My dad left his old JDX4 out by the barn and it was in pretty bad shape, but I have it running(barely) right now. Just not enough time to completely fix it up.

Nice collection of vintage sleds there ^^ My buddy growing up had a JD 300, had boggy wheels only, no sliders so we would ride that thing year round. That was a fun sled.

Re: SNOWMOBILE thread!!!!
 

Lol, there's nothing more fun (or more frustrating) than a vintage sled. I definitely have a soft spot for John Deere sleds.

and a video form novembers snow storm



Top speed ive hit so far is 96 MPH. havent found a smooth enough area to go any faster.
but it handles rough bumps with 1' whoops at 88 mph fantastically. was passing cars on the highway on saturday on an ungroomed ditch trail. rough as hell. sleds a beast.

Awesome sleds so far great variety! I also a have a Polaris 440 1992 i think.. But my next sled sled i really want a polaris iqrr 600 ohh my god its perfect...yet so far away hah
Heres my buddies 1985 ski-doo safari 377 we bought our sleds in a package deal about 5 years ago

Re: SNOWMOBILE thread!!!!
 

Wow, That's a nice sled! Ive got a friend who has one very similar to that, and MAN are they fast!:eek:

Thanks man.

Yeah, fast as shit. And it's not just the speed, it's how fast they accelerate. When I was passing cars on the highway, I had to stop for a cross road. One car passed me (he was going 60mph) and I caught him and passed him within probably 6 seconds at most. Really rips the arms outta the sockets if you aren't careful lol.

Yea awesome sled! This topic is why i will never dump shit loads of money in my truck..I want to many toys!

Re: SNOWMOBILE thread!!!!
 

haha yep. I could of done long travel ranger with a 302 for the amount i spent on the sled. but, sled is way more fun.

it actually cost more than my ranger lol

Re: SNOWMOBILE thread!!!!
 

I know what you mean, I'm the same way... :)

They ain't cheap. Thats why I've never had anything other than vintage sleds. You need to have 3 or 4 of 'em, that way at least one should be running! :banghead:

I've got a 1999 440 sno pro with a 1999 zr 700 motor in it, clutched and geared, rebuild 300 miles ago, I think 5 inch risers. It's a really fun sled. Supposed to be 450lbs but I think 465ish with the 700 in it. I also got a 1976 cheetah 5000, don't have any pictures of it though.

Re: SNOWMOBILE thread!!!!
 

yeah my old ride was a 1983 motoski. 340 fan i believe it was. still have it, and it still fires up, but its so beat up. two seasons ago i was in some deep stuff with it (well, deep for that sled) and she started throwing sparks. not sure from where, but the underside of the hood is all black, and there were flames at one point shooting out of the hood louvers. was interesting to say the least lmao.

wanted something more reliable i could count on to get me home after a 200 mile ride, and i wanted something that wouldnt get stuck in 2 foot of snow. so i got my beast, and been loving every second of it. even though it still only has 250 miles on it. still brand new.

What the hell are those things!?!? Whats that white stuff??? Lol
