[@otiselevator7738]

We had a Snow Pony in California in 1972! Little bugger went like hell!

[@Summitoutdoorproductions]

This guy is the bomb. Just started watching his channel. Unbelievable how many people were making snowmobiles back then!! I thought I’d seen them all. No way. Thanks nice video.

[@Wantsail]

Enjoyed the history lesson. My mother worked at the Polaris plant in Beausejour in 69. We got to buy a 68 Colt and we were hooked on the sport.

[@donschutte1418]

I owned a 1972 797 Blizzard 3cyl made by Bombardier I bought it from Gordon's Saw Shop T. Bay Ontario

[@Jspackman]

I would love to even see a revolt in person one day let alone have the opportunity to own one is completely insane. Always loved redline snowmobiles!

[@northofhwy8180]

Look at all those old gems. Awesome tour of vintage iron.

[@MoneyGrip70]

Love this guy. The Mach Z , the Thunder Cat & Indy Storm, three sleds me and friends owned.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Unbelievable collection. Those first year triples from all manufacturers is awesome. And i was drooling at the tx's. Thanks for taking us with nutter

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Happy to share this.

[@David-jd9xz]

I remember seeing the Redline at the Toronto snowmobile show in early 2000’s. it was a radical design that blew me away. I picked up a redline brochure of their sleds and I still have it. They advertised a four stroke vtwin version along with a 2 stroke 1300cc.

[@crushthis123]

Yes I remember Jack winning and racing the red toboggin in Peterborough Ontario. Then he went to Artic Cat I believe and he was a full lap ahead and I was at the fence trying to tell him slow down your ski is falling off and he went two more laps and lost it in corner 3.

[@joelaichner3025]

Always wanted a FAST , thought the reverse the motor , illuminated the chain case idea was genius ! And bottomless suspension , NICE !

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Right on

[@lloydscibe3849]

Thanks for sharing John! Great to see you and Greg enjoying Valdi's treasures.

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@kennethgoin628]

That's just fun! I was aware of some, unaware of others, but the stories... Love it! Gotta send ya props for all the times you already knew what the sled was, what was in it, etc., etc... That was just a good time! Thanks for posting!

[@brettrupp6051]

thank you much for the awesome tour.....saved me a trip to his place,,,lol, it was fun to watch. Jerry

[@toddclyne3493]

Valdi is never short for words.... He hauled a 74 pdc hood down from Canada for me about 5 years ago. Great guy to know

[@nuttersspeedshop]

I agree.

[@mikecallan8346]

I need that RXL clone. What a beauty!

[@tractorguy100]

My dad had a Artic Cat 760 with a Rockwell motor. Chrome side pipes. Looked awesome. You don’t see them very often

[@marktrottier8427]

Really neat collection!! Love that 93 storm looks mint

[@jessekuchinski1172]

That mach z!! Wow

[@SuperBigdanno]

Cool collection!! Many iconic machines there. Fun fact on the Arctic Cat V.I.P. ... was the only oil injected Cat until 79 or 80.

[@scottstrecker9867]

Great video I remember seeing some of those sleds as kid

[@tomrogers9467]

Kohler 2 strokes were built in Mississauga (Toronto) Ontario. My college class toured their plant in 1972 when I was training for the small engine trade. Another manufacturer was CCW - Canadian Curtiss - Wright, who was actually an aircraft engine company. Both were pretty good engines for their day. Breaker points, diaphragm carbs. I worked forma dealer who sold MF Ski Whiz, MotoSki, Scorpion, Roll O Flex and the Raider machines. The Raiders were unique, race-car cockpit style, rear engine twin tracks. Sure wish I had kept one for myself. Used CCW 340 and 440 engines.

[@rancecollins4641]

I was in the presence of a Steve Thorson RXL a dew weeks ago, same collector also had an identical Kohler Starburst Boa Ski to the one in the video. Awesome!

[@Popesontour]

I remember our Boa-Ski 440. That sled when it was running was a beast. Also Dad had a Merc 340 Sno-Twister that was also fast for its day. It blew up and he traded it for a Nordic 640 with reverse. That Ski-Doo was a big sled but I would ride in front of him and I remember racing my Cousin and Uncle on his old TnT and that TnT was a real runner! Good ole days!

[@patmayer7222]

I just found a 1971 , polaris,290...from the homelite charger,,,the body is still out in the woods,,,,turns over!...we had a pair of the rangers,,,when we were little,,(72'73')....cool survivor!...land o'lakes,wi....tnx,for this great vid,,,......GO.Eagle River.!.🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@michaellawrence5492]

How much fun was it at 14 yrs age playing with a old single 10hp ski-do sled? Answer: Tons, you could always path your way thru woods.

