[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 138890, member: 217"] 175 dollars was a lot of money back then especially for people who lived up here where you only worked seasonal as well as had bigger families to support. My grandpa had 5 younger brothers who also ice fished because that is what you do when your wife kicks you out of the house because you are driving her nuts because the kids don't want to be the remote for the TV anymore. Three of them pooled their money to buy a brand new Jiffy from Eds Bait Shop. I believe this was around 85 or 86 not certain but it was in the mid 80s. It was quite a machine compared to the hand augers at the time, it is amazing how well those tecumseh's were built to last a life time of abuse. The jiffy I own has the option of the one armed bandit attachment as well as the grease zerk on the bottom. The only thing I have done to it was replace the handles with a newer type yellow rubber grips, a new clutch pack, and a new gas cap because the old metal one was leaking. oh a new spark plug every new season, as well as getting the blades sharpened as well as the pilot bit on the auger [/QUOTE]
