Like the Homelite chain saw, the snow machine makes a good Anchor too!

Same motor as the 440 invader but with Deere's clutches.

Just enjoy it

My service manual says it uses a centryx clutch.

Rare sled. Cool!

That is IMMACULATE CONDITION ! as you say. You are kidding Right--that was a joke I take it. Rough

Need to get rid of the skis cart wheel king

Had a 76 TX440 Great sled Did many of the same things you did Also replaced the stator Sled was a GEM, the only sled I ever regret selling

With a Mikuni and Kohler . You have a nice sled.

They were an awesome sled , then they couldn't compete with the big manufacturers. They just kept adding to the old style chassis

Interesting and entertaining! Thank you for sharing this video ‼️

I remember seeing that one on marketplace, it was a good deal. Those WF carbs are goofy, kind of a cross between a pumper and mikuni. They were used on Scorpions of the same era as well

Super cool piece of snowmobile history

The good old days when I rode sled and enjoyed the vintage stuff. Nice sled.

Never knew they made a Homelite sled...Cool.

Must have been to scary for him.

20 hp?

Looks like a Polaris charger I had

I grew up in the 1960's and we heated out 1836 Stone farmhouse with wood. We had a number of Homelight chainsaws.

Gotta love that old " Tinny " muffler sound from the older sleds.

Friend of mine has the same one. Hasn't been out of the shed probably since the mid 90s. It fricken ripped compared to my artic cat 5000

I had a 74 that I restored and sold

NICE 👍

Thanks for the video 😊

Anyone know where I can get a new track for on of these?

Excellent Video :) I remember my late dad 1969 Bombardier one had 1 cylinders 292 CC type like this one was 5 gallon fuel tank and fit 3 people on ! Windshield was Green also his was Yellow and Black colors! He sold in 1993 for $175.00 and was cool !

👍👍👊

Very nice! I had a 82 Liquifire. Regret selling it

Cool odd ball sled!

Sweet Sled!

Awesome ride! I have restored a 1970 Massey Ferguson Ski Whiz and a 1971 Sno Pony, Mach III

Beautiful machine! I have my grandparents '78 '79 trailfire 440's and looking for a new track for both? We're can a guy find some?

MY FIRST SLED WAS A 78 JOHNDEERE SPITFIRE 340 HAD LOTS OF FUN WITH IT

Sweet sled,excellent condition,thanks for posting the video.

Had a 1982 Liquifire w/850miles. Wish I would have never sold it. It was relatively quick for what it was. 440 w/twin carbs.

Wow, you’ve got 2.. awesome sled

Just when Deere really started perfecting their sleds they stopped making them.

Looks sweet! I have a 1983 sportfire sitting outside my garage. Hopefully I’ll get around to working on it soon

👍👍👊

Im in love. Wished i owened it

Im in love. I wished i owned it

Road in Manitoba and then buddy had one in ft st john bc and went into wolverine mountains

We were a Homelite dealer and I owned a Forester II.

enjoyed your video

Nice survivor! Keep it original! They don’t make them like that anymore! It’s a Kawasaki Drifter with all the bells and whistle’s!

Looks awesome

You have a very nice machine. I’m with you. Leave it alone and let us admire it as original please. 😊

i had the spitfire best sled ever it would run 55 mph all day long and never break it got stold

Sweet unit. fun to ride.

Evinrude used the same engine on my father's Bobcat. Had a lot of torque for a one banger. Yes, you don't need to do 100 mph to have fun in the snow.
