First year Jag was 75.
It was powered by a FA Kawwy ie Spitfire engine. Same as the Drifter FA's.

75 and 76 both had the silver decals. But the 75 seat is way over the top.

Looks like a KingKat seat only 4 years later.

I would love to have a 75 JAG but they are very hard to find.


I remember a seat selling on ebay several years back for $400.00!!!!!!!

75 was also the first year for the Pantera also. Again many do not know this. :doh:
It was a beautiful sled too. Orange piped brown seat. Orange graphics on a brown hood,(similar to the VIP Panther the year before).

But the engines were the weak spot. The 340 was way under powered, the 440 ok but they shared the same issues with the previous years T-1's.

When Deere got the T-l's all the bugs were gone. :clap:

1975 was the third bad snow year and there was huge carryover in the pipeline so very few 75 models were built. Hence their rarity today.

I had a '79 or '80 F/A Jag 3000. was not mint. It ran like a champ on the stand in the garage, but made me walk home everytime I rode it away from the garage. Paul this might be what you and I had talked about on the phone about at one point. It screamed in the snow, just never sure for how long. It might die in 5 seconds or 5 minutes....was very frustrating! sold it for $75.
