Interesting find. I'm from OMC country and thought I had seen every Evinrude, Johnson and Snow Cruiser model ever built. I have never seen that early version of the Bobcat.
Sled is in pretty darn good condition. JLO/Rockwell engines were very popular in the upper Midwest. I’ve seen a lot of those Evinrude with twin opposed cylinders engines in the late 60’s and early 70’s. If I remember correctly they were made by Onan. Cool video. Haven’t seen one of those Bobcats in unrestored condition look that good in quite some time.
Novus plastic polish will take the scratches out of the windshield and the headlight cover. I have to say that you did a very nice instructional video on the carb rebuild.
JLO/ Rockwell engines (German made) were common in Scorpion snowmobiles until maybe the mid to late 70’s? I read they were also used by various sled manufacturers before most manufacturers folded. Great video! This is a beautiful sled and a nice addition to your collection.
Cool find ,,,,it's a good looking sled ....nice to see what ya do with it . Also , a good "tutorial" on the carb rebuild . Working on a 71 tnt 292 at the moment with a Tillotson HD...helpful.....
@@NewHampshireVintage hit harbor freight and buy a cheap one to heat up and put a bend in it. Watching you use needle nose pliers hurts my brain. You sound like you work on lots of Tilly's so you should really have the proper tools

Awesome! We wish we had one of these!!
Deffinitly a cool sled! Been watching your channel for years btw! I got a sno traveller video coming up soon!
It's a small world.I just talked with you the other day about antique sleds on marketplace.And the Bobcat sold fast !David in Wilton
Yes I remember you! And yes it was early next morning a guy came down from Bethlehem to grab it lol thanks for watching!

As I was doing some research I was surprised how many sleds had these engines! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Dan! I’m thinking on doing a more in depth video on these tillotsons and how to tune them.
Had the same sled .only thing I see missing is on the back, It had another bar you could swing down to keep the track from touching the ground
I noticed it looked like it should of used a back piece there and yes it is missing the warm up bar as I call it lol
you can physically need the line between your teeth to also warm up the line
Please get yourself the proper 90° 13 mm wrench for removing carburetors
Maybe one day.. got to use what I have 🤘🏻
