Love those old pics

 

Groomer,got a few here from back in the mid 60s , one has my father sister and I. He would think nothing of going into the back country 20 or  30 miles on this machine and a sleigh solo with us, always had extra  belts and spark plugs 😁. If it was a big trip, well two machines and snow shoes would do lol.

 

enjoy RR

hi 800 steve !!!

i was posting pics yesterday and looking at the woman on the 12 / 3 and the guy on the blue sled ( friend of my dad )....i was looking at their suits....ahhha...geez they had not much quality back then...

we re in 2017 and some still looking for the best boots...suits and gloves...imagine back then !!! ahahha

 

wooww ...nice pics rr !!!

i remember seeing the frame of twin track like that at the dealership next to my house back then....

i might have a memory blank....i think the gas tank was in the front end of the sled....a long tube passing thru the cab down to the frame...i might be completely wrong !!!

i forgot to say to 800 steve...changing belts and spark plugs back then were keeping sledders warm !!!

i said it before....i saw 52 spark plug in the back rest of a nordic....72-73 maybe !!!

saw your post before going to grocery...i saw a friend of mine...took time to ask him...i was nt sure....he still have the 63's ski  doo of his dad in his barn !!!

racing pic in matane....i remember going there with my oldest brother...team ski doo was there....duhamel.....ferland and desrosiers !!!

Those 3 bangers look like Hearths with Tilotsons, my first sled build I was 19. I put a 800 cc Hearth triple with a set of Tilotsons in a '76 RV. The local club patrol was after me all the time and not trying to ticket me but rather they wanted me to work for them and patrol the trails with that sled. Heh!!!! i was 19 young dumb and full of c..... never happened!
