Ifixoldjunk 778 #1 Posted March 15, 2022 Another freebie. Got me a 70s two stroke Eskimo ice fishing auger. Appears to be intact. Engine was loaded with water. But it seems clean and rust free. Hopefully it’s recent. Will be a nice wall hanger if anything 5 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,609 #3 Posted March 15, 2022 I have an older Eskimo auger with a Tecky 2 stroke. Still runs & works good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,916 #5 Posted March 15, 2022 I had to dig a quite few holes in the rocky clay last summer. I found a newer ice auger like this at a garage sale and decided I’d try it. That 2 stroke spinning big rpms will send a guy sailing when you hit a rock! I wasn’t concerned at the lack of an air filter, the task at hand was kind of a time vs money thing and I got a screamin’ deal on the auger. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,833 #9 Posted March 15, 2022 Lol what the crazies do out on the ice is ride atop them to get tossed off and possibly a ride and a bent auger. One of them hold my beer things I guess. The ride is almost required of the Hosen ain't it??? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we should let Kev off the hook for this occasion ONLY because you've clearly captured the moment to perfection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ifixoldjunk 778 #12 Posted March 16, 2022 Lol, I could see myself getting launched by that stupid thing. just got the motor free’d with a little PB blaster soak. Actually runs like a champ. Sounds like a machine gun with the little tiny exhaust teccy put on it back in the day. don’t really have a use for it so after I clean it up I’ll have to let it back into the wild. See what other projects I can find 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
