Frankedoo - Snowmobile World : Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I was just wondering how many others have a sled that is made up of parts from many others. Kind of like a hot rod of the sled world.

My old 91 Plus has evolved from a stock 91 521 Formula Plus to a sled we call Frankendoo.

She rides great, handles well and goes like stink.

It is a 91 chassis and engine,

98 FZ plastic/steel ski's,

92 red striped seat,

96 Mach C7 Skid with HPG's and knob adjustable limiters, Rebuilt and tweaked.

9? driven clutch. Fella told me but I forget.

93 Mach 1 bars. (has parking brake now and thumb warmers)

93 M1 brake disc and jackshaft. ( old ones keyway was worn and the 93 fit)

.2000-1 Polaris XC SP .910 staggered track . (thanks to a drunk driver sled total loss at 500 or so miles - only track survived)

Idlers from various sleds.

New style throttle cable and oil pump lever assy to run heavy doo cable.

I don't know why but I like improving it. It gives me a hot rod for the winter.

My Poo is all correct for the year, EPI clutch kit and accessories but the doo, is a custom for sure. It is mostly parts from wrecks with the exception of the original sled. It's been allot of fun modifying along the way. Toughest was the skid and making up new mounts from random parts.

It's in my blood. 69 Ford in the background was 302 auto on the column, now sports 351 W and a 4 gear.

Sorry I lost track after 96. What was the question? lol Looks great for such a huge conglomeration. ( Yes I did look that word up on spell check). lmao

Here's Frankendoo in surgery.

The surgeon is setting up the new throttle assembly.

Oddly she has only 3400 km's on it and is in great shape.

Sounds like a Johnny Cash song. It must be real fun trying to remember what year the part is that you need to order. w00t

man that is something else,,,,I once read in a mag about a sled in PA that was like that,,,,bunch of old cats put together,,,,he used to carry ammo boxes loaded with parts right on the back like saddle bags,,,,just in case. if I remember right, the exhaust came out of the hood and up like a big rig and the headlight was somthing different also,,,,

He was proud of that thing!!!

My brothers friend has a "Yamadoo". I'm not to sure the exact parts of it but its an older skidoo, probably in the late 80's and is fitted with a yamaha front suspension. Looks pretty good too and has a yellow cab with a black YamaDoo decal on the side.

I had a Frankenpoo, sold It to my sister. She has had it for 4 seasons, it's for sale now.

It has a 86-87 Indy 600 tunnel (Memory is a little foggy),a 94 XLT engine,93 storm
trailing arms/shocks and hood, 93 Xlt seat & rear suspension. But at least its all poo stuff, It didn't need much mods. to make it work. Its still a strong runner and starts on first pull.

"It is a 91, 98, 92, 96, 93..."

But seriously, it looks awesome, you did a great job putting all that together!
