My father had the tnt in 1970 and our neighbor had this blizzard I was 6 and the neighbor would take me for rides and you had to be careful because I sat infront of him and if your suit got too close to those three carbs it would stall out . Good memories.
Takes me back to the 'ole days - my first sled was a 292 TNT and second was a 399 Olympic. Gotta love the bogey era. Fix or repair daily. If it got ya' to the fishhut with the beer still bungie'd to the seat...it was a good day.
We had a 775 2 cylinder Blizzard and how many times I remember leaning into a turn and my snowmobile suite getting sucked into the velocity stacks and flooding the engine.
They were cool back in the day - scary now, so tippy - side to side. An insane combination, huge engine and not very stable, but it was a cutting edge machine back in the day.
Jesus, that's a nasty bastard! I remember sleds like this from when I was a kid. Guys used to drag race 'em around this area where I grew up and now live.
I remember a "distant" lol! Neighbor had a 669 blizzard on his farm 1.5 miles away I could hear him open up that blunder buss lol! Along with everyone else too.
@@TheBergmark OK, Thanks for that explanation, I guess I never yet heard of that story. Great old times, they were pretty tough fellas to ride those old tanks as hard as they did.
That's an actual factory blizzard. I had a 640, 292, 340, and a guy named Brokenshire had a 775. My dad had a snomobile gang in the seventies. Cool time.

It's like an Elan on steroids. LOL. 👍
I can smell this video
That is bad ass and that’s where it all started two-stroke triples can’t live without them
Someone needs to make more of these compact snowmachine
That was awesome!! ROCK ON OLD SCHOOL FRIEND'S!!!!!!
Back in time, Yvon Duhamel win a lot of race with almost same sleds…
The only thing he didn't win was the
Soo i 500
No limp mode on that beastie.
Had an early 70s TNT 440 when I was growing up. It was a blast.
What a great old school beast! Would love to ride one just once!
That would be a bucket list ride!
Me too.thats the first one of them I ever seen go in person. Said he took a f7 firecat with it on the lake that day lol
@@kodiakyamaha8688 You mean he beat an F7 with that Ol Blizzard?
I almost forgot about the early triple Snowmobiles
Nice,looks like you got it running good. Skidoo🏁
Scarf eating carbs lol
I had one like that but I think it was called an Olympic
I’d be afraid it’d suck my one piece suit into those big carbs!
Yeah, I started on a sled that had one card like that, it was a bit weird at first with it sucking right near my gut

Yes it was a friend of mine who owned it.dont see them very often.had a whole ton truck bed full of old sleds that day!
amazing machine
That reminds me of the 3 cyl Kawasaki motorcycles. Remember them. The 500 and 750 H1 and h2 they were called, I think. They just screamed.
Sounds good
Sweet blizzard
640 F/A 💥💥💥💥💥
Reminds me of an old ass dude that just did a cycle of roids now he's back with some beef
Bitch watch this cleated track go
@@americanmullet6083 had rubber track conversion

Memories!
I didn't know they had 3 cylinders back on the old ones
That’s cool a/f
Need more videos!
775?
797
I wonder who the legendary racer was who raced that machine?
Yvon Duhamel.
Yvon Who?
@@TheBergmark Google him, if you have never heard of one of the greatest sled racers from back in the day.
@@Redlinesixtynine i know who he was, i remember a hat that Mike Trapp had with the text "Yvon Who"🙂
@@TheBergmark OK, Thanks for that explanation, I guess I never yet heard of that story. Great old times, they were pretty tough fellas to ride those old tanks as hard as they did.
The trail shutter downer . Put a fukn muffler on that thing for the love of god 🤣
How do you figure.its saposed to sound like that.you must drive a 4 stroke lol
It’s triple tune pipe originally….
A+
797 ?........776 ?
797 was the Hirth triple . It came in the SM moto skis and maybe a couple of others
No the hirth was a 793 not 797.
whats the motor? Rotax or Hirth or.....
Rotax
It’s actually a 775 TNT ski-doo not a blizzard
A 775 TNT had a 771cc Rotax twin cylinder engine, NOT a triple.....

@@mikeevanoski1108it’s a 640.
I had a 82 9500 plus blizzard 440 . Thing would dust anything up to 70
The old blizzards were fine machines. I had a 5500 blizzard with 503 fan cooled 😎
@@kodiakyamaha8688 wow my neighbor had a new 5500. That started me on my Blizzard path.
