I am new the the snowmobiling world and have just bought an old Arctic Cat snowmobile. *The outside stickers say Arctic cat Panther 399. *I checked the id plate inside and all that was left was the stamped numbers, "026170 440J". *I would like to find out all I can about my new toy. *Any help would be greatly appreciated. *You can email me at : saber_jack@yahoo.com *

Thanks,
