Just subscribed. I'm fairly new to vintage sleds, I have two wankel arctic cats, just bought a 72 Olympic (same model as my dad's childhood sled) at the end of last season. Similar situation where I got it running and it immediately broke the drive cogs. Hoping to get it ready for the upcoming season as it ran beautifully. Whoever put it away 20 years ago did everything right.
That's awesome, and yeah, cogs are the only thing that will need attention just because they are 50 year old plastic that sees a lot of load. We have a few 73 panthers here that my dad likes. Need to make one good one out of three. 400cc.
replaced the drive cogs on my '69 ski daddler super twin 634cc a year back... same cogs as the skidoos, comes apart just like the skidoos. in other words one huge pain. but a blast to play with once you finish! nice video.
Great video , New Sub here. I have many vintage sleds myself and have rebuilt all of them at one point, Removing the track it always fun..... NOT! lol get to take the whole thing apart. I try to replace as much as I can if it is all apart any ways. ;-)
