The Canadian military used these snow machines back in the day, the hoods were white and they were all season as they were with bogie wheels, I seen one in northern Canada at a airfield and it had a front wheel instead of the single ski and in the summer time they used it to pull the small plains around the airport. Great machines.
150 psi is after a rebuild, any psi over 100 is good. Especially a 640, most likely a little glazed in the sleeves but it should still run like a tank.
Cool video - I'm currently working on my very own 1981 640 that I bought about a month ago, having sat for a good ten years. Got the igntion working two days ago after replacing most of the wiring, and gotta do another carburetor-cleaning as I think the floater needle is still stuck/gummed up and not allowing fuel to travel onwards

That is awesome!! What a great utility sled. Nice job again!! Keep up the fun videos.
Thanks Richard! Still have a few things I’m learning with this whole CZcams thing lol but it’s been alot of fun
Hey the headlight was flickering off & on while while you were riding it out on the trail, FYI 😲🙀😮

Those were pretty cool back in the day, they do like to go straight though ha ha
Nice find!
Thank you for this channel man
I should be thanking you for watching!
@@NewHampshireVintage you should definitely search for a snow/trail twister!
So cool. I'd love to putt around the yard or up the road on it.
Try using a wire coat hanger for fishing fuel line in and out of a gas tank. You can shape it any way you like to get the job done.

Thing looks like an early Diesel locomotive wearing Union Pacific colors.
Great new channel, best of luck to you. What are you plans come spring and summer? Cars, quads, or bikes?
Thanks Jeff! I’m thinking quads and maybe if I can find an older ford pickup or something! Either way I’ll find some old junk to work on lol
@@NewHampshireVintage well, it would NEED to be a ford if you want something that needs work!
Hey now your going to hurt my feelings 🤣🤣

It's a cowling not a hood....
Thanks
The only reason the right cylinder has more compression it’s because of the fan
Nice
