in other words....build one like YO's and Pooley's sleds.... except with an auger rack on top

Nice to see ya back Hammer.....ice will be ready soon !!!
kinda topher... but want to keep the same shape and bucket hole designs that the strikemaster has..just making it longer and instead of leaving the front open like they did ..i'd have door hinged... then find away to mount the jiffy on one side..the hand auger  and spud bar on the other..keeping the weight low so it wouldnt be tippy...gonna have to start making some saw dust.... ;) ;D

had a 10 degree temp drop in the last hour and snow is flying...from what I could see, the ponds that were locked up are now locked up with water on top....supposed to get up to 25 for a hi tomorrow....and then stay cold for a while, which is good....we need it to !

like a champ...upgraded it to Synthetic oil using Amsoil at 40:1 instead of Jiffy's 24:1 that it says to use..primer bulb 3 times, choke it and by the second pull VROOOOOMMMMMM...it's a bit of overkill with being an 85cc 3 HP

Tim the toolman says more power MORE POWER :o

  • Ice Fishing Rulez!
Had a pump drill tonight at one of our local water sourses and fishing spots and as my guys were pumping water I walked on the ice ( my firemen thought I was nuts) took a trusty ax and wacked a hole 2 foot from shore
had 3 inch's a little soft but should stiffen up this week.

Pooley give me a call .. re: sh&l stove ???
