      Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Stuart has been doing cool stuff, undocumented, for years, and I'm finally getting it on film. We have cat videos planned for 3 more months, then cat content for summer too! Hoping to make a wide variety of automotive/outdoor-centered content with Stu, long-term, and cover many topics. Thanks for watching!!!

    Bout 22 yrs ago I used to groom the slopes of mt bachelor in central oregon. We ran the BR 400 and also the LMC 3700c..I like the arm rest steer sticks in that 275, however in all of these snowcat videos, I have yet to see a 3700c, do those even exsist anywhere anymore, or did people just not like them that much,,. I thought they were the coolest snow machine I ever saw. The cab were pretty narrow and the buddy seat definitely got you cozy with your rider if you had one..and when playboy came there for a photo shoot I was lucky enough to take miss november,1997 on the slopes grooming with me one night. And I was glad it was the 3700c I was running that night. We had a blast, it was just a bummer the summit was socked in with clouds, so I never got to take her to the tippy top, but she was one of the most absolute neatest woman you could ever meet....man I wish I could go back and take her for a ride again......in the cat fellers,,get your heads out da gutter....lol......happy cattin!!!!!!

      We’ve got a HELLMC, not sure what model, but we’ve taken it’s tiller off, put a big box on the back and use it to transport people to the top of one of our peaks. Then we put a box on our 350, which then suffered a small catastrophe. Dug out our HELLMC, which proceeded to immediately blow a planetary 🤣

    The 275 is a classic. The last ones I ran had the speed pot on the joystick and tiller wings, I loved that machine. The MP was such a huge improvement over the ME. That's really cool DV let you put the cat together at their shop and transport to the access road.

    They cane with that blade frame towards the end of the 275 run, relatively common. My resort had that identical cat. We traded it in after one season for his unreliable it was. Was a demo machine so it lived in salt on the road and the electronics did not like it. I miss those machines

    • @JustDemoIt

      The sticks are usually a punch center issue, not s huge deal with the right tools. Might have pushing gears in the hubs instead of freegroom hubs which results in lower speeds but more torque

    Most diesels with glow plugs still were designed to be a diesel, not to fill spark holes, but yes they do heat the air in the cylinder, the down fall is if u don’t wait for them to turn off and try to start the engine it ends up leaving carbon on the glow plug which can make the fail

    The crack on the door: most likely ice on the door and the passenger has kicked it off to get in, damage easily done 🙈🙈
    Spark plugs: they are to heat the diesel and air in the calendar causing a better combustion at start in cold temperatures
    Framework / hydraulics from blade: that looks to me like the framework off of a newish Prinoth Leitwolf, correct me if I’m wrong?

      Its a Br350 pushframe with cylinders and a Br350 Blade. If it was a frontline groomer or even a backup at a mom and pop resort this would be the most cost effective upgrade for the 275.
