Nice job there! Just did this on a 2042 last week! From Sophia, N.C.

i love the look of the skunk hood tnts!

Doing the same thing right now to mine decided the 16hp wasn't enough so I am swapping a 20hp twin into it

I like your video ❤❤❤❤

That's a cool old machine, thanks for sharing!

Hell yeah man good to see you back

Haven’t seen you in awhile good to be back

I have one almost just like that, but I had a hood Mines a long flight With a 16 horse I Had another Mower that had a broken transmission but a good engine and 16 horse that was in. It was bad but the one with the snap transmission had a good 14.5 Briggs & Stratton engine and I put it in a the lawn flight.

dude a household switch on your cub.... get real

What is the relay for? How do you trbl shoot it? continuity?

You went right by the northway collection. A couple are surely from my brother Andrew Taylor collection. Andy left us in 2022. He restored 7 northway . He worked at factory in 71 or so.

I have a similar mower (cub cadet AGS 2160) engines nearly the same, but the carburetor on mine is much bigger, and bolts from bottom up...damn wind storm showed up, so I'm on pause rn lol

Have you ever come across a 1982 SRX 500 V Max? That is a ghost sled since I believe Yamaha recalled all of them.

I had the same piece of junk back in the mid 70s when I was a kid that I bought and it also had a bad track and stripped spark plug hole.. got the head helicoiled at napa and the plug blew out again as soon as I started it.. Anyway they installed the helicoil backwards so I fixed that myself got it running and the track started coming apart.. Ran ok but then I found a piston was cracked and rings were broke in back cylinder and nobody carried that and I was told parts weren't available because the machine was to old even though at that point it was only about 7 yrs old .. Well threw it back together and ran it as is cracked piston fitted with Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine piston rings with missing track chunks for a few years then finally sold it to someone with an identical unit and moved on .. That junker ran damn good with Briggs lawn mower rings and was quite the talk of the farming neighborhood... Probably easy today with Internet to get any parts it needs but back then every part seemed to be obsolete.. Boy things sure have changed and this video brought back some silly memories of that machine ... Lol

make sure you put throttle to fast position so that air vayne in carb is open all the way to get accurate compression test results cast iron series of engines

Can you share the configuration of the belt on the deck please?

In 1976 I raced the Artic cat Z 250 for 1 race at the USSA east opener in Jackman Maine. We had our butts handed to us by the Merc Snow twister. My dad took the 2 Z's he bought back to the dealer because they promised it to be the fastest new sleds to race in Juinor 1 and J2. My brother and I had new Mercs the following week, as did all the other teams. Man it was great to see that 1976 Cat Z one more time at the beginning of the video. Thanks for that snippet and the rest of the memories in this video.

I have one and use it instead of my Troy Bilt 26 hp or my Snapper zero turn. I love it. Great machine. Best mower I have ever owned and in 77 years I have owned a lot. My mower model 1948 must be older than yours because it has a different seat which sits on top of a large metal gas tank. this mower is very good on gas. I had to to place a thin lap board under the back up part of the pedal It engages and runs way too fast backwards. wear steal toed boots getting off with deck down and running. I raise the deck when I get off. If you bump the reverse getting on it will run over your left foot in a second. It destroyed a steel toed boot. Its too bad the control panel is missing. The up position of the deck is for loading on trailer, It stays up if it has enough fluid. control arm locked to the left is float for mowing. I says not to mow with deck up but it helps to raise it up and down a little in high spots. Its nice to raise it up and sit it down on large stuff. it will really chop up limbs. its great for crossing gravel and mowing around coverts. The hydraulic fill is the pipe in the floor board. I bought this mower with 6 other riding mowers to resell, but I love it too much.

Found your channel and i'm enjoying it! Thats a great machine! I love the old stuff, sounds like these are quite reliable sleds. Great videos!

Dad had a Rupp 650 my older sister had a 1990 ski doo safari 377 I had a Kawasaki Drifter 440 and a 78 artic cat jag 440 my brother had a 1980 yamaha enticer 440 my uncle had a 74 chaparral ssx my cousin had a chaparral ssx and a skidoo safari with a Artic Cat 440 engine

Id take a old sled over a new sled any day because it reminds me of growing up in the late 80s early 90s

Can you please work on some other off your old snowmobiles pls😢😢😢😢😢😢😅😅😅

Can you help me my skidoo elan 250 just randomly shuts down when im driving and then it takes like 20 drags to turn it on and i have tried working on it but it doesnt help so please help me😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 love your vids❤❤❤❤

The 68 Ski-Doo would ride over deep snow. Travel right past the Cat & Polaris sleds with cleated tracks stuck. I did it alot. I liked turning around and riding past again. I modified the exhaust to dual with round lawn tractor mufflers. It sounded really good.

Keep at it you’ll get it! Nice old sled.

Grew up with these sleds

Thanks for the video Matt. Looking forward to more swap meet videos. Whole family enjoys your channel. Keep up the great work. Your knowledge on vintage sleds is impressive

Im watching again brother, got the same issue. Thankyou so much again!

your second set of test where done right the first test where done wrong here is why Carbon pile testing should ideally be performed on a fully charged battery or a battery that has been put though a Charging cycle to get it to its maximum capable Charge to obtain accurate and reliable results. Here's why: Consistent Results: Testing a fully charged battery ensures that it is in a consistent state, allowing for more accurate and reliable measurements. When a battery is fully charged, its chemical reactions are optimized, and it is in its highest energy state, which better reflects its true performance capabilities. Maximized Capacity Assessment: Carbon pile testing assesses the cranking capacity and overall health of the battery by subjecting it to a simulated load similar to what it would experience during engine starting. A fully charged battery can deliver its maximum capacity, allowing for a more thorough evaluation of its performance under load. Prevents Misinterpretation: Testing a discharged or partially charged battery can lead to inaccurate results and misinterpretation of the battery's condition. A discharged battery may not be able to deliver its full capacity, leading to underestimation of its cranking ability and overall health. Safety Considerations: Fully charging the battery before testing also reduces the risk of damaging the battery during the testing process. Testing a partially charged battery under heavy load conditions can further deplete its charge and potentially lead to irreversible damage.

How much battery tester sir

Hey matt love your channel.. Could you tell me when the next swap meet is ?? I can't find nothing online..

Um..... this awesome sound .....!!! What's un about thé Ford 8n ????

Cool. I had the pleasure of seeing Gilles and his brother racing in Peterborough several times.

Great stuff!!!

Félicitation pour ce travail

That’s great for you!

Was really excited to see this when you made the facebook post. What a sharp looking machine! Can't wait to see the movie when it comes out.

Great video , not many youtuber makes videos about cool old race sled. Keep'em coming! I dig this stuff

So excited to watch this

oh yeah contant d'avoir une new video 🤘

This turned out great

At 15, I bought a year old 1974 400FA Ski Doo, when it was warm it was a pig but when it turned cold, man it flew and embarrassed many 440cc or bigger sleds from their competition!

Nice work! Sled came out looking awesome! Would you happen to know where they got that new track from?

I knew you would get it started on the day it would

I’m liking that 69!

Great video Matt

love to see the old stuff, Glad your back for another go-round! JeffinMaine

Been waiting for a new video from you. Definitely worth the wait! Keep on posting!

Enjoy your videos very much Matt. Much respect from Northern Michigan. 😉🇺🇸
