i know alot of them but one the comes to mine is the old massey fergusion sleds lol those were big and ugly haha so who else remembers an ugly sled of the past?

My first sled, 1968, 250CC merc, black, large rounded hood, pig of a beast!

My dad's first sled. 1971 purple Viking. You had to take the hood all the way off to get to the motor and the gas tank, you had to lift up the seat to get to it to fill.

That didn't sound like fun lol there where hundreds of snowmobile companys i wonder if anybody can remember them all i think most of the early sleds were ugly haha :D

:withstupid: danr yup that sure is one P.O.S campared to the TNT lol :D

Ah, come on, guys and gals, old sleds are awesome. They may be a tad on the funny looking side, but I could go to a vintage show and drool all day long. These are our roots. Anybody ever go to the Bronson Auction? That's a great place to get on the nostalga wagon. Sometimes I get kinda sad seeing those old, worn machines that at one time came off the showroom floor. I'd do anything to have some of my old sleds back, but the new ones sure are nice.

Jon

ever been to the joseph armand bombardier musem ? i took some pics if you look futur in the section you should find them

I'll second the Merc 250ER. I'll have a pic of one in a day or two to put up.

Imo it would be a toss up between the toad (72 Polaris Colt) and the Bolins Diablo.

There were lots of them but the first one that came to mind was the Massey Ferguson. I remember as a kid looking at my neighbor's, wondering why anyone would buy something so UGLY!
The older Mercs would get honerable mention. Oh, can't forget the Herters.

I've found a picture of a gorgeous sled for all to see and admire. :hallo2:

I'm changing my vote. Old Merc's #1, MF Ski Whiz #2

That thing is hideous!

69 Skiroule!!!!! That was the forst sled I ever drove! Thanks for the pic Dan! I always wanted to know what year it was! :p Nothing like having the engine trying to suck your crotch off :p

U wanna see ugly, check out this old "Linson" Who agrees this is the ugliest sled?? HAHAH :doh:

Hah that was good. I have a friend with a '72 Olympic 399 that does the same thing. Personal blow job machine. Lol, jk. :O:

WOW!! where did ya dig up that old fossil LOL

Linson........although I kinda like the looks of that Merc....but people also like the looks of the REV :devil:

i remember My Fathers Massey Ferguson. it was a Shanook . It didn't look that bad for the times but it was the worst thing I have ever seen in snow. Damn thing got stuck going down himm in a foot of snow.

wow fan cooled

Hell,, All the old ones were pretty,, NOT,,, but they were cool for thier day. :D
This is a 1966 Polaris Colt.

My first sled was a skidoo. 8 Horse kroler 4 stroke, rope start, wood skis, solid steel cab ( not removable ) , and i believe it had a solid rubber track. Gas tank was steel and part of the frame. Secondary clutch was a pintype....lot of worn belts. Not fast but, a great machine for trail breaking ( would not spin ).

how bout Snow Prince,Skiroule, Husky, paspartou

Presently riding a Polaris Colt 295 twin mikunis. Very fastin its day
