295/S
Year: 1974 Serial# JDSO 20010M
Build Date: Nov 73
Original/Restored: Restored
Your name: Jim Tradup
Location: Oakdale, MN
Owned since: 2/03
Original Dealer: John Deere Horicon
History/Number if Raced: 89
Special Comments: This was the 10th 295/S built. It was raced by Jim Dano of Nisswa, MN in the 1974 St. Paul-Winnipeg I-500 for John Deere Horicon. Dano was running in 37th place (out of 282 sleds) on the second day when he was hit by a car that wandered on to the race course and put him out of the race. The sled was taken back to Horicon and rebuilt to stock configuration; it was then raced in local races by Dano. It is currently on display at the Snowmobile Hall of Fame in St. Germain, WI. Attached photo shows 295/S in HOF Museum with top 1974 I-500 JD riders Tom Otte (9th) and John Orvis (10th).

Special Comments: Unfortunately this sled was stored outside for a number of years and was a bit neglected. All the "good parts" (aluminum skis, small tank, air box) were still on the sled, everything was original and the tunnel was very straight.

I purchased this from a person in Washington and just received it. It needs some work, but there is hope. It has all of the 295/S standard features, the slide rail cleated track and it also has a storage chest in a luggage rack mounted on the back.
