I can't answer everything but I have spent the time and money looking into it and only can tell you what I found out and was told .Not one of my NOS tunnels have a blank Vin decal on it, only the tunnel decals. I think that the manufacturer would have to file the proper paperwork with the government...

If blank vin decals were legal to "sell" , I'm sure John Deere would of offered new ones in the parts catalog/diagram along with all the other decals.

I looked into getting these decals reproduced and (In Canada + the US) both decals are Federal Safety Certification + Licensing Numbers. The only people who can legally make and issue these are companies licensed by the Federal Government and that is only IF you have all the legal lawyer and proper ...

Those decals are illegal to reproduce. It would be like making new vin # plates for cars.

One ones on the brake block is for the brake light and the onee on the throttle are for the the rev/speed limiter.

Prob is your rotor.We warped alot around here over the years.

What you have is a 80-84 Liquifire wood base , with liquidator foam and rear tank and a aftermarket seat cover.

Harley is right, the only real difference is the arms/weights

Started this a couple years ago and was always great to read up on everyone's cool finds of the year.My best find of this year was that i actually had a floor in one of my storage barns after moving skids of Nos parts,piles of used parts and sleds. Happy new Years Everyone :canada: :usa: :letitsnow: !

I do have one, send me a pm if your still interested.

im sure i have a spare one. will let you know in a day or two.

All John Deere snowmobiles are manufactured 1 year before their model year.So if you tunnel says 1975 its model year is 1976.

The oil level looks epically low. Might want to add oil to it as it has probably been sucking air already.

Don's right EH !
