@@nicks5669 I reckon that ol' Derek has done a bit more than just ride snowmobiles over farmland over the years. Don't forget that he has a video on getting a combine back up and running. :)
Back when I was 10 years old my Dad bought a brand new El Tigre' and man o man was he the cock of the block! I remember us driving it to the grocery store shortly after he got it because we got snowed in, but anyway we came out of the store and there was a crowd of people around his machine (small town farmers get excited about the little things) all I remember thinking was how awesome it was to have the big dawg draw at the grocery store. The old man fired her up and everyone standing around got all excited and my Dad didn't disappoint the old boys. He told me to hang on tight and he tore out of there snow flying in all directions and I'm pretty sure I still had a grin on my face when I went to bed that night. So, my vote is to definitely have a follow up with the old girl. I'd love to see her purring again!
Agreed. Would love to see that fire up with a new spark-making machine bolted onto it. I'll bet that was the only problem with it and they didn't know how to fix it.
They were very popular up here in Canada but many did forget they were ‘fa’s’ aka free air which meant you don’t run them slow or lugging..they are meant to be out on the lake and a couple of ticks from take-off. Run Em slow and kill em dead. Guys often used a cooler plug and/or richer fuel which of course ultimately ended in a foiled plug and often dead coils. It’s a whole chain type thing what goes wrong. Keep an eye on those temp gauges. 😉 purrrr kitty purrrr. We had a panther, a cheetah and finally a Tigre` then many other brands...winter loooong in Canada.
I'd like to see you try to get the Artic Cat running. There is just something about when you get one of those old left for dead machines running again. Seems like the right thing to do.
I’ve been watching this channel and mn millennial farmer for almost a year now. Not gonna lie, I didn’t see this collaboration coming, but I’m really excited that you guys did it. Thanks!
I laughed out loud the moment he said that... hmm, let’s wait for the next clip of BOTH the old farts dragging just one up the ramp.... *five seconds later *... yup 😂
Please do bring that arctic kitty back around. You said it was the fastest thing out there for a few years so nostalgia value alone is worth the case of barley pops it’ll take to get through the job.
yes, get the el tigre running. spent lots of time wrenching on old sleds like that in late teens/early 20's. We'd open bottom door on wood stove to get it cooking in shop at farm so we could work on it, why keeping the milwakee best cold. Group had an el tigre, several skidoos, a yamahammer, and a polaris or 2. Thanks for sharing this, brings back some good old memories
When I was younger I used to get mad and throw wrenches and kick fenders. This channel has tought me to just deal with whatever happens. Thank you Derek. You are a hell of a guy.
Only if you feel it's not a waste of your time, try to get the Artic Cat going! I love a good challenge as do you! Wish the east side of the country would get more snow. Would love to get me a snowmobile or two!
@@destro420qc6 The 600 was my project too. Here is a little fun fact! The 600 cost the exact same to produce as the 700 right down to then penny. Polaris lost money on every 600 sold over the 700!
@@destro420qc6 er that Indy was the greatest Skidoo you ever bought? No biggee, I get it. We used to say, let's go ski dooing back in the day. Skidoo loves the attention anyways.
I love the shows . vice grip and the Millennial farmer are great !! was thinking about the old el tigger . I think that the best and fastest el tigger was around 73 or 75 not sure of the year ? but anyhoo it had a Kawasaki motor with 4 firing plugs. it had the 440 stickers down the hood and one headlight pokin out of the grill.. i had one and it would ripp !!! love the shows thanks for the fun and most of all the knowledge ..
@Vice Grip Garage The Arctic Cat is a 1976 model. Any Arctic Cat key from that era will work in the key switch. The brake disc being loose like it is on the jack shaft is pretty normal. I'd do a compression test before you go buying any parts.
You're the only TH-camr that I actually watch the Ads. Every other one I immediately skip, but you Derek, I watch all of them, all the way through and make sure to watch your videos until they completely end. You're the best TH-camr on the platform in my opinion buddy. When I get a notification of a new VGG video I get so happy. I feel like I know you man.
A guy sure is excited to have Dad's old onion eater back in the hanger!! Thanks for the help, Derek and Bradley!
Absolutely, was a blast 👊
You fellers would be a blast to drink big boy sodas with in any geerage!!!
Now it's time for Millenial Farmer to teach Derek the art of tillage

Can’t believe he doesn’t have any John Deere sleds
An El Tigre sequel is DEFINITELY needed.
Spanish for "yard rake" - who knew?😁
Would love to find out what she all got. Keep going with it please
Yes. A sequel is needed

Absolutely
Agreed. Would love to see that fire up with a new spark-making machine bolted onto it. I'll bet that was the only problem with it and they didn't know how to fix it.
The older and crustier the better, you got this Derek
Are you kidding me??? The king of making crusty dead things live again... A feller would definitely watch that happen!
El Tigre or bust.
Yes us Fellers up in Canada would like to see that old cat running again!
2nd to that

I second that motion.
Yep
Bleep Bloop!
I vote yes too
Yes please! Them with the decapitation windshield option are real rare. She's a keeper.
Love to see the old “free air” Arctic Cat run again!
💯
I agree!!
The old iron is the best. Better get er’ running around the farm again.
Absolutely get the Tigre on the Grass or Snow ! ❄
I’ve been watching this channel and mn millennial farmer for almost a year now. Not gonna lie, I didn’t see this collaboration coming, but I’m really excited that you guys did it. Thanks!
Ditto!! 👍👍
Me too. I love these guys!

