Big Reg Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 As some of you know the Dubreuilville groomer is out of duty for tire failure. I can tell you that we had confirmation that the tire was sent today and if there is no road closure or unexpected delay the tire will be here Sunday night. First thing Monday morning the crew at A & S Service will mount the tire and the groomer should be ready that night after the volunteer install it back on the unit.

Techdenis007 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Good news. I'd think it's the kind of thing you might want to have in the shop, as a spare tire, just in case. Knowing it's a week or 2 to get a replacement, can seriously hamper grooming abilities when you don't have a backup unit. Keep up the good work guys, wherever you are grooming, your efforts are greatly appreciated !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 No NEW JAMMIES Might update the helmet working on my sled now. should have it done tonight or tomorrow. Ski Yeah - I wanted to go to Novi to look for a (nother) new helmet as I hate the one that I got last yr. Doesn't come down around far enough, and leaves me with an ice cream headache if it's cold out and stuck on the trail for a while. But I wasn't even thinking sledding yet at the time and it was Sunday afternoon when I got to thinking that it might be Novi weekend. And unfortunately - it was ... So I guess I am looking at stuffing jersey gloves up in the back corners of my helmet on a cold ride again this yr. Will see what Gordy has if I get that way during business hours, but that's not too often... Maybe they make jammies for the helmet area? I have parts comming from Big John, and I fully expected them here by now, but ... So we still have 2 sleds torn apart yet. Had a rod bearing tie up on mine up in Big Bay last yr. .

skidooboy Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 tape the vents on the inside of the helmet, especially top and sides. they are like chimney's, and draw the warmth out of the lid, giving you the "brain freezes". Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
