A few days ago I was out on the trail, perfect night, everything was going well then suddenly the groomer stoped turning.... Hmmm I parked the groomer and went out to investigate and saw that the Hydraulic Cylinder had unscrewed from its mount and came off.....agrrrrr.... It's late at night and I have to work early in the morning.. looked at the tool box and I don't have a big wrench to take off the bolt and the treads on the rod are in bad shape... Park the groomer the night and call for a ride. I called my friend Rejean "Big Reg" he came to pick me up and drove me back to town.
The next day I went back with our Club Vice President Farncois Gagnon, Francois is a Class A heavy Duty Mechanic, he Works for the local mine in Dubreuilville, he's very good and works fast, He keeps the groomers going. He had it fixed in no time and I was back on the road heading back to town.
I hope the rest of the season goes well and we don't have any more break downs so that he can work on the broken down groomer on the D trail, he's got allot of work to do on that one.
