IF ANYONE GETS THEIR HANDS ON AN EARLY TO MID 70'S SKIDOO TNT PLEASE PM ME BEFORE YOU SCRAP IT!!!
i can honestly say ive never seen a snow mobile except on tv lol
Oh man they're a blast. If you ever get the chance (say on a vacation or skiing or something) you need to ride one. Ever been on a Jet Ski before? It's **kind of** the same feeling.
Thats alright your are not missing much. me and the wifey both have sleds and they are fun thats for sure but they are a money pit that you can never have enough money for. and parts are very expensive
Not necessarily true, it just depends on what you have. I own a pair of vintage snowmobiles. One is a 1973 TNT 340SE, and my other one is a 1974 440. I got the 340 given to me and the only money I put into it was a new battery and a coil. It's an awesome sled, especially being how old it is, the thing has a speedo, tach & electric starter. Man, I love electric start. The 440 I bought from a guy off craigslist for $200. It's bare-bones, no tach, no speedo, only pull start, and the lighting runs off the A/C stator. No DC current on this one. Only thing I've done is replace the spark plugs. I've been driving it around on 2 year old premix and it runs like a champ. One-pull starts all the time, even after sitting all spring/summer/fall.
Actually, my landloard has a REALLY beat up '88 that he had given to him. They were having trouble with the engine, and his grandson was showing it to me. He was like "It doesn't start and it won't even turn over". I went and yanked on the pull cord once and it fired right up. All he kept saying is "HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?!" It sat for three years under a tree in the woods because some kids rolled it and just left it there.
And this is from a guy that HATES SkiDoo's...
