Little Brother Comes Home.
 
Well Its Super Bowl Sunday and my 127's little brother the 73 came home. Just put a new battery in and fired right up. It has a .030 over piston, fresh rebuild. steering is pretty tight and the tires are all excellent. Need to figure how to put the chains on.

I think that you will enjoy that 73 a lot. I plowed 4" of snow and about 3" of ice yesterday with my 73 and it did not disappoint. I didn't have any chains to put on it, though....kind of wish I had but if it got stuck, I just picked it up and got it out. The 73 is light enough where you can do that, unlike the other cubs that followed. Enjoy!!

Thanks
 
thanks for the compliments. I got the 73 from a friend of mine. He was toying with selling it and we finally struck a deal. It was a little pricey, but its in very good shape, and the motor is already done. So I figured why not !!! I put a battery in it and was driving around with no hiccups. Good stuff. gear trans is a little to get used to. still think i like the hydro better !! But this is just in such good shape I had to have it

Man am I jealous!!! That's a great looking 73 and it looks great with it's big brother. I think I'll be looking for a 73 next. Congrats.

Jay your 73 is very nice! I'm still digging those true powers on your 127. Those 73's are getting hard to find, you've got a keeper there for sure.

Yes Lew the chains are on already haha. figured it out. The lights are yellow, well they were....One was blown out so I just put 2 new 4411's in there, BRIGHT !!!!! it drives great !!! pretty tight, starts right up and is smooth. I did notice that the spark plug has a heli coil in it......When its head gasket time I will swap the head. Fenders.....I am not sure...... I kinda like the no fender look I think...........Not sure about that yet !! I did just notice it is not charging........... Hmmm it was before.......... Have to do some trouble shooting.
