Any more foul language it's spring break time. I changed the wording family forum friendly.
George, you're QUICK!

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  :omg: 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...  :lol:

Are we talking about a lawnmower race at a demo derby, or a lawnmower demo derby?

What are your plans for that thing? I have to say, that's one very interesting plow setup you have going on there.

I started out with a toro just like yours, but I only had an 8/32. That little 8HP engine didn't stay on there, and it didn't stay stock for long...

That's really cool. I was supposed to get some snowblower attachments for my Cub Cadets, but the guy that gave me the mowers threw them away :doh:

That would have been good for me, because it would have only been $0 invested :D


I eventually gave up on trying to find the right attachment for the front of the cubs and went and bought a John Deer walk-behind snowblower.

That thing looks awesome finished!

The problem with the ag tread reversed is that they're designed to dig down through the soft stuff and push it out of the way to keep clawing forward. With the tread reversed, it'll do the opposite and pull the muck in towards the center of the tire, lifting it up instead of digging down.

Good for doing 4WD donuts :D
