I have a number of NOS parts from 295s and 340s pistons and jugs to abs plastic 340s unpainted hoods. Some of my most
interesting NOS parts are the pre production aluminum 295s ski blanks (unfinished) made from the same tooling the metal
skis were made from at the JD 101 plant.

NOS 80 LF hood, and deep snow kit. I have the very last NOS John Deere model A hood in the world, along with the last set of NOS grills for an "A." I realize these last two things arent snowmobile related, but atleast they are DEERE!
