i just bought my first bombardier jw73
- Thread starter Morin64
- Start date
Lots of good info on the forum - better get searching 
A few members have manuals, but the more info on model (see bombardier threads: JW73 is likely a 1973.... something (J5, SW48, etc)) and PICTURES, the more we can help.
Where are you located?
PS - looks like a SW48 (48 inches width?)

Welcome!! Nice machine. Looks like you have a nice forestry package. Do you do any logging with it?!!!
Hi
i live in Underhill VT, and we have lot of snow so i havent been in the wood with it yet to pull out some log. the guy i bought it form said it has grate power for just that. he was telling me that when you have a log hooked to it you need to keep off the grand becouse it can and will get caoght on a rock and you,ll do a whelly.
my kid was in the wast deep crusty snow and it did ok thank god for the plow to move the snow out of the way. the best part of this that it came with another machine for parts that i havent seen becouse of all the snow. it cost me $2500 i think i got a steal. here are the to plates i think its a crisler 251. what is the difference between a sw and a jw

If the drivetrain is as good as the body, you got a great deal!!!!!!!!!!!! You should get a great bite with those long grousers. Looks like it was made for the woods!!

The "SW" are for sidewalk, hence the 48 inch width. Most parts swap between the SW's and the J5.
You appear to have the winter (longer paddle) grousers: they turn harder than the summer grousers (and rubber grousers for on asphalt) but give it more traction in mud and snow.
PM me your email and i'll shoot you an operators manual from that era.
Do you have the side engine cover off, or is it missing? If missing, you might have cooling issues.

I do have the side cover for the engine, I just took it off for the picture. I think that I may be missing a cover of somesort under the seat. It has a broken window and because there is a hole it sucks a lot of air in the wondow and under the seat to the motor and not across the radiator. I feel this may carse some cooling issues...
Hi Morin64
I have the exact same machine with crysler flat head six. currently i am looking for an exhaust manifold. Would you know of anyone with a manifold that i could get in contact with??
Thanks Darin
Nice Bombi, love the hydralic lift on the back, that would be handy in the bush

I've seen this attachment on the front of heavy duty trucks & graders that have snow plows attached to them.

I guess people have alot of different names for it. It still does the same job.

That hydraulic cylinder and the top mount with hooks does look like part of a plow assembly from a old truck with large municipal plow!!

My J5 with the Chystler 251 runs about 190 is I get on it but its a open cab ROPS model with a lot of air flow. I had a closed cab J5 with the engine inside of the cab and it would hold 190F all the time. I heard the thermostats removed on a lot of dodge power wagons with the flat head 6 installed.
