The chaparral. Kevin

my Chap

I have a 1973 ski-doo elan i was my first sled i have a z440 know.

I have a 1970 panther with the 399 kohler and walbro carb. It was my grandfathers. I was able to get it when the farm was auctioned. I was also able to get the 1 piece snow suite, the furry helment, ski mask , gloves , snowmobile cover and dolly. This is the one toy my wife NEVER complains about. I learned how to ride on it and so has both of my kids. It is in orginal great condition and runs strong. I just have to rebuild that goofy wolbro cab every year.

1973 Moto Ski Futura 440. Needs TLC.

My newest addition 1981 John Deere Spitfire My boy who is 8 will be driving her this winter. I have a total of $220 in and she runs great.

Thanks after having one i dont really want anything else i have too much fun with them.

1973 Skiroule 447 RTX

I have a 1976 Olympic that runs better than the day it did when it left the showroom, I actually prefer that on days with a groomed trail (bogie susp + long day = bad back) :banghead: . Next to it are two x '69 Oly that may run again; they only need carb work, well they need carbs :doh: . There is a 3rd 69 that needs a lot more than a carb work. I am the third generation to have these.

1980 john deere liquifire 440 restored and modded its a great sled.

1973 Arctic cat panther 340 with a fan cooled Kawasaki twin. was already "restored" when i got it but it was pretty fun. Bought it for 250 and sold for 300 around a year later. I think i had more fun in the grass with it than in the snow. Also won an empithy award basicaly at the Kasson sled and car show. Best trail sled. (only trail sled) o well i got a trophy

I roll an '80 Kawasaki 440 Invader and an '80 Arctic Cat Panther.

I'll find some pictures one of these days.

what have you done to your liquifire. got any pics

Another project sled 78 340RV

We are the proud owners of a pair...yes...2 Evinrude rotary engine 1974 TrailBlazers. My folks bought them new in Eagle River in '74.

They are in dire need of some repairs...however finding parts has proven to be a challenge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Immediately we need a replacement drive sproket (I think that's what it is...the nylon gear...one of them split and came off.)

We love these beauties...mom and dad's names are still on them..Len and Nita...that's how we refer to them. We want to keep them running...they are really such nice machines.

thanks...lynnann

i just sold mine, waaaay too cheap i might add.
definately regret it. that little 275 was awesome for blasting around the yard on one knee for a loong time :beer: definately restore it and paint it up nice, i saw mine after i sold it and the guy cleaned it up- looks awesome now.

i still have my '80 Yamaha Enticer 340 though, still ride it on occasion. runs perfect, original black paint is mint, probably has somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,500 miles on it and still runs/rides like a champ... that thing is staying around for a LONG time to come :drunk:
