My uncle just recieved a 1972 Rupp Yankee. He does not know much about it and neither do i. i was just wondering if anybody knew engine info, size, where to get parts and info. also it needs a drive sprocket

Here are a couple of quick links that I found on the Rupp. Other than this I know nothing about them. It looks like the second link just takes you to other pages that are selling parts, the first couple that I clicked on sent me to ebay.

Ive got a yankee,sport and an american pretty sure the yankee is a 340 the rupps had center drive and twin sprocket drives which are you looking for probably a center drive that I have no extras of these rupps are good sleds steering isnt as good as a deere but the motors are very smooth and powerful they even rev up very responsivly for an old sled

Hello
Well i like to mix green with red, i have dam near all the familly/trail rupp sleds, as for what size motor it should have a somthing like 34hp on the hood, or somthing like it, you will like this sled, and i agree the steering system sucks !
I think the tohatsu motor is a awsome little motor, light and fast,, i have most models, but my most favorite is my 71 rupp magnum 400, i race it in the fan cooled classes in the 400, 440 and have run it in 340 free air classes and done well till them mercs show up ! . They are so light , good luck !
