Pipeman Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks for the optimistic response I greatly appreciate it ! Living 14 hours south of you can be concerning when we are wondering if it's worth making the trip. ☃️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Ahhh Faribault.....that place sure does bring back memories. Mechou party mostly, that guy Bertrand really knew how to throw them. Last I heard he's in the Anticosti, do you have any news on him JG?

themainer Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 587 was nice today for the most part. The orange shortcut trail by Mann Settlement we were first tracks since it was groomed and it froze so hard it was like riding on glare ice. Glad I had good carbides cause it was smooth and you could hook up well! Phil 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 The 587 is an awesome trail, there always seems to be lots of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing they had mountain bars for those conditions... If there weren't fresh tracks in the mud I would have guessed the sleds were left all winter after being taken by the Gaspie Sasquatch...

snowfarmer Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Glad you didn't have to walk to far in real cold weather Jean -Guy. It looks like it could be a relatively easy fix compared to some things that can happen to your machine. Looks like the joiner pins came out that clamp the tracks together. They will have you up and going in no time I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
