I think these things are finally showing up again after how many years. My dad and I found a Super Brute sitting in a junkyard and he said hes never seen one before in his life, we take it home and suddenly another Super Brute turned up with exactly every part we needed to complete a restoration. Pretty cool old machines.
We owned two Alouette in the 60's. First was a mid 60's with a 290 Sachs, looked like the one first in the video and the second was round a 70's model with a 340 Sachs 340. There were not a lot of Alouettes in our area, I have not seen one in 40 years.
My uncle sold Alouette snowmobiles in the 70’s and my first sled was a 340 Eliminator then I traded it in for a 440 Super Brute . Both were decent sleds and the Super Brute was pretty fast considering how heavy it was . I’d love to find another Super Brut but they are really hard to find now .
I had a 76' Alouette 440 L/C Super Brute and a 76' Aloutte 250 L/C Super Brute. My uncle ran an Esso gas station in EMO Ont. Canada and had the Alouette dealership there also. The sleds were built in Canada till 75' then Rupp snowmobiles bought them out and thats why the 76' and 77's are so rare.The Rupps were called Rupp Magnums in 440,340 and 250s. I spanked a lot of the old hp sleds with those things. 88 hp and only 360 lbs.....do the math. No speedo (tach only) shorty aluminum skis and lightweight tunnel,43" stance,one seater,lift off lightweigt hood/fiberglass belly,no windshield, very high compression The alouette Super Brutes were made for one thing.....Winning! you can get info and some good pictures on incredible restoration here.
I had a 1975 Sno Brute, I think it was called, back in 1990. Thing was cherry but we had no snow up here that winter and I never got a chance to ride it so it got sold.
