Yes, parts are getting harder to find. We run a 4-71 in our fish boat and it has been a great engine. It's good on fuel (despite what many people think about the engines) and pushes our boat at a decent speed. We use a 4-1 reduction with a big wheel for the size of the boat and don't run it past 1800rpm.

I'm in Sooke, so not far from Victoria.

Kaptian Jack are you not going to the meet this Saturday in Kitchener, and have you been to either of the last two there? I'm the guy in the wheelchair.

Re: How Many Canadians?
 

No, Its a long drive to Kitchener and there are no guys around here, who are into tanks,to come along.Plus,my daughter is bringing grand children this Saturday,more fun for me...

We use to have a Link Belt yard crane with a 4-71 I believe ,seen it apart many times ! Fuel mileage wasn't a concern we were building Locomotives, Been to Sooke a couple of times ,to the Pot Holes and around to Port Renfrew ,Beautiful Land would really like to retire there,its got it all. I think about it more and more , especially after getting another winter blast today,1/2 metre drift down the driveway :(

Ancaster here....check out the SWOMTA group my buddy Shawn (Civic83) started...we are a small group located in the Brantford area...so far our big show is the Clifford truck show each July.

Re: How Many Canadians?
 

Hey Rev you know the trails at Aps Mill are not too bad for a place to run the rigs might be fun and others could bring crawlers or trail trucks. Smooth enough for most and off road areas for others. And it's free to use when weather gets better. If someone has an area we could get indoors would be best no worries of weather.

Re: How Many Canadians?
 

I'm not familiar with Aps Mill, where exactly is it? as for an indoor place to play I have connections to the Ancaster Fair and there is a building that has a fair bit of open availability....I am sure that if enough guys around here were interested we could swing a deal to each pay a set amount and have the use of the building....I tried to round up enough guys one time last year but there was not enough interest...

Re: How Many Canadians?
 

Well how many guys would be interested in getting something going before summer maybe even a few of the south of the border guys not too far away. Could be a run what you brung all is good, trucks ,crawlers ,tanks, whatever.
