Vintage Snowmobiles and Old School Sleds 

Beautiful Sleds. Most look like new. I used to restore snowmobiles as a hobby and sell them. The degree of these restorations goes way beyond me. Mine were for people to use, not show. I knew a collector and loved to go to his storage barn and look at his collection. He sold them all a few years back. I used to buy parts from him. He worked 3 days a week at the hospital making twice what I made in two weeks. The rest of his time he bought BARN FIND sleds and restored them. Many took him several years per sled to restore. I had several of those John Deere sleds myself. I have been Novi down state. There is a Sled Museum up in the UP of Michigan that has many cool vintage snowmobiles.

My neighbors dad had a John Deere spitfire when i was growing up. It eventually blew up and got buried in the grandparents barn. His parents divorced soon after and it sat in that barn for 20 years. Last year he dug it out when he inherited the property, and started to rebuild it for his son. He called me when he got it going finally last week. What an amazing trip down memory lane that was, great old sled.

these are sleds I grew up riding. I laugh and shake my head every time I hear people with new sleds crying about how rough the trails are.

These are how snowmobiles,in my mind anyways should look like.

Great catch. I brings me back to early '70......

Larry would be so happy to have this one !

.... SUPER COOL ..! .....

For the King Kats there were three versions of this one year only model. 650 triple JLO, 793 triple Hirth, 800 four Kawasaki.

I so miss my 250 EXT!

My cousin had a chaparral. I remember trying to hold on to the rear bars. It vibrated so much that your hands were just suspended around the bar.

Did I see a Schmidt sport pack? Lots of fun in the seventies.

Museum sleds!

2:35 I thought I knew my sleds but I never heard of a King Cat.

26 or so years ago right out of high school I had 3 of the 433 Yamaha's 2 of the three would run but it wasn't always the same 2... it was crazy... 70-72 if I remember correctly .tilitlston soak your balls in gas carburetor....bogey suspension.....from Wyoming USA