[@darcy32171]

. Nice to hear all the props for Saskatchewan! I`m a quick easy 1hr south of Regina where the "Wild One" factory was. God does this guy look familiar. I sold a 1975 Z250 to a real big American collector. I actually still own a early 80`s 81 Indy Liquid.

[@spitfire155k2]

I grew up in northern N.D. in the late 70’s and the only sleds we ever had were Sno Jet. My favorite was the SST 440, that thing felt like it’d do 100 mph! 🤣 Course I was only 11. Where’s the Sno Jet? 😊

[@eugenebaroni1298]

Wow a lot of cool sled's. Thanks for the tour.

[@nuttersspeedshop]

You bet

[@JeffRydalch]

Love the KB! Like to see some more of that!

[@alaskarailroad3996]

awesome video. I had a 74 V.I.P . great collection of sleds. But those 2 tx's, and that TX-L Indy really got me EXCITED! thanks nutter.

[@billmoxon9506]

My dad was a Scorpion dealer in Colorado through the 70s. I've still got my 1972 Scorpion Stinger II 400cc. I wish I still had his Whip similar to the one shown here.

[@jackhammer2671]

Wow those first year triple cyl muscle sleds the Thundercat...Mach Z...Vmax4 and Polaris are gorgeous as are the racing triples from back in the 70's.

[@uvcoach42]

I ran a 500 Hirth in my Moto ski … as a kid just about tore the track off it

[@indy99-v5]

The Wild one is made in Regina Sk. You have the fan cooled version. there was a Roll-o Flex Wild One F/A . Larry Mauws Canadian champion was the designer of the Rollo flex Wild One , there is quite a story behind the Wild One and i wish i could talk to you . He also was considered the inventor the suspension in that machine. Roll-o-flex used numerous motors until Larry became involed and they switched to Yamaha and were really good sleds . Now the Hiawatha was made by Polaris in Besaugiour Manitoba where Polaris had a factory making mostly private label product. Hiamatha was sold throught MacLoed Hardware Stores , now there there was another private label Polaris made for Marshall Wells . Beautiful collection.

[@RobFranklinROX]

Polaris didn't come up with the Indy, look at a 77 Trail Cat, and research who was working for what company when...

[@caddydaddy6728]

Great stuff 👍👍

[@albert6276]

Was so surprised to see a Ski Bee Scout. I grew up on a farm 80 miles west of Langham Sask., where those were made. We had a different model the Commander. It was a family sled, 20 in track and bigger seat. It was the same base colour, rusty/ugly red and yellow. Bright yellow. Not very reliable, always something falling off or breaking. The Rolo Flex Wild One was cool to see, I remember their ads on TV that had a kit to get rid of the skis in the summer and put 2 wheels on front for steering. It had a fan cooled engines and bogey wheels so you could supposedly do that. I think the idea was to have 1 rec vehicle for year round. My cousin had the Polaris 250 free air twin. Good sled.

[@jdram58]

NDI remember a TX 300 polaris when I was a kid in Wishek ND would clean everybodies clock but you couldnt keep the skiies on the ground cool on straight aways but come to a curve n you had to slow way down to keep it on the track. a friend of mines dad owned it it was super modified just unreal how fast it was for a TX 300.

[@MrJjhemi]

Sweet collection legendary just needs some moto ski

[@LowskBowski]

Nice! I bought a txl Indy and the owner claimed it was one of the very first made. He claimed that it was featured on a magazine cover with the Unser brothers. He had a fake nose piece that they rigged on because they hadn't even produced the proper piece yet. I got in touch with Polaris and talked with their wise-man. He was super helpful but couldn't find any info on it. It needed a lot of work to get it in running shape, but it was fun!

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Cool!

[@markguerin701]

My dad sold Northway snowmobiles in 1968, i haven't seen one since the early 70s

[@charlesmyers2762]

What great sleds!!!! I'm in love with the 93 Mach Z....and rode for the very 1st time on a 71 TX 335 free air, my brother has a few Scorpions and a blue one just like the one in the video. Will he be at the VSCA show in Old Forge NY June 25th? The Revolt was amazing! First time I've actually seen that motor! Just great!!! Thanx guys!!!!!

[@markjoudrey7036]

Fantastic collection.

[@brianm2129]

Didn't see any Kawasaki's or Sno_jets. OMC had the Canadian snowmobile plant near where I grew up . Saw some interesting sleds from there. You every ride one of the Rotary OMC's ? My brother worked at OMC and told me they were crazy machines.