Is a gay sure would
One of the realest youtubers out there, a guy couldn’t love it more!
Thanks
@@ViceGripGarage it's all your fault i have learned to start trying and i dig it lol
On the REAL Real! ... Really!!
I would enjoy seeing the old artic cat run again, or at least try.
Probably a bad motor.
I remember ripping across the yard as a young lady on the El Tiger 440.
A violent and exciting time
You gotta get that old cat running. They were cool machines!
Can wait for Bradley to come off with a " Help me understand !"
Second I hooked my peepers on vintage and snowmobile and I was already in here
I'd like to see that ole Eltigre run, I remember my uncle having one when I was 5-6 years old and he wrapped it around a tree
I think I can safely say we ALL want to see that old Articat run run again. Keep up the great work!
I love Derek's reaction when it starts on the 5th pull. Never doubt Derek.
All right my two favorite TH-cam channels finally getting together.
I'm waiting for one of my favorites to post a new video. Andrew Camarata..
Love old snowmobiles like these, especially the 700's.
Heck yeah we want to see the tiger run.
Yeah Derick. Get that Arctic Cat goin. It would be lots of fun for you and the family.
I loved those old Arctic Scraps so much! El Tigres were so freaking cool!!!
I'd love to see you get that Artic Cat driving again. You know it's gonna be fun.
You have such a chill personality. Like a mechanic version of Bob Ross
The dang notifications! Excited to see some more snowmobile content.
Bring her back to life, would love to see ya out and about with the family on them.
Bringing (is bringing a real word...I don't know) that old cat back would be neat. Love to see her run again.
I liked the smiles in the background when the 1st one fired up.
Just pulling that kat over brought back a lot of memories. Would love to hear it live again.
Get 'er going! Us southern boys love watching y'all snow boys fix on 'em old power sleds!
Yes bring the el tigre back please. A classic old school sled fun and fast. Thanks for sharing.
Always like to see Vintage stuff brought back. So yeah Throw some parts at the Cat!
I thought we'd be seeing the eltigre rebuilt. That'd be the right thing to do.
"We'll probably let all the young bucks do all the hard work."
Young bucks... "OK old farts. Load them sleds!"
I laughed out loud the moment he said that... hmm, let’s wait for the next clip of BOTH the old farts dragging just one up the ramp.... *five seconds later *... yup 😂
thanks for the video..and yes please lets see the EL TIGRE "THE TIGER"
Nooo...”Yard Rake”🤣

It's tough when you are the type that wants things to run. Some machines aren't worth the time, but that hasnt stopped me yet.
I would love to see you put a little more time into the artic kitty. Nothing better than seeing one of those old machines crank back to life.
A guy could really enjoy a run through with the winter kitty! I'd love to watch! Thanks.
Hey Derek, you have to do the El Tigre!, A Guy wants to see it!
Wow amazing on the 5th she fired right up! Deffintely get her sister breathing fire.
Really cool! Seeing the look on those two young feelers faces when that Polaris fired of, PRICELESS!!
Looks like a guys channel is growing fast. Damn glad to be part of it. Hit that Up button guys and gals.
I'd like to see the old Cat running Derek. Thanks for all of your content!

Absolutely get it running and let's see it!
I never expected to see these two together this is awesome
When it was started, if you’re a snowmobiler, you smelled that familiar 2 stroke smell!!
Especially with that old wynn’s oil!! Oh how I wish I could get ahold of some if that oil again.👍👍
I am a huge vice grip garage fan and a huge millennial farmer fan Best crossover ever
Yes, update us on the Artic Cat. Keep doing what you do Derrick. We are all here because we like your content.

Didn’t know this was the crossover I needed until it was sat down in front of the ol peepers.
Yeah, a fella just clicks the notifications
Love to see the Cat back to life 👍🏻
We had a lot of fun on our 70's era Artic Cats. Would be nice to see the old one come back to life...

A guy outta snaaaagg on an old Thundercat, thaaaattt’llll put some excitement between the ol walkers
Hell yeah I want to see that el Tigre roar back to life ;)
Nice! That xc is a 115 mph sled. Excellent machine in its day

"Spanish for yard rake" lol
Ohh fancy, trailing arm suspension on the front of that Polaris. Oughta be a cushy ride there!
Polaris now has swing arms on the rear like a street bike, have for about 10 years or so
Polaris had it in the early 80's the skidoo copied it later on

Pretty sure that is a 76 "the Tiger" 5000. Feel free to drop it off in my front yard on the way to your brothers off 1-94 ;0
A guy would not wanna drink a cold snack with the 51 people who’ve disliked this video.
Yes, I want to see you try and get the Actic Kitty running!
Getting the artic cat ready would be great
Kitty cats have 9 lives, so let's go find the next one in line.
Try calling arts parts in cornell wi for a coil, good chance they’ll have one
“Windshield, there’s something wrong with that too I haven’t quite figured it out...” 😂😂😂
Love the older Arctic Cats. Thanks for the vidja!
Yep more snowmobile videos are good, if you got the snow you got to put it to good use.
Bring the cat back to life!
I got the coil,for the eltigre I’ll just send the motor mines bored I trashed the sled due to bar wire fence need your address
Run it:it’s fast
Awesome, Tjay.
