I got it home, gave it a nice purple power bath and some high pressure rinsing. Very interesting day, once at the prior and original owners place he gave me every receipt that came with this machine, original sales receipt, tickets that hung on the handle bars and lots of replacement part tickets. I will get them scanned eventually and post them on here, there is a very thick folder to get scanned. Machine came with the original covers, 3 drive shafts with cogs, pistons, cdis, bottom crank case, stator and small odds and ends. He had the sled running once I got there, fired on one pull, choke lever broke off on him today. The prior owner has been a mechanic for John Deere since the mid 70's. He graduated from high school in 1976. His name is Ken. Here is a ton of pics, not sure whether to keep her as is and make it sound or do a complete tear down. I am liking it as it is, just gotta do a seat job on it and clean up the skis ????
