[@joer6248]

Keep up the good work. It's always neat when an obscure machine like this can be saved.

[@sledrelics]

Such a cool sled! Great work as always. Can't wait to see it move.

[@DaveKienert]

[@tomw9454]

What a cool machine, look forward to seeing run.

[@wildrosegarage4208]

Very nice work.

[@neilmaster785]

Cant wait to see it done.

[@Jethrosgarage]

Nice job as usual! That Wisconsin looks like a jewel now. I would not doubt that distributor is the same or similar to what was used in the John Deere upright two cylinder engines. Which use the same points at the Delco distributor on my '51 Case farm tractor, that was converted from magneto when I got it.

[@travispeters7486]

That's great info!! Do you have s photo of said distributor?

[@stevenmclaen768]

Nice job!

[@DontGetDaved]

Thanks!

[@cliftonsnider1520]

You should probably put together a set of measured drawings for that puppy in case someone wants to recreate it. 👍🏻

[@DontGetDaved]

That's a great idea!

2:30 He put wheels on it for road use

[@travispeters7486]

Yes. He offered the road wheels as an option

[@kollinspencer847]

those tires on that sled are the exact same tire my 1959 wheel horse rj59 had stock. those are some rare tires

[@DontGetDaved]

There was another weird little tractor I saw them on as well. The name eludes me.

[@kollinspencer847]

@@DontGetDaved what color was it?

[@DontGetDaved]

Here's the tractor .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2aofmqipL6clZosi=kLlPL1rTXsOvVtUh

[@gr8daddy682]

Is your machine any relation to the Hus-Ski? This was a tracked machine (looked more like a tracked lawn mower) that was hitched to the trailer that the person sat on. Super maneuverable and pretty good in any conditions…I have seen these here in Ontario but no Huskymobiles…sorry!

[@DontGetDaved]

Completely different companies and machines.
