Video

dood with the camera is just way off, cannot watch.. tried

That was amazing! Where is this museum?

I had few older sleds rare ones. Sold them. I just picked up 91 Indy tripple RXL. I heard Harley Davidson snowmobile as kid so I seen one on Facebook marketplace I bought run . Harley Davidson snowmobile not rare. I know who has 50 to 100 Harley Davidson sled s

There's a Snowmobile Museum in Hector MN that wasn't been open for a long time.

Watched this whole video and gained a plethora of knowledge, thank you.

Excellent show. Growing up my dad had a Husky and went to Scorpion. Had 3 1964, a 1968,1969,2 1970 and a 1971 !

Thank you so much for sharing these amazing machines and keeping them alive ❤

Interesthing to watch.

Love the stories with the sleds

Great video. Love this guy . Knows all the stories. Great place for a look and listen

That machine is sweet but making it lighter would make it a lot better and a roll bar

Wow that fella knows his history very cool thanks for sharing

Two strokes don't have cams maybe a balance shaft or better known as a counterbalance but not a camshaft

Thanks for recording and sharing this!

That MN orphans poster was pretty cool I counted 32 different Snowmobiles Manufactures on that poster.

True legend, preserving the pioneers of snowmobiling and racing. Win on Sunday sell sleds on Monday.

That trail cat I love look of it but when you open hood and see the motor you get disappointed and like why . Probably sounds like a lawnmower

this guy should do t9urs and charge a fee or accept donations.. amazing

Thanks. Old memories coming back to me.

I had a 1973 Yamaha 338 that had oil Injection on it. Thank you for the video. Very interesting. I was young in the late 60s and remember when there were many snowmobiles available from Ski whiz , to John Deere, Evenrude, and many more. We owned Rupps, Skiroules,Snowjet, as well as a few others I can’t remember the names. One had reverse I remember and was blue and red. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane hearing all these old names again.

Great video thank you

This is just so fucking awesome to see!

Love this guys passion and respect. Awesome video

FIRST SLED I RIDE WAS 1968 SNO JET 400 my dad always told me if u can start it you can ride it i started it at 12 yo for first time and keep on ridin 40 years later thanks dad

i like this man, he is a snowmobile encyclopedia!! he is a SLED DEVOTED MANIAC

I've never seen a snow mobile in person. Yet this is very important and interesting. Do they have electric yet?

I don’t miss working on and trying to find parts for all the cool vintage sleds I had, however I sure do miss looking at them and riding them. I would like to visit this museum and meet Him. One of those posters has a spot in my garage too.

I think this is just amazing. Would love to walk thru in person! Great place. Decent video.

Maybe you can get rid of all the black outs in the last 1/3 of video. Them black outs kill it and video deserves better

I like when he came to the drone motor. The camera guy was like oh drones wat. Really shows his techy age

Maybe the best video I’ve seen ever ever.

Amazing - obviously this guy knows his stuff

Green line belts on my 76 440 snowjet FA were the ticket.

Super blenzoil I know what that stuff is good way to blow up your two stroke motor lol. Also that oil is poisonis if memory serves me . And yes it smells cool . My friends father used to race two stroke bikes and did flat track stuff back in the 70's . They taught me a lot about riding and engineering .

This man is a legend and has dedicated so much of himself to his sport for us to enjoy. I would like to shake his hand some day.

Edgar Hetteen was a great guy and a friend, He was a wise man with many great comments. My favorite was, “ there’s nothing wrong with my memory, the problem is my retrieval system”.

Wow thanks for posting the history is priceless !!

You say you know snow machines.....this man sure does

I'm tearing up when I saw the trail cat ! We had one at our cabin in outing Minnesota my Dad bought it from Don Falls sports center. We had two hood's for it and the windshield that turned with the steering. One of the hoods was custom pinstriped by Dave eckels. It said Aristocat on the side. We had an opportunity to get it back some years ago at a show in Waconia. I was talking to a fella about our trailcat when a guy walked up and said I know who bought that snowmobile we never got the guy's number and you ended up disappearing that day I'd love to get that snowmobile back it was a family heirloom. I miss my Dad and that sled we grew up on

Amazing video. I never realised the amount of tech and engineering that went into a snowmobile. I'm from the uk so i have never seen one up close. They are an awsome piece of engineering.

I like how the young guy recording mostly stays silent and gives all the time in the world for the old man to tell his full story on every display. When the old man is gone, this video will remain as an important historical record documenting the fascinating history of snowmobiling and its technological development.

The drone engine shown at 35:20 was widely used in the Bensen gyrocopter. It was also used in the British "Little Nellie" gyrocopter shown in the James Bond movie "You only Live Twice."

Incredible. Sachs auger, so nifty.

i rode rupp sleds till they went out of business.

What a great piece of snowmobile history archived for the future. Fantastic stories really well told. Don't have to be a snowmobile geek to enjoy, if you just into motors this is also a must see. Really great!!

Les found two 76? El Tigre’s late 2019 that were low mileage original barn finds. One 440, one a 500. All they needed was a bath and the usual cleaning of the fuel system. He takes them to vintage rides.

Hey Tyler! That was a flash of the past that was awesome! My dad had one of the first alouette snowmobile in MN old one lunger Sachs engine way back late 60s early 70 not sure then a Arctic cats cheetah and then Yamaha 433 and then a SSR 440 oval track racer that he used as a grass drag sled and then a GPX 440 and then a 79 SRX 440 liquid cooled and did 105 mph right out of the box fun sled to ride! Then he was out for awhile then he jump in and bought one of those 4 cylinder V Max 750 and that sled was one of the most powerful sleds I drove and fast and with that center drive you could smoke anything off the line it went so straight off the line no pulling to the side from the torque! I loved all the practice grass racing got to hang out with Marv Jorgensen Polaris, Bill Renyolds Articat, Ray Kuehn Yamaha, thanks for the memories! Great video!🤔😉👍📹

Thank you Mr.Pinz!!

That Polaris X-3 is a living wet dream for me. I have been around snowmobil;es, performance outboards, even race mini bikes. I love it all.

just think.. they didn't use computers back then!
