| 1973 ALLEY CAT 8 HP KOHLER 305 CC 4 cycle I have this sled running & the hood & decals are finished. This sled is made up from excess factory inventory, 72 EXT seat & tank, Puma chassis etc, giving rise to it's nickname. Still looking for a nice belly pan. Only about 50 of these sleds were made. October 2001 - Now has correct windshield and seat. I'm sure going to miss that gunny sack seat cover filled with straw, and held in place with two crossed bungy cords. January 2002 - Blew the mag crank seal, motor is now rebuilt with new seals, etc. |
| 1975 TRAIL CAT 10 HP Briggs & Stratton 4 cycle motor, electric start, picked track, top speed about 18 MPH. (Not to be confused with Arctic Cat Sno Pro's) Only about 229 of these sleds made. Finished October 1991 This sled has now found a new home with Cindy & Wayne Kuster, Grand Forks, N. D. (June 13/2004) |

| 744 JLO FA Mod (purchased in 1999) This is a mod engine that came from the factory in a 1969 Panther, some time in January 1969. At the time it had a big mouth hood, twin megaphones, twin Tilley carbs with modified 372 JLO cylinders. It uses 100 over pistons & probably had milled heads from the factory, To date, there are believed to be 6 of these engines in existence. I plan to install it back into a 1969 Panther, hopefully during the summer 2009 |
