We had a great day Saturday.  Went to my folk's farm with the kids and friends to ride.  I put a new engine in my dad's 1980 Enticer (in the bed), my 1980 Enticer (on the trailer), and I had to drop off some cabinets and pick up my brother's 1979 Enticer (which would be the second on the trailer.  My buddy shot this footage as I passed him.  Bigsmile

At the farm, my buddy shot some video of my son riding his 1972 Kitty Cat (yep- the one NOT ATGATT!), and my nephew riding his 1980.  They traded sleds partway:

Here's a "high-speed" run- me in yellow on my 1980, brother Matt on his 1979.  I got 68.5 on the GPS on the snow-covered road.  Lol


Good times!   Thumbsup

I saw that.  You get it figured out?  Do you need a new axle or just bearings?  I've seen them look like that when the races went bye-bye.

Oh no the axle is toast. The spring is twisted and i think that is what kept it from braking off completely.

 EEK!  Wow!  At least it's a relatively cheap fix.  Cheaper than a new trailer at lease.   Thumbsup
