These are track tensioners at the rear wheel position. Seized with rust, we were never able to tighten the tracks. Bout to change that prob.

Suspension/spindle arms, bearings are cageless needles, junk. We're going to brass bushings.

That thing looks like it spent it's life on LOW. I always wanted one of those things but I don't have the mechanical skills that you do. Very nice!


I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

This old drive axle is early 50's dodge car stuff, 4.10 gear, open diff mounted upside down by bombardier to make the machine go forwards with the engine in backwards.

This is worn out, junk pile.

Looks like this will be an amazing project, can't wait to see the pics. Are you keeping the replacement engine secret?

I was wondering how they reversed the drivetrain - so simple!

My wife's uncle has one up on Lake Winnipeg, I should try to remember to take pictures next time I'm up there.

Some new parts.

Suspension chains. Suspension arms work in pairs, they play tug of war with a spring can. The spring can has a large compression spring inside of the can with a compression rod much like a shock rod. These chains connect the suspension arms to the spring can. It sounds terrible, but the ride is actually very nice.

these big bushings will replace the cageless neddle bearing system on the suspension arms.

There’s a bunch of them parked in various states of repair here locally. They where used for commercial fishing here on Lake Nipigon—price of whitefish used to double in winter. I haven’t seen one running in years and the worst thing for any vehicle is to just let it sit.

Are parts still available for the track system?
(I guess so was typing when your last post came out).

waited too long to start the project so we ended up blasting out in the snow, and in the dark at times. My boy and I took turns, he's been a godsend through the whole project.
