Description
Here
you go vintage sled collectors a rare find.
I
purchased this sled from the original owner who bought it from the factory
in
Farmington
Minnesota. He told me they made six of them and this is the
sixth
one before the company closed. I have not ever seen one of these
before
so, it must be true. It was built by Farmington Engineering INC.
The
brand would be a Sno-Pac and the model is a Mavrik.
It
has a Kohler 295 single cylinder in it.
Overall
it is in fair-to-good condition for its age.
The
hood is in good shape but, has one break on the lower left side and
some
small cracks. The hood color looks like a dark blue metallic.
The
side decals that said Sno-Pac are missing.
The
windshield is missing and so, is the sno-flap.
The
seat is all there but, would need to be recovered.
The
tool box is broken and so, is the clutch cover.
The
handle bars have been welded.
The
tunnel is in good shape with some surface rust.
Both
bumpers are in good shape. The bellypan is in good as well.
The
track is original fast track and is in nice shape.
The
suspension is good but, needs 6 boggey wheels replaced as
they
dry rotted. Looks like any regular boggey wheels will fit.
The
motor turns over with 200PSI and good spark. I squirted fuel into
the
cylinder
and it fired up. The clutches work and the track spun freely.
The
skies are very nice. This is a very rare and unusuall sled.
Should
be a pretty easy restore as it looks very complete.
Looks
like it was made from parts from other brands.
