I attended a snowmobile show in Eganville, Ontario this saturday past. Beautiful day with 76 sled on display. Best of show was a Massey Ferguson. All details of the show can be seen on thier web site "Ottawa Valley Old Sled Heads"

Snow is piling up here with another 6" falling today. I unleashed another HUS-SKI today. A 444 that I acquired about three years ago and never ran it. This one tears up the fields and howls for more snow! This is the fourth machine I have running this winter a 200-A, 44, and two 444's.

The HUS-SKI run is approaching on Feb 7th. My son and I are both bringing a friend therefore the pressure to have four running machines. With the temperature dropping to minus 25 F tonight, I'll see how those recoils do in the deep freeze.

How you doing Barrie this Mark D. from Wisconsin. I got some good news for you I've got your crankshafts machined but need to talk to you tomorrow if you have a second to give me a call. In the mean time I'm looking for a gas tank for my 444 Hus-ski, I went to clean it up last week and the pin holes in the top turned out to be a major rust out without any chance of saving. Thanks, Mark

Hi all,

Glad to hear you had a great time at the show. Heard today from someone you met at the show and he was looking for Diablo belts. Sorry to say I'm currently out but taking orders if anyone needs any.

We worked our first seat restoration tonight. Made new wood, with new composite foam and a new cover. Very happy with the results. If anyone is interested in covers, they are $160 each. Take care all.

That's great news Barrie. Just Fantastic. Now you have someone to spoil. I'll bet he will be driving a Hus Ski by the time he is 6!

Congrads Barrie

Myself i'm a Grand Pa twice and it's a lot of fun. I know that my grand kids will get a Hus-ski or Diablo when it's time.
Take care and have some fun with the little boy.
