Covering all things that have motors. Not only how to do basic maintenance but also what it is like use and live with these items. From cars, snowmobiles, boats, ski lifts, and outboards. Come with me on a journey to see what it is like to own and use these products. Any questions please feel free to reach out at skinye.services@gmail.com
I have this motor to and she is indeed great... but yeah it's heavy as a sum beach that's for sure. The boat we had it on sunk with the motor on it but still after a few things it somehow runs😂. Only thing that don't work is the electric start
You mention that it is not cheep to replace a bearing, much less one of the sheaves all together. About how much do those parts cost? Are they hard to find at this point?
NIce to see someone else enjoying one of the many ontario great lakes. I got my zodiac out right before easter and have gone out on lake ontario a couple times. I'm on a secret assignment in a certain snowmaking related place in Quebec . I didnt bring it with me, but am super eager to get back on the water in a couple weeks when im back.
Just stumbled on our videos, I'm the maintenance foreman at a small ski area where we work lifts, cats, snowmobiles and whatever else they throw at us. Ive got 4 fixed grip lifts, one of which is not used anymore, and a handle tow. I started in 1989 in the retail shop for a couple winters, became a night cleaner for a couple, then 10 as a groomer before moving into the maintenance shop in 2002. Became foreman (hourly, im not management) in 2015. Lifts are a Doppelmayr double installed in 2009, a Doppelmayr triple on Yan standing steel from 2008, a Yan Base 10 double from 1981 and the1972 Hall double thats mothballed. Its only me and 2 other guys taking care of the place so we have our hands full! My channel is mostly car/autocross stuff but i do have a short video of lubing a haul rope posted.
I will have to check that out. It sounds like you keep yourself busy! I love the industry as new two days are alike. I’d love the chance to work on a Yan as I’ve ridden tons but don’t have many here in Ontario. Best of luck this summer and stay safe.
By law the evac must be fired up and checked weekly, and power off engaging the lift line monthly. We do that with our monthly brake checks but we do fire up the evac as part of our morning checks.
As a member of the industry community to the south I’d like to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Similar to your role I am responsible for all mechanical maintenance at a smaller ski hill. Finding well informed sources in the industry is becoming increasingly challenging and the info you provide on your channel is incredibly valuable.
Thank you for watching and it’s great to hear from industry folks all over. If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out and fingers crossed for a better season next year!
Your vmax. Fuel mileage issue. Have the carbs cleaned an recalibrated. Should increase to 180-220km depending on your riding speed. Had one an it was mint back in the day. Enjoy.
I know the ones as they’re the same ones I used to ride as a kid. Timberline Elliot (TE) was an Ontario manufacturer and they made a ton of Tbars through Ontario with the telescopic design. I’ve never worked on one but certainly rode a few!
New Poma chairs? Hmmm.. I could be wrong (it's been decades since a ran lifts at Mt Snow), but it looks like the base terminal is a Poma. So you would have a real Poma in phases...
Doppelmayr are absolute madlads. If you asked them to build a gondola cabin with a sound system, lasers and strobes, they would very likely do it. Haven't seen an L-shaped D-Line terminal before, though, as well as 8-packs without bubbles. I prefer bubble-less chairs, though. Sweet lift !
The service stops applies a brake on the input shaft of the gearbox while the emergency brake actuates on the bullwheel. The emergency brake will also cut power to the drive when pressed.
Every resort in southern Wisconsin closed this passed weekend except for one private club only 8 minutes away from me. Too bad I don’t have a membership.
