Re: 1967 500 Comes back to Life.
What a tremendous job Randy! I love the history, the passion and the pictures. You are a perfect example of what can be done with an old Diablo by asking a lot of questions, having a great amount of common sense and willing to make an investment in a life long dream. Your father would be so proud of...

Re: Looking for relatives in Canada...
It might help if you posted names of relatives, gender and approximate ages.

It's been like - FOREVER
Hi guys and gals, The traffic on the forum has about come to a standstill. Facebook seems to be the next big social media platform to talk about our Hus Skis and Diablos. But no doubt, the forum still is a warehouse for all kinds of information on our machines. I hope that people still find it usefu...

Re: Getting a 200A going again.
That looks awesome Robert? You say "vapor" blasting? Not familiar with that. Care to explain?
Something I did to my last bead blasting of aluminum was to put clear coat on. Pictures don't do the clear coat justice but so far, I like the way it holds up.

Re: Getting a 200A going again.
All I can say is "WOW"!
I've never seen anyone go this far into fixing up one of these little JLOs.

Re: Diablo Shop 503
That's it my friends. My new 503 made out of a bunch of NOS parts. It is expected to be my new daily driver for many years to come. It was a pleasure to share the experience with you.

Re: Diablo Shop 503
Lastly, the seat! When I build a new seat, I use cabinet quality 9-ply plywood. Not treated lumber plywood. Treated plywood will warp. The 9-ply plywood always stays straight and rot is not an issue. Build the seat frame based on measurement from your original. I use stainless steel tee nuts and scr...

The back toe clips are about 1" from the ski retainer plates. . DSC07118.JPG . Install the tail light and wiring. You can...

Re: Diablo Shop 503
Starting with the skis, all my restorations get a new pair of Barrie Graham's skis. There is no doubt that the skis he makes are the best of quality and the exact reproduction of the original Diablo skis. To improve on an already great product, I add Durasurf Wear Skins to the bottom sides of the sk...

Re: Diablo Shop 503
That's it for the tractor portion. By now, you should be able to start it up and move it across the floor making room for the ski seater assembly.
