My kids were up riding snowmobiles up on my friends ranch and my old 90's vintage Polaris lost a motor. I haven't torn it down yet but it feels like the rods busted. Before I tear it apart to see if it is rebuildable does anyone have a 440 or 500 Polaris air cooled motor laying around that runs ?

Helping a friend out, his 02 V10 Dodge has a nasty rod knock so I found him a replacement motor and hauled it up to his ranch today. I started getting the old one out of his truck and Dodge engineers did not make that an easy job. My poor Jeep trailer sure didn't like hauling that monster of an...

I already know I'm old and weak. The last time I tried to do push ups everything in my shoulders went snap crackle and pop. Like DAA I can hike a long ways at least until the knees start acting up..... Getting old sucks.

I have been busy fixing up Toro snowblowers. I have four of them I'm selling. All have been fixed up and work. There are two two stage blowers and two single stage units. The single stage units have new or nearly new auger blades. $150 each Thanks to the RME crew the two stagers are sold and...

It is snow blower time for me. I have six of them laying around so I pulled some out and started fixing them. I got our main Honda blower fired up without any work on my part then started on another Honda. This Honda had a blown motor so it was mostly a spare parts blower for mine. Some neighbor...

I think they are JK but I'll have to check for part numbers.

My neighbor asked us to sell a couple of Wrangler Freedom top front removable sections for him. I need to find out if he has more of the top but if he doesn't do people lose or damage these panels ? If not I doubt we will have many takers. Thoughts ?

My old jeeps (CJ8 and Commando) have large aluminum Chevy conversion radiators with stock mechanical fans. Never any overheating issues.

It's been a busy last couple of days, mulched up the corn patch, cut down and mulched up dead branches from the walnut tree, pulled up soaker hoses, picked the last of the apples, picked the beans, tomatoes, peppers, mowed the lawns, fixed a lawn mower my dad gave me, fixed a chipper shredder my...

I'll have a CJ set once I swap the ones on my Commando. The new ones are in the basement waiting on me to swap.

I went up to Murdock Basin last Friday hoping to miss some of the holiday weekend crowd. Took my Jeep and a fishing pole. I hit three of the lakes up in the basin and the fish were cooperative but I was a bit disgusted with the OHV damage in the area. The first lake I visited was Marshall lake...

I fixed up one of these kid ATV for the grandkids. I had the state folks inspect it and they created a VIN for it so now I have a title and registration for it. The kids have now outgrown it so I need to fix up a few things and sell it.

I have opened up two positions in my engineering group. I am looking for electrical engineers with FPGA design and verification experience.

My wife and kids told me yesterday afternoon that there was something making noise in the wood stove. I listened and didn't hear anything but they insisted there was something making noise in the stove. So I got a flashlight and opened up the door expecting to maybe find a wayward squirrel but...

My son told me they had it in the builders lot for a while but nobody bought it, hopefully someone can use a bunch of parts.

My daughter has an Amana refrigerator that has been running warmer than it should. Probably needs a new thermostat. It is the kind that has the freezer on the bottom of the unit.

I have a couple of D44 trac-loc carrier housings but they are just the housings without the spiders and such. They had 3.54 gears if I remember correctly. I know where some of the internals are but will have to dig to find all of them. I do have a complete open carrier in another axle but would...

It is a fun area to ride, nothing too challenging but scenic.

I took it up to Soapstone and ran a few trails ranging from 7600-9800 feet. The only time it would sputter a bit was above 9500 feet with full throttle and just shy of hitting the rev limit. Still have one more leaner jet but it worked so much better that I think I'll see what the elevation is...
