125 Year Old Homemade Bob Sleigh Design, I Built These Years Ago For My Snowmobile.

Today I'm doing some long over due repairs and upgrades to a set of Bob sleighs I built quite a few years ago. These upgrades have been nagging at me for a while now...today I get at it and get them done. Can you believe the design I fashioned these sleighs are well over 125 years old..and in my opinion they are still the best design for hauling logs in the winter months.
Using my Lister/Petter Diesel generator I power our small Hobart 140 handler mig welder to do the repairs needed. I am also using my Makita 9005B grinder as well to clean everything up.

Just a thought, make a skis for your trailer, adapt the front of your log carrying skis so you could put trailer ball on it, hook the trailer on and you have a adaptive crane trailer on skis that can be pulled by your snowmobile, unless it’s to heavy and to wide to pull through the trails.

@cecilsshadetreegarage7408 5 месяцев назад

Hello Dan..I've been trying to think of a way I could do this, But you are right..it would be way to heavy for the light suspension and axles on my snowmobile, and it is very wide :-( But I have been looking around for a good used set of tracks for our Kubota side by side. Thanks again. You have a great day.

Good job, If you have any orange paint left you could paint those uprights and easily find them if you missplaced them. Have a good day.

@billyalexander2783 5 месяцев назад

you could spray paint each post and receiver set a different color on each corner, it would be even easier to match your post to its same colored receiver.

Hello Billy. Thanks..maybe in the summer when it warms up. Cheers!

@proslot11 5 месяцев назад

Cecil you need to put a weld on the up rights, so they do not fall all the way throw.

@cecilsshadetreegarage7408 5 месяцев назад

Hello, I thought of doing that when I first built this sleigh...but if I got a little snow or ice on the posts they would not push down all the way to get a pin in. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers!

Ya did not think off that.@@cecilsshadetreegarage7408

@jrace2718 5 месяцев назад

Hi Cecil. Love your channel. Can you explain a bit more detail of how the runners are designed? Looks like a flat steel with a rectangular tube welded lengthwise underneath. How wide/long are they? thanks!

@cecilsshadetreegarage7408 5 месяцев назад

Hello. Thank you. The runners are just an old pair of skis from an old snowmobile I stripped down for parts. Hope this helps. Cheers!
