I will check on the cost of shipping to Saskatoon, and then you can go from there, this snowplane came from around your area

Default snow plane

There is a snowplane day in late march every year here at Moosomin . They usually get 10 -15 snowplanes zipping around .
I think the Fudge planes were made at Moosomin.

Default rear end

Brought home the complete bearing set for the diff today , installed the pinion set up with a ball bearing instead of the roller style that was on the end before.
One good thing about -25 celcius is the shrink on a bearing race , just falls into place.

This is off topic, but if you grew up in Claresholm did you by chance know my uncle, Guy Price. He was known as Blind Guy. He may have been before your time but he lived his life in Claresholm after the war. He survived the war even though having the ship he was on in the Mediteranean torpedoed and sunk. He was injured by a shotgun blast to the face and blinded (hunting accident) near Clareshom. He is buried just west of Claresholm.
Cheers,
Barry

Default for you Barry

I asked Dad about your uncle Guy. He deffinatly knew him and used to help him cross the street when hed see him waiting at a cross walk in town .
He also said he was very independant and did alot of things himself ,like shingling his house roof late into the night. Dad knew this story because Guys neihbour came buy at 11:30 pm and called up to him isnt it alittle dark to be up there only to realize what a dumb question to a blind person..Guy answerd back the dark doesnt really bother me too much .
