOL....

SR check in when you get back... have fun in the sun!!

Will do!

chrisfarley · 02-06-2009, 04:26 PM

nothing of any white value has come from mother nature in a long long time!! I'm kind of afraid of what mother nature is going to throw at us here in the next week....

so i got prepared and picked up one of these!

LOL.... John Deere Gator 4 X 6...drove about 6hrs one way to get a good deal on it... runs great, has automatic dump box and 2 & 4 wheel drive.... it will come in handy....... I'm running out of room in my parents barn, so I had to get something my dad could use on his property.... LOL

CHEERS!!

Nice toy Chris.
Hey you going to join us for a Beer or a ride next weekend in Pelston?

SnowRida · 02-07-2009, 09:11 AM

Nice gator there! What model year is that? Seems like that would work for me on my property up north! Might have to check that machine out when I get up there.

it's an '01 John Deere Gator TH 6x4, and has a 18hp twin Kawasaki eingine (gas)..... just had it gone threw by my mechanic and it got a "good to go" from him .... runs like a top.... top speed is 18mph!!... but will haul 1000lbs in the automatic lift dump bed.... I'm welding up a hitch for the back of it tomorrow....

drove almost to the IL/WI border to get it, but well worth the drive......

CHEERS TO CRAIGSLIST!!

cf

ps SR I have a great mechanic for sleds, quads, gators and tractors in WB if you ever need someone up there...

clodev · 02-08-2009, 05:48 PM

Chris hows the snow up there. We are heading up at the end of the week?

chrisfarley · 02-11-2009, 04:45 PM

clodev, I have to say I feel sorry for you guys and this weekends ride up in Pellston, it stinks that Mother Nature tossed us this stuff!!

well i don't think I Have to tell ya.. THE SNOW SUKKKKSSS!!
Ya know I was going to take a picture of what it looks like, then I just drumed up a pic from JAN 7, of 2008 and it looked the same!!!

so this is what it looks like in West Branch 5:15pm Wednesday....

I have to ad I went from Houghton Lake to Meredith this past Saturday and it was 48 deg F!!! they had twice the amount of snow we had in WB but that was going fast just in the few hours I was over there...

even though mother nature is going to throw some cold weather at us for the next week up here.. don't know if much will be salvageable .....sukkkks...

CHEERS?
cf

ps I guess I have a JD Gator and a couple of Honda 3Wheelers ready to go!! uggghhhh

clodev · 02-11-2009, 05:28 PM

WOW!!

sweet you pulled the trigger on a new ride!! good job!! the Clodev Fleet is into the 90's now!!! LOL... Phazer 2... is that a larger chassis then the pahzer? I've seen some for sale and they look like a nice sled to have around for an extra at times.....

I was hoping we weren't going to get to my next picture this soon; however, I think Mother nature is going to make me do my tune up to the 3 wheeler this weekend!!! (yes I'm old school / vitage when it comes to ATVs!!!)

clodev · 02-11-2009, 06:49 PM

Ya,
It was cheap enough where i didn't have to hurry up and sell the Panther. I might be looking to get Pam a 4 wheeler this year so she can ride with Henry and i out in the motor sports park.
