50 years ago, my father felt that the 1967 Ski Doo was "too fast and to tippy" to be safe for us kids, and he replaced it with a Ski Daddler, whose track was nearly twice as wide, skis were easily twice as wide, and it was less than half as fast. It was a completely joyless ride. As a kid, it was like having a your sports car replaced with an asphalt paver. When I saw this title pop up on my feed, my only thought was "great historical restoration, but why?" Best of luck in your project though!

you probably got a ski daddler "wide track" model. those sleds were workhorses for the deep snow. this model I'm working on is basically a skidoo clone, just as fast and just as tippy. I have another one with a 634cc twin cylinder engine that's WAY faster (and still tippy!). anyway, there's a wide range of different machines made by ski daddler, some for work, some for fun.

Well then I can't wait to see the finished product! Anything to purge that memory of that gray tank of a sled!!
