Here the listing on Craig's list. I think he's saying that the '67 motor is in the sled, but I'm not sure? And what kind of motor would that be?

500

It should be a CCW/Kioritz 440 (436 cc). '72-'73=KEC440, '74=KEC440/5. I'm not sure what is meant by '67 as Deere was '72-'84. I'm also unsure of the difference between a KEC440 and a KEC440/5 as both are piston port.

Looks to be a Sprintfire & a Spitfire on the background as well. I'd be more interested in those myself............

I now understand the '67 thing, having looked at the ad. In '67 Boatel used Hirth, Kohler or JLO in the Ski-birds, depending on displacement. The biggest was a JLO 372cc.
