Yes, right here in good ol' Oroville. Sure hope the snow situation improves for the Jamboree, but if it doesn't, still looks like fun.

I stop by in a red rental car Last April and met you

Hi all,
I both groom and maintain our Nordic clubs LMC 1800. I also own a 1944 weasel. Does that qualify me to be part of the gang? I live in chelan so it would be a shame for me to miss this. Unfortunately, I won't be able to trailer my weasel over to Leavenworth this year...hopefully next year, but I'll come on my to meet you folks tho.

if you need hard to find weasel parts let me know there are hundreds around hear littering the tundra. if you need good tracks
don't hold your breath there isn't much of that stuff around here I have been considering rebuilding one for summer operations just haven't got around to just what I want to do.

Oh yeah it runs well. I rebuilt the tracks on it and those Studebaker engines are real stout.
Its nolonger original as it has an aall weathercab on it and a front passenger seat. II'll post a pic or two when Ihave some time.

I really appreciate that, Don, and will keep your info handy. You guys are mighty welcoming and I look forward to meeting some of you later this month.

Hi Martin, I will bring one of the Tuckers I groomed x-c trails in OR and WA with. It is home built stuff but did a good job. I used an accumulator to keep down pressure on the setter and can adjust the pressure depending on the type and depth of snow. See you there.

Sno-Drifter..... Did you have any problems with the tracks hitting your groomer when you turned? It looks like it would come awfully close to your pontoons.

Groomer is attached to rear axle so it can not hit pontoons. Also by turning with the axle, limits scuffing the ski tracks out in a turn.

the bv 206 does have it's cool factor. after 15 years inn the national guard driving and working on them you can see it isn't my first choice. mostly for cost verses performance they are very utilitarian and make a great all surface vehicle but my pockets aren't deeper than uncle sam's

Hey irongoat, I remember your visit and thank you for the heads-up regarding the Jamboree. Also, thanks for the coolest comment. The BV206 is a "cat" of a different stripe for sure.

Thanks Don, but we've got a gas V6. I was able to find complete US and UK manuals along the way, pretty much worth their weight!

No. We have some family commitments on the same weekend that take priority. Plus, I'm thinking about spending my discretionary snowcat dollars for 2015 on the Mt. Hood event. I hope to join the Leavenworth mob again in 2016 (and I'll bring my fire pit then).

you must have some spare Kristi tracks.

Come on Don- That's on page one of the Kristi owner manual. You should only utilize the most important safety feature of the Kristi in the direst of times. Not for toasting wieners over! :yum::yum:
