FREE!!! Snowmobile Revival Polaris Cobra 440!!

[@JunkyardDigs]

What a cherry unit!

[@garageofscrap]

No spinny Dorito in this though, just an extra 137cc of displacement

[@leed7951]

You're so going to lose. Lol

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The dog chasing you is so cute at the end testing the machine in the snow John @Golden Rust Or Bust

[@beamin03]

Note to self check plugs for diabetus 😂

🤣😂🤣

[@cjackfly]

@@goldenrustorbust gotta love those no gauges.

[@Shotz_rust]

I love how your dog is so happy running behind you

[@joeszymanski6936]

Great old sled. I had a 1979 TXL 340 and a 1979 250 TX free air. Those were great machines and I miss them. So simple to work on and a blast to drive.

[@RattyFlyer]

Even the dog was like you are doing it wrong 🤣

[@MoneyGrip70]

Great find

[@anaphylastiks]

Particularly the exhaust helps with those twin strokers. Needs that back burn to run properly. Thing wasn't even really out of tune. Amazing.

[@rapidfire-0680]

I used to have a 1979 ski doo Blizzard 9500 plus, 440 liquid cooled, with twin 38 mm mikuni carburetors, that were jetted out to the max, and dual expansion pipe's on it, and that thing would do about 80 mph, it also was equipped from bombardier, with a rotary valve, instead of conventional reed valve's, I bet that sled you got there, that polaris would probably do about 65-70 the way you've got it set up right now, and it wouldn't be hard to squeeze more out of it with some Mods.

[@larrybreuer4495]

I like the new “lead in” so much I gave you a thumbs up before I even watched the video. ( I am still going to watch the video. Hehehe) 👍👍❤️

[@MrGomjabber]

NIce sled, classic good looking design from that era. Yellow dogs rule.

[@m.b8257]

That’s a good looking machine.

[@Brimstone667]

lol that antenna went after em like a manta ray

[@TD.snowmoblies]

That's a clean sled

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Old cobra Is Loud and Mean LOL 😆 sounds beastly John @Golden Rust Or Bust

[@hansonschmid9548]

Holy crap! I had one of these in highschool and I LOVED it. I’ve been looking for one ever since. Definitely jealous over here haha. Keep up the AWESOME work!

[@frankrotello8938]

Yup so did I, my dad bought it as a basket case for 100 bucks, I think I was 13 at the time. Ran it the whole season and tore the track out if it. Tried to "patch it together" but that didn't work all that well. It sat for awhile and then sold it for parts. Next sled was a 87 Indy Trail.

[@isaacsoderlund9677]

My father on law gave me a "free" 72 Panther 440 last year. Super fun to get it cleaned up and running. We have a bit more of a snowmobile season here in northern Minnesota.

[@markbernier8947]

Good job !!! So far after watching vids from different people who are planning on going to this "$500 Sled" weekend you're got the best running sled out of all of them ---- It's an old sled but with 440cc, dual carbs, it should be decently fast --- I'm looking forward to the Big Event

[@cyntax_error]

Watching you try and get it on the trailer, i was half expecting the Benny Hill theme to play lol

[@MNWILD43]

I'm 56 an old bastard. I love this shit, young man!

[@helmesnick79]

Man if you was closer I’d buy this beauty in a heart beat

[@terryroths4254]

My father had a new one in 78. Only difference was speedy and tach. Was on his. Love the memory thank you!

[@kevincash6699]

Love the old sleds. They rip. Keep up the good snowmobile content

[@Motormike2025]

Went back together great . And runs great . 👍. You did a great job my friend . I'll be watching the video when you guys share it . Thanks for sharing this one . I watch everyone else's videos to .

[@K3NnY_G]

I'm so looking forward to the snowmobile challenge, the truck challenge on Junkyard Digs was absolutely legendary. Sure this is gonna have the same vibes, maybe slightly less destruction. xD Great video man, thanks for bringing us along.

[@JunkyardDigs]

That's what we're shooting for! Same vibes but more beer and cold

[@simpleman4218]

Sick bud keep having fun!!

[@justindavis2856]

Can't wait to watch this video. Always happy to see golden rust on another snowmobile project!!! I have been scouring Facebook to find an old snowmobile. I've never brought one back to life before and I feel it's time

[@goldenrustorbust]

Good luck with the search it’d be sweet to see what you get

[@thorson7842]

I'm sure mom is happy to have her truck back inside.

[@Derf1313]

Started thinking a cross between Keystone Kops & Benny Hill, when loading a trailer, lol! Gotta love those 2 strokes, Polaris had some of the fastest sleds back then... Have fun! Thanx !

