Re: Snowtraveller rebuild
This base and all the other parts was aquired in a trade. Although a rebuild has been started it is all wrong so i must cut and rebuild from square one.

Snowtraveller rebuild
The first production machine was the SnowTraveller with a West Bend powerbee engine. Due to poor performance the west bend engine was recalled and replaced with a 148 jlo. The clutches were also changed at this time to the Morse Chain Powerflo Transmission. The following postings will be of my rebui...

Re: 400 restoration project

Re: ICE CLEATS ON A 444
The "u" shaped ice cleats are about 3/8" high in the center and taper to 1/4" at their ends.
