I believe it is a 292. My grandpa bought it new (back in the 70's) and never used it in one of his Arctic Cat snowmobiles, so gave it to me.

@rustysteve8545 their company is really interesting I picked up a 440 air cooled chaparral so went down the rabit hole. they liquidated in 1975 so there's a lot of new old stock engines floating around even to this day. plan on tossing the 440 in a really beat up Honda Odyssey fl250. The chaparral company was really innovative. were some of the first people to use in front suspension and used aluminum tunnels. I think that was done in 1973 looks similar to the 90s Polaris suspension. But the ifs chaparral are rare. But that go cart you and your grandpa made us a sweety. I also enjoy hearing the story about them. My dad tells me stories about when he was a kid he talked about this Eskimo snowmobile that he put a Polaris engine in. I would like to get it out of the loft at my uncle's ranch.l it's probably sat up there 40 years.

Yah, I had a bunch of other projects I was working on and when my youngest son said he really wanted to do this project, well you don't usually get a chance like that, especially when he was 19. So the other projects got put on hold for over a year and we dove in. I'll have to watch some of your other videos. We used to have 03 Marauder, all my 3 boys drove it to high school! It was my favorite car... until my Focus ST inched it out. Totally different cars though.

@ marauder is one cool car! You sir have good taste in cars and mods. Your sons are blessed to have you and vise-versa! Thanks for sharing!

Yes it does! Honda's where a little more refined, I'll give them that one:)

Yes, I’ll use the same pump and just divert the line and pump the water out.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I thought it turned out good... for being a nosiest at waterfalls.

Thanks!

Right back at you 👍👍👍

Now I got a Geo Metro

Lots of cool wagons out there, Vista Cruiser are one of the coolest.

Yes! we actually had it to a Pontiac show and our local small town car show already. Sons been driving it to work too.

Yah, I was happy with how the end of the video came out.

It's a good feeling to have it on the road! Its a rocket! We still have things we want to do to it, but that can all be done as we have time.

I'm glad you enjoyed.

I do love patina. I didn't even have to seek them out. Seems they might of out numbered the shinny ones.

I like it... maybe I'll use the Red-Green line some time! I might have to changing it some. Thanks for watching and the comment!

"Remember, We're all in this together."

@@lylejohnston4125 You made we chuckle. Good old show.😀

I remember being told... years ago, one was a 1967 and one a 1968 (I have two). I do think he had a 1969 also. I can't figure it out myself. One clue I used was the registration. It was good for 3 years back then. So working backwards from 71-74 (what is on the hood), would it be 67-70? or 68-71? 69 doesn't seem to fit using the registration math. I have the registration card from it, from 1974? as it says it expires in Feb 1977. Model P17H (17 HP Hirth). Its a bit of a mystery to me. I'm going to take a look the reg sticker on the hood again. Maybe I can see the one underneath. But maybe there is something obvious about the sled itself that dates it. I'm guessing that's what you used. Thanks for watching and the comment! Let me know what makes it a 69.

I'm thinking 1 or 2 more episodes and it will be on the road! I know my son is past ready for that time. We got the new serpentine belt on this am. The new PS pump (the other "new" one was leaking) This belt is 1/2 inch longer, as the new PS pump mounted in the correct bracket holes this time. I'm glad you tuned in!

Oooh, shakey!

Yah, I've been trying to get that figured out. I think I'm getting better at video editing and audio volumes.

I went as Father Time to a Halloween day mountain bike race, I couch the local middle school and high school kids. I wouldn't of need a fake beard... but I wore one anyway!

The red Kayak was on the Malone-SeaWings.

Yes... do it! Wire feed (MIG) is easy. It's my go to welder. I ended up buying a Miller, more $ but I do a lot of welding and its been a great unit. TIG welding takes more practice and is a bit of an art. I learned welding with a stick welder when I was about 12. I'm glade you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the compliments!!
