If Ski-doo made a sled like this I would think about buying one, Just trying to get a little something going in the doo forum

 

 

Our first snowmobile. Pop up headlight and a cigarette lighter. It was a tank, but a very nice one for the day. I hit a solid fence post not paying attention when I was around 10 and the first thing I thought of was my dad is going to kill me. I got off the sled almost afraid to look but there wasn't a mark on it. I couldn't even tell where on the chrome bumper I made contact. 

My 1st sled was a 1970 Olympic with the 335 one lunger. The previous owner painted it black with a red stripe.

1972 Suzuki Nomad 360.

handled like it was on rails.....but had a .0000125 lug

It was either the Nomad, or drive the Bolens that had a tank-like track, but wouldn’t turn in less than 30 ft......

69?  Dad got us into the game in 1970 when he bought 2 Nordic 399s.  Very similar, just had the black vents cut into the side of the hood.

Yep, 69. My dad bought it used but it was mint. Surprisingly, compared to most sleds back in that day, the one we had hardly caused us any grief. The only thing my father regretted was the weight of the thing as we had to get him more than a few times to help us get it unstuck. My uncle lived on a farm with a few hundred acres so we had lots of areas to ride, including the fence lines where we liked to play in the drifts. This sled was not made for drifts, if you get my drift?
