Roger bought it on Mar. 1st, 1986 with 700 miles on it for $300. Parts to keep it going came from Roger’s late brother Paul, who worked as a parts man at Langdon Implement in Langdon, ND. This machine has been enjoyed by Roger and his wife Bernice, as well as Wyatt, Wyatt’s sister, five grand kids, and many others that have enjoyed rides. Prior to the I-500 Challenge Ride, it has 3,500 miles on it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1610128991081-T3IFAM25M41I6BY2J3XH/IMG_4301.JPG The Sleds - Wyatt’s Machine: This 1973 John Deere 400 was built just for this ride by Wyatt and Roger. They chose two of the same machines to simplify repairs and the spare parts on hand during the ride. The building of this machine began in early 2020. The chassis had 850 miles on it before the rebuild. A motor with 1,700 miles on it was chosen for the power plant. Both of these 400’s are stock with the exception of more reliable carburetors and clutches, and the addition of heated hand warmers. Some modifications are in the works just for the I-500 ride to make the machines easier to work on. https://www.i-500challenge.com/theroute daily 0.75 2021-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1609881387539-DNO9BDFQX7ABVYY164XV/Map+Image.JPG The Route https://www.i-500challenge.com/the-reason daily 0.75 2021-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/5baec163-7286-46d8-9288-9ddc14f6da78/Honor+Guard.jpg The Reason - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.i-500challenge.com/registration daily 0.75 2021-10-27 https://www.i-500challenge.com/updates daily 0.75 2022-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1626123791347-IW973J1YMR7ORANTVNT1/IMG_4968.JPG Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/e9594196-bd3b-4c21-a9d4-3d8051362efd/krjb%282%29.jpg Updates - Listen to this radio interview with Roger and Wyatt, who were interviewed by Mark Askelson of KRJB radio in Ada, MN! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/ec78732d-dcb1-4adc-ab32-f5c1d0df48d2/Parts+done+at+paint.jpg Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/399b3e65-b2ed-4f6a-b791-7ab4977b5456/IMG_9501.JPEG Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/9f3466b0-1727-46a2-8b37-8e3442cd083e/IMG_6840.jpg Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1626123759659-9WSWP4K7TSXPWYO9ST8B/IMG_4964.JPG Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/bc5790ff-9c70-4f43-b658-c99a173f911a/IMG_6949.jpg Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/c9a6a30f-f411-4cf2-a07e-62536222c2f1/IMG_9503.JPEG Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1629237792474-BDAVKFH6C6BKFQJZHMNZ/239279073_215473333852886_2658456869730540099_n.jpg Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1626123348458-OR8OBGFXGMG8FY8FQWLV/IMG_4962.JPG Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/2597f405-3b5f-492a-a7c3-409491cd49bb/IMG_9511.JPEG Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1f68f39d-df51-478e-b27a-3af74d3c2769/IMG_9515.JPEG Updates - Make it stand out Left to Right: Ivan, Wyatt, Roger, Jack, Howard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/7839a495-16e2-4d98-8732-2bb06c08cebf/IMG_7701.jpg Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/1630611353149-8GYV5OIWLN54DITIXON2/Parts+from+Brock+and+Ben.jpg Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff338d066132f51dedf7b93/3fb5ef41-5aac-481a-9c5f-b3348254b17c/IMG_7718.jpg Updates - We made it!
