Seat can tank look like a cyclone and headlight looks out of place.

Is it real or a clone?

At the moment not sure exactly what I have. Still doing some research. Its not the right seat or headlight but tank appears to be right, you can see the line where the original seat sat because there is a fine line between it being faded and not faded. There is really not much background info on it as the guy didn't no much about it. All he would really say is he found it in a barn. He wasn't really into sleds other than he new what it was. We knew about it since last year but with him being from Illinois it was too far of a trek to get it. He happened to bring it with to sell it up here in mn at a tractor show and we made the deal happen.

I am certain what you have is a Liquidator. There is no other reason for that tunnel to be with that pan if it wasn't a j34se Liquidator. By the looks of your 295/s I am guessing your father is Jeff. He knows what's going on. Tell him Bill Tasky says hello.

Bill, yes jeff is my dad and he says hi back. We knew it was a liquidator before I bought it. It's more of the engine situation. I'll let you all know it's not a true 440 liquidator but it does have a 440 Kawasaki and you can tell it's been in there a long time. What we're trying to figure out is if it was a factory done deal or something someone put together or maybe some engineers who were playing with a unsold sled. The pan and tunnel are just about perfect and it looks like it hasn't been licensed since the early 80s. You can see where the 3 was under the 4.

I was concentrating so much on the other telltale signs to see if it was indeed a Liquidator I never even noticed the extra 4. Show us some more pictures.

Is that sled going to be at the show tomorrow? Let your Dad know that it would be good trade bait for a bumper.
