Classic Sleds 3 

An abandoned property close to me had all kinds of these vintage machines. The old Polaris and Arctic Cat sleds with the rear mounted Kohler engines I really kick myself for not taking them. They also had the Hydrostatic drive Yamaha and an OMC Wide Track model with reverse The machine was a tank with its opposing twin and bogey suspension. There were so many more which got lost in my memory.

Our family is fortunate enough to own a 303 panther 72. We use it to pull the kids around with a cat cutter. Perfect combo. Greatest sounding engine.

Lots of eye candy 😎 wish all of them sled manufacturers were still around👍 Miss them Scorpions 🥲

Great video My first snowmobile was a 1975 Yamaha GPX338 i was 13 yrs old in 1980 got it for my birthday from my older brother love those times

I had a Yamaha 433 back in the day. It was Sick Fast

The day is coming where you pick up a sno twister for a case of baked beans.

I had a JD400, skidoo 340 and a panther 440. All 70s vintage.

I owned a 1974 433 GTX and it was quick. My Buddy had a 5500 Ski Doo and he never could beat me in a 600 foot race. Upset him many times. I picked it up for 300.00 and it needed a fuel tank. I patched it up and used it for a back up machine. Those sleds were really quick for their time.

That was awesome… Thank you for sharing

I worked at a shop in early 70's when we got the merc sleds....They were the fastest back then.

Man,that 78 eltigre near the end was super nice👍

What nobody talk's about,... with the Ski Whiz,... is that the hood was actually made to replicate the hood on the farm tractor's,... even with the black circle,... on the right side,... where on the tractor,... was a number to determine it's size (like the 165),... a lot of farmer's had Massy Ferguson's........

Finally some Yamaha content. 😁

First one my folks had was an early 60’s ski doo . 8 hp. That thing would go anywhere.

Love the older sleds

I raced in the late 60"s early 70's a 640 Blizzard. Wish i had it back.

my first sled. Yamaha ew643b circa 1973
