Fun in the snow with the 502

[Pullstart 62,902]

We pulled the 502 out of storage this weekend, after quite a few pulls to prime the fuel pump and carb we ended up with a good weekend of fun.  My little brother in law and my girls had a blast in the yard and in the corn field behind the house!

Hard to tell who is having the most fun!

Few times I sure wished I had a set of chains for the tires, but all in all we all had a blast

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a Cherry Bomb, something I had laying around the garage with a tractor flap on top.  For the internals, there is a 3/4" tank spud welded on the bottom to thread onto the street el and the top is muffled a bit with the stock silencer from my '05 Honda Shadow Sprit 750 pipes.  It's not too loud, here is a cell phone video my buddy took a year ago or so.

Now that I've got the C-101 to take care of lawn duties for a while, I'd really love to give it some much needed attention next spring!

I like the sound , cherry bomb may need to be placed on my 12 hp Kolher. " If it ain't loud , why drive it"

Everyone seems to be having a good time. Are you sure that chain is heavy enough? LOL

what kind of car hood are you using. my uncles use to use a car hood from the 50's with the big round front and used for a sled till they got tired of pulling it back up the hill

82 Chevy 3/4 ton hood, I used to have a 50 ford truck hood that was great for pulling around too, I welded a hook on the outside of it to put the rope or chain through.  That rusted out and ended up in the scrap heap eventually.

Old hoods make great sleds.  Looks like y'all had a great time!  

 

WH should have made an attachment sled!

He had some visitors this weekend, cousins from TN.  Sadly they have more snow than we do, but we fired up the tractor and the old hood again for another round of fun!
