Putnam Pit Premier Ride

[6X6]

Dennis didn't seem to believe in sitting down. Maybe a comment on the lack of legroom in a Max IV rear seat. Kinda like my friends BMW M3

We take to the "Open" area, (Not wide open like it used to be, but still basically a shallow pond, 4-8 feet deep in most areas, some shallows) head back up the Far stream, and make landfall on the far side. Wolf runs great. Had to back a little off full throttle after just a couple seconds as the trails are rough, and many are washed out bad.



Damage report. Found a small hole in the Wild Wolf that was drilled by previous owner that I had not previously found. My Bilge pump never kicked on so even after approx. 1 hour 45 minutes of continuous swimming I took on less than 2 inches of water. The crack repair held despite the stump I hit and the rock I hit hard (I point rock hit out on Video) on the left (Crack side). Mogman de-mounted his right front tire and it re-mounted while swimming back leaving it to weigh in at about 50lbs. We were a little nervous that he slipped on the left side in reverse, forward drive and tranny braking are fine though, so??? Hopefully no serious T-20 issues. It was just adjusted though, and it suddenly started when we were turning back on the far side to head home. Both engines ran perfectly. I am impressed what a 295 can do in a machine the size of the Wolf, so I am looking forward to the 380 single.

That's a nice playground you have there. Looks like a lot of fun. How did Mogman get off the stump?

George; It's actually a grass tuft, but they're like stumps. I stopped recording to go help him but he got off it a few seconds after I did so.

Well, I may not have the Wolf now for the Rodeo, I went for a short ride this afternoon, and lost forward in the right side, in the Pit of course! Goes into reverse but popped out a couple times. Shifter travels all the way forward, and NOTHING I can just hear the tips of the teeth touching, I know it's the shifter pin, I just gotta see if we can weld it up and grind it to spec tomorrow cause it'll take too long to get a new one, and might as well do the right too, can't be too far away from going. Wish me luck! I just can't catch a break with this thing!

[George]

I might have a spare. I can email you tonight. You should probably split the T-20 open either way to get the old pin out.
