MFARJM Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Great pics! Where and when was the show? How can I find the dates of upcoming shows and vintage racing. It would be fun to tour to one of these! My first was a Massy Ferguson Ski Whiz. Pull rope was a cable. Pull it wrong and over the windshield you'd go!

Florida Snowman Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Great pics JG! Nice to look back. I like the new ones a whole lot better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt_bluyamaha54 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 The saying "you can't appreciate where you are unless you see where you came from" certainly applies to snowmobiling! Thanks for sharing the great pictures JG. They brought back allot of memories - unfortunately not all wonderful ones! Changing spark plugs more often than we fill up now and having the carburetor(s) in your lap made a long day. Belt life was measured in hours, fuel was 25:1 premix, and you usually had the hood open at least a few times during an afternoon trip with the family. If you were lucky, all the sleds that left came back under their own power. 'Grooming' was a guy with a doodlebug towing a drag that looked like a bedframe - and it probably was. I made lots of memories with some of those old machines but I like the modern conveniences on the new ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great pics Trailblazer! My first sled was just like the first one your father bought. Some of the old sleds were problem childs for sure, but I put 4,000 miles on a '71 Puma 440 Sachs and never had a problem. Some of the new sleds can't match that.

Florida Snowman Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I had a Sachs 125 Motocross motorcycle as a youngster. Sachs made a great engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first new sled was a 250 enticer the same year as that 340 I would say about an '82 sure brings back memories thanks for the pics trailblazer!
