You never seen this pic before I just took it about a hour ago.
It was a 93 Ski do 780.
He was welding and a spark went down the steering colume tube and under the engine we think.

Not to be a prick, but right click on the pic and select properties...you will see the photobucket link, hence it won't be in his gallery. duh!! And maybe his bud sent him a pic via phone.
Anyway, guess he won't have to worry about that crack anymore..

Your buddy could make a lot of money "welding" on sleds. I have a Yamaha in shop that could use his welding skills. J/K , hope he was insured, mistakes happen.

Sorry for your friends loss, and yes it does happen when you are unprepared... That is what will teach people. Actual accidents. Good luck to him. And for the few calling BS on the pics. If it is BS and someone had to post it on here to get attention so be it. It takes all of 2 seconds for someone to make a post saying sorry for your loss. And if you don't have two seconds of life to spare for bs or not then forums are probably not a good place for you to be spending time reading.

I never weld without a big bucket of water, and a fire extinguisher nearby..
Mebbe after he replaces his thousand dollar botch job, he'll spend the $10.00 and do the same.

I just got home from his place and he just put 10 gallons of gas in the tank and moved it in front of the garage when he called me. I told him I would have removed the steering collum and welded it but he was wanting to get it done. He's doesn't even know how to weld any way. Yes he should of had a something to put a fire out before he started. And go to find out he does not have insureance. He had it up by the garage door so the welder would reach when it started. If his Uncle's sled wasn't in the garage he would of pulled it inside and they would have lost more than just a sled. They hook it with the car and pulled it out into the driveway so the garage wouldnt chatch fire and just watched it burn.
