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.
Good job Cecil! and Heather!
Hello my friend. Thannk you very much. You have a great day
Good job Cecilia and Heather ❤
Hello, thank you. Cheers!
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and Heather and working on equipment
Hello Brenda. Thank you very much. Cheers!
Those 4 arms would look good , painted orange so don't get lost in the snow . Cheers all
Hello Alan. They sure would..maybe when it warms up a little, right now it would have to freeze dry ;-) lol. Thanks again. You have a great day, Cheers!
Great channel Cecil! Btw, Heather, you’re becoming a very good videographer!
Heather, you’re becoming a very good videographer!Well doneCecil!. Have a good day.
Hello, thank you very much. You have a great day as well. Cheers!
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.
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.
Always enjoy the vids on this channel Cecil - amazing that you can weld on highest setting with that diesel gennie - excellent repair on the bob sleigh - cheers and thank you 😊
Hello Ed. Thank you very much..I am glad you enjoy these videos, there should be lots more to come. I am also very impressed with the way this generator is working out..it's been a game changer for us here. Thanks..You have a great day. Cheers!
Well done, Bud 👍🏻😎
Hello Jorg. Thank you. You have a great evening.
Awesome job I can't wait to see the video of you pulling Logs with it THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Hello Joe. Thank you. You have a great day. Cheers!
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!
Looks ready to go tow behind the sled
Hello, thank you very much. We put it to the test today..it worked great. You have a great evening. Cheers!
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.
Cecil you need to put a weld on the up rights, so they do not fall all the way throw.
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
the bob sleighs bring back memories,back in the day when we lived on a farm
my dad and uncles went to pick up hay with the hay racks ,and bring hay back
for the farm animals.. jimbo
Great job 👍👍🇩🇰🇩🇰☕️☕️⛄️❄️😁
I'm picturing you as a youngster driving a snowmobile before learning to ride a bicycle! You're a natural. Thanks for the video guys. Enjoyed it.
Hello, Thanks..my love for snowmobiles does go a long ways back. I did learn to drive at a very young age, Thanks..I'm glad you enjoyed this video. You have a great day. Cheers!
That is good welding job there Cecil mine is ark welding and i have never been taught but mine is very rough
Thanks Kriss. As long as it holds what you need it to..than it's a good weld job. You have a great day. Cheers!
Hello everyone
Hello George. :-)
Paint extensions orange if any left?? Anyway good work!
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!
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!
