Anybody ever ride one of these???

They were made in the early 70's by chrysler for the military, they didn't work too well except on hardpack like a stock yammi.....(easy, easy, boys just kiddin'). So they abandond the project and tried selling them to the general public. There is a website for them and they have lots of parts, I'll make it a rainy week project and try to get it runnin'.

I grew up on a lake that froze over evey year! I rode one of those when I was like 12-13. That was the hardest thing in the world to ride. I must have fallen off that thing over 100 times. LOL!

That right there is memories.

we have one of those in the barn. Not in as good of shape though. They are a hoot, however not a machine for those powder days.

So it's like a Snowhawk.

They are way more useful than a snowhawk. You can cut 3 acres of grass a day with that thing in summer.

My wife's Uncle had it in an old building. Somebody thought he picked it up at a farm sale for $10.00.
