Oh, heck.  I've been meaning to get on here and line up a meet with you.

Well, thanks for giving me the chance,  just wasn't the right time I guess.

Good luck with the rebuild.

General Discussion / Trying to look at pictures

Maybe this has been covered.  I did a few searches but couldn't find any info.
How come when I try to look at any picture they are blurry with a photobucket watermark?
How do I get rid of this?  I don't recall it being this way before.
Sorry if you've covered this already.

I saw that one.  Decent price.  I have more time and tools than cash, though. 😃  It is a lot closer to me than the white one.

Oh man, that is just what I'm looking for.  I'm going to call on that one.  All the Kijiji ads I find are expired. 
I'm in International Falls, Minnesota, across the bridge from Fort Frances, ON.  I used to work over on Lake of the Woods driving and repairing the resorts bombardiers. 
Thank you.

Any fixer uppers out there?  I'm casually looking for a bomber.  I would prefer metal with the round windows and original flathead and three speed.  I'm definitely not looking for a 35,000 dollar show winner.  I eventually want to move my fish house and trail ride with it, nothing fancy.  I check in on here occasionally.

started working at resorts on lake of the woods 14 years ago taking tourists out fishing in bombers. did that for a number of years for a couple of self sufficient resorts that did their own repairs.  i really liked the rigs and caught the bomber bug.  after the resorts i worked at a marina that repaired bombardiers in the winter and boats in the summer.  some of the projects were as simple as a new marine band radio install to as involved as 3/4 ton rear end swaps and fuel injection conversions.  one project i liked was fabricating a manual choke setup.  we punched our own tracks, rebuilt suspension drums, you name it.
  i dont own my own rig just yet, but i am pursuing a couple leads and am getting a excited at the prospect of having one.  bombardiers are difficult to come by on this side of the border.  i live in minnesota, midway between baudette and international falls.
  i just came across this site and it is one of the first i bring up every time i fire up this crappy computer i have.  my printer/scanner isnt compatible with it or i could send some pictures of one bomber i sunk in 11 feet of water one time or else some really nice scenery pics, among others.  i really like looking at bombers doing what they were meant to do even 50 or 60 years later.

i have been able to see the occasional bomber on the "Safetyone.com" site.
they have all manners of track vehicles, though too many skid steers for my interest.
