My son picked up this '71 440 this week, looks to be all original except for the skis which may be Nordic. The seat is is even original.

dadoo..."trail permit".... "what you talkin about willis" ha ha. Nope no permit, registration etc, Olyman... No trap line for me. I did that for a few years as a young teen as my dad was kinda into it when he had time, it got very active on the line in later years. The pics are about the end of my fur trapping. Soon after that I was a high school drop out and went to be a ruff and tumble roughneck in the oilfield. Then marriage and 4 daughters, now 9 grand kids and 1 great grand. My life was busy, have been in the oilfield ever since. The last 30 years as a oilfield consultant, not the same crazy physical life. My days out there are near the end, but not going back to the trap line !!!

The last 30 years as a oilfield consultant Very interesting career Bones. I'm guessing North Dakota Bakken shale was not part of the conversation in the early days. I'm also guessing you were aghast, like the rest of us, at the Lac Megantic rail disaster in 2013. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lac-M%C3%A9gantic_rail_disaster

Yes joeolympic I have enjoyed my job/career, it takes in a lot of "mechanical" and "calculation" stuff which is up my alley. ( not to spend a bunch of time here on none doo, but) You are correct the Bakken shale was not really in the picture in my early days. I live ( in SE Sask) on top of the same Bakken shale as the N.D pool, I have lots to doo with the Bakken at this time. The politics like to pretend it is a ""new" find ( in the last 20 yrs), not really. There was wells in my area in the Bakken in the 60s'70s but production was low with the tecnology of the time. Horizontal drilling and HZ sand fracing have made it a "boom" Yes the Lac Megantic disaster was a terrible thing, very sad.
