I think you are right about it being a 1977. The prefix still should be J44FF and not J44FC.

I am looking for a good quality snowmobile shop dolly. I prefer one made in the USA with pneumatic tires. Something like this http://www.durashieldcovers.com/snowmobile-shop-dolly-eagle-8010.html but I think it is to wide to work with my John Deere and other vintage snowmobiles. I don't mind paying ...

I found the VIN number and it is a 1976. Thanks for all the replies.

I know that is where it should be but there is not a plate on the right side of the tunnel. Would it be anywhere else?

I just got a Cyclone 440 and want to know where I would find the VIN number on it so I can see what year it is.
