Opps sorry, I wasn't sure, but there are about 100 people in the town where he lives and not many have snomobiles. I would like to run down and see it but I am at school right now, and won't be going home till tday. Maybe if he still has it I'll run down there that weekend.

Hey Guys,

Not to mention that the motor isn't even a Deere engine. It was a KEC 400 piston port. Deere did use the KEC 400/22 case reed motor for 2 years in the 74-75 JDX-6, but that was the only 400cc CCW/Kioritz motor Deere used.

Yes, the seller is busted on the clutch thing, as I finally read his auction. I don't think the clutch on that motor was matched to anything powerful, as it looks like an early 70's unit.

As far has what is inside that motor, only the seller knows for sure.

Have fun guys, and remember: "The truth is out there. Sometime WAY out there!"

Im sure some of you who go on ebay alot have seen sellers take photos with the compresion gauge still in the motor to show it reading. Surely that can be tampered with also but I know If I tried to sell it with 220psi Id have a photo.