[@darrylsmart1783]

Awesome sleds !!

[@MegaMarclar]

I have no fn clue what's going on there... BUT, I can tell that this is no ordinary collection.. and what he's got is not what your average dude has in his shed.. I appreciate a good collection, no matter what it is. Shit, I collect old dodges and Jeeps lol. Y'all probably think I'm crazy. Lolol

[@benscoles5085]

nice show, lots of information and unknown to me sleds. I forget who made them, my Uncle had a sled with 2 rear track, it was a Double Eagle. you sat in it not on it, rear engine, he started selling sleds in the early 70's Scorpion's ' Whip was one of them, none were HP til later 70's when he started to sell SkiDoo and Kawasaki.

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Very cool!

[@strangersgt5632]

"I was a Yamaha guy until they went to four stroke and then I said good bye." I feel the same way.

[@timliscum2861]

That RTX!!!

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Also the redline sled. Was built in the city i live in

[@ontariotube]

I feel bad for wrecking so many old sleds back in the 70's.

[@stevengamsby8376]

Dose he have any of the McCulloch Super 250 snow mobiles from the late 50s early 60s ? I haven’t seen one since 1964 when my dad worked for McCulloch in LA and they where testing them McCulloch’s super 250 in big bear lake

[@richaxford9798]

I'm surprised no srx or gp ,still a very nice collection

[@papabits5721]

Thank you nutter beautiful collection

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Thanks for watching!

[@Celestial-Force2335]

I just found out Harley Davidson made a snowmobile. Vintage!

[@joelaichner3025]

Skäl , figured you were having a beer reading this , just a guess ? But just in case , I like the our machines are so Old ? How Old are they ? They’re so slow that last one to the Bar drinks all night for Free ! Or he won’t come !

[@TomcatandSons]

Where are the Kawasaki's? Cool stuff tho. Big thunder has a special place for me. The old man has an all original 93 thundercat.

[@jonsmith398]

my friends dad sold snow ponies and arctic cat he liked the cat best

[@trailmaker6947]

sno gia hahaha, moden sleds mount their motors like the ghias did in 69. i have three of them

[@nuttersspeedshop]

69 colt had a forward motor too.

[@trailmaker6947]

@@nuttersspeedshop TC did

[@matthewbegin3462]

How about a tour of your current fleet?

[@nuttersspeedshop]

It's too scattered. Everything is put away for the Summer. I'll do one late Fall when I'm switching over to Winter mode

[@uvcoach42]

Redline !

[@geoffreywalls5663]

What about the moto-ski SR340

[@daveflannigan6685]

I have a 1980 txl Indy and thought that was the first Year made

[@ericfleming347]

No Rupp ?

[@ryan1turbo899]

I’m in upstate ny, I’m searching for an Ariens Arrow. My grandfather used to sell them. Anybody know of any for sale nearby?

[@geraldblum1026]

The Yamaha VMAX 4 was a 4 cylinder not a triple

[@happyindeed6392]

Was a yamaha guy until they went four stroke and then i said goodbye. So did everyone else.

[@MyPrairieLife]

Nope love my four stroke. Now I am not going to say that I don't miss some aspects of the two stroke. But these four strokes are fast as f*** boy and don't seem to have as many breakdown issues. Can't wait till I can afford a sidewinder SRX

[@markstoybox2058]

I was a 2 stroke guy until I bought a 4 stroke Yamaha with a turbo kit. For me That's the only way to go!

[@ericfleming347]

Not me love the 4 Stroke Yamahas still love getting on my 2 stroke but damn are the Yamaha 4 stroke torque y and so dependable. If you do a little work to get them dialed in they are great sleds !! Yamaha is developing an 850 2 stroke though anyhow and guarentee it will be better and more reliable than any 850 in the business. Yamaha knows more about engine technology than all other Oem's combined!

[@akorn67]

A little disappointed...no Merc Sno-Twisters

[@greghaig2764]

Has anyone heard of a Hussler snow mobile early 60s

[@scottdeano8397]

All he ends is a Chrysler sno runner..lol

[@josephrodwell6643]

So , sad seeing this video. Valli's barn roof collapsed . Destroying Alot.

[@nuttersspeedshop]

Yes. It is a complete tragedy. Valdi called me yesterday and i stopped by but there is not much anyone can do. It's scary being in there now and i got out quickly. Ill help valdi with the clean up when its time. Probably after sone snow melts.

[@curtekstrom9531]

Triple cylinders, the worst design for a Snowmobile engine.

[@Rokonroller]

Beautiful collection Kudos 🙇‍♂️
