Eric,

It would be easier to quit getting stuck in the snow!
I quit drinking everynight before I go to bed.

Sorry, I forgot about updating my old post on the straps.
It has been over 1 1/2 years and they are holding up great!
There is no evidence of weathering or rips (my pinzes live outside all the time--mud, snow, rain, cow poop, etc.). I would recommend the straps.

Send me the two in your signature plus one and we have a deal.

Be careful of what you ask for!

I'll let you have all three of mine for $35000. I might even deliver!

Erik,
I haven't had any trouble with these springs. They were very stiff for a while, but have softened up just right. I got them from SAV.

john

Sorry about the hijack! Yes, you do need new springs. Mine were almost touching--I carry a lot of weight.

Miles,
You need to get your bottom strap lined straight up or it will rip out of the side. I ruined a brand new strap because I didn't have it on right.

Denis,
I wish you luck and good times! Take your time and enjoy the scenary--of course it is kind of hard to speed in a pinz!

Looking forward to the pictures.

john

Andy,
Nice looking 712. You will love it!!! Glad you got a good deal.

Have fun.

john

Scottishpinz,
That looked like a great trip!! I had to look at all the pictures. Your blog is very well put together .

Thanks for sharing.

john

Thanks Mike,
I figured that was the case. I didn't mess with it much and decided to ask for advice. The new axle won't be here untill the end of the week.

We'll run into each other one of these days! I won't be leaving NM anytime soon as we are in a pretty serious drought. I hoping for some rain ...

Glad you guys had a great time. I'm sorry I had to miss this one! Hopefully next time I will be able to join in.
There are some nice looking pinz's, except for the weird contraption that Shawn is driving .

john

Ok,
I finally had time to remove the rear broken axle on the 710. My problem is how to get the axle out of the drive housing. The repair manual doesn't say anything about removing the actual axle, so I assumed it would just pull out? I hate to take the drive housing apart unless I have to.
All you ...

Shawn turned out real nice. Like the front bumper. can't quite figure out the rear can you explain the use.

Erik,
That is a winch operated lift for deer hunting. Saves wear and tear on the back when loading plus it is a good hanger for cleaning the deer.

Shawn,
Way too nice a pinz for hunting ...
