yes, this is the first time that i have ever had a snowmobile. i repair things by teaching myslef as i go. this is also the first time in my life that i have ever driven one. lucky after i got everything back in order and restored that the only thing that i need now is a seat, when the person stored it out at a farm they didn't know that the people who lived their had a dog so when he got it back the seat was all torn up from the dog, so fornow i'm using card board and some old green carpet that we had left. what was all your guys first snowmobile?

My first sled's I drove were my Mother's '72 RUPP American w/elecrtic start of course and my Father's '73 RUPP American that they purchased new. They were Awsome sleds started all the time and ran like no other, to bad my father sold them a year or so after after RUPP had folded, sure would like to have them back now. The first sled I bought were my 2 JD '72 400's both for 50 buck's.

First sled I ever rode was a Larson that came out of Min. in the late sixties, I then got a used "Hellfire" I believe it was called made at Wahoo, NE. with a JLO single cyl engine. The next was a new 73 JDX 4 and I still have it and it still goes. Mailman

They were made by a company down by Lincoln, NE. for a few years, late sixties and early seventies when it seems like everyone and his brother were into making snowmobiles. They were orange in color and had bogies, sort of wish I still had it. Mailman
