MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Added a Hand Auger Rack to the rear of the Smitty Sled....(Image removed from quote.)
Looks like it might be sturdy enough to carry a power auger. Looks nice.Matt
Can you post a pic of where it is attached to the sled?
Looks like conduit pipe drilled out on the bottom for some wood screws to secure it to the smitty sled. Then holders attached to the top with predrilled holes and some small bolts. Couple of rubber end caps to prevent conduit from snagging or cutting somebody if there is any sharp edges.Matt
Very Good eye Matt...Yes I used 26" lengths of 3/4" conduit and flattened in a vise a little at one end and attached to the back with 1/4x 2-1/2" lag bolts. I made a angle bracket out of 1/2" conduit and attached this to the 3/4" conduit to the top of the 2x4 using 1/4x 2" bolts and 1" x1/4 lag bolt.Also added 7/8" chair leg caps to the top of conduit.
Finally got my Smitty Sled out for a test run. What a difference!!! On the way down to the lake I almost got run over by my sled and I walked down the hill. Once I got going I had to walk behind the sled holding the rope so it wouldn't go down without me. On the ice was easy as I pulled it over the fresh snow. Up the hilll after fishing was still a chore, but nothing like when I was pulling my shanty by itself. Glad I built it this year. thanks Smitty.
Ok, dumb question here. May have been answered earlier but I couldn't find it. The guys that put wheels on, do you take them off across the snow? I like the one with the wood in the sled. It would be nice for going across the parking lot.
Mine setup for my Scout TC. I made myself some quick disconnect buckle/straps for securing to the sled and for easily removing my 8' tow rope(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