[@somerandomguy3868]

Had the opportunity to ride one of those back when it was new, even with a girl on the back it was a fast light machine, around 60 mph as I remember no problem

[@motov8-garage832]

I almost thought this was my old sled! I had the same exact one like 7 years ago. Mine ran, was pretty dang fast for how old it was, brakes didn't work. I bought mine with a titled tilt trailer for 350 bucks on Craigslist. Ended up selling the sled for 450 after I got it running and rode it a few times, fixed up and kept the trailer for several more years and sold it for 350. Man I love wheelin and dealn old cool stuff.

[@TheMegaross91]

Kevin has taught you well officer

[@robertmoczulski3096]

That’s a nice sled!!! You can’t beat free either. Liked the vid and glad to see you again.

[@darrellroeters4951]

My best Polaris was a 1979 500 Centurion water cooled triple, pulling three throttle cables was a hand work out.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

That was a badass sled

[@midgetkg]

Awesome video.. Can't wait to see the next one and the next thing you and your grandpa work on..

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video :) also nice find also all rebuilt to go Snowmobile riding and did tune carbs for low , high idles plus mixture screws too set up ! Also lube the choke , throttle and brake cables too to hopefully brake light works too!

[@davidanderson1763]

Your cobra is in WAY better shape than my Galaxy is. But she's a trooper.

[@MrDbeau716]

It helps to hook the trailer to a vehicle BEFORE loading 😂😂

[@chadoakes8002]

I am a big Polaris fan myself I love the older ones love to see you keep another old vintage sled alive thank you for all your hard work and great videos

[@unstoppable6837]

I really like that Polaris hat. I want one

[@Newood71]

I'm so glad you did this video. I have a free one of these sitting waiting to be revived too. I'm doing a track and suspension swap on mine. Supposedly the 121 8" indy suspension is a direct bolt in on these.

[@goldenrustorbust]

awesome man and good luck with your project.... id love to see it when its done

[@Newood71]

​@@goldenrustorbusthow can send you some photos? I've got most of my swap done.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

See you in Wisconsin! Bring your A game, although your C game is probably good enough.

[@rapidfire-0680]

I'm Surprised at how nicely that machine cleaned up, it look's mint, now go out and beat the crap out of it enjoy it, and if it breaks just fix it again, LOL !

[@bartobuilt2601]

MOPED/Scooter Content. I think you guys should setup some sort of Race and build challenge around them :-)

That brake thingy yea that’s pretty much like a master cylinder…. Well that might be because that is what it is lol. Love your content man!

[@philthomas4491]

That is a awesome sled. I would definitely buy it. I grew up riding 70’s Polaris sleds. My favorite sled ever was a Polaris colt 340ss

[@ehguy3628]

Nice blast from the past. Got to wonder, would it have killed you to put a bit of oil in each cylinder? Nope, but you sure should.

[@jamesbigham9036]

I am definitely looking forward to the snowmobile challenge that was definitely a good investment. You have a beautiful dog that definitely was getting her exercise with all of the running behind you

[@paulweigle6872]

That's a pretty good running sled. Seems to be fast for an old sled. Nice job!

Watching video. Big Junkyard Digs watcher, it’s obvious on the vids y’all are good friends , and I appreciate the brotherhood. Noticed your lab has a significant lameness in his left rear…..it looks like a lab with an ACL injury. The most common Otho injury in labs. I’m from the Eastern Shore of Maryland with family roots in the Ames area and this is the most common injury I repair in dogs. Oh , yeah, Im a vet. Get him looked at, if you haven’t already. Love the charisma. Cousin-in-law is LEF in Ames

[@TheFurriestOne]

I have a Yamaha GP338 I got for free from a friend's barn, after the people renting their farm abandoned it there. Complete, but very, very, very rough. Also caked with pigeon poop. Engine was/is junk, track rotten/worn to nubs, suspension worn/rusted/seized, mouse-eaten seat, broken-up hood where the hinges mounted... It's a heap! But it's MY heap! Body is probably the best part, although the skies/steering and fuel-tank are also salvageable, but the underside/pan under the engine is both caved in and badly rusted/rotten. Very much a long-term/someday project. Your basket-case is a lot better-off, and in better hands! XD Looks like your dog's limp was taken care of or healed up.

[@goldenrustorbust]

hey good luck with your project

[@TheFurriestOne]

Thanks! The two Beetles will probably be a priority first, but I did pick up a used track of the right width from a wrecking-yard a while back.

[@RattyFlyer]

Use the excavator to set it on the trailer 😀
