What year did they build that? I have evidence of one made that actually looks like a snowmobile and was built in 1917. I also have a picture of another snowmobile that is in the wheels through time museum and is powered by an Indian engine.
I love stuff like this, DEERSLAYER

Send 'em over to me if you're having problems.

Cool driver layout - Looks home made - I guess the machines evolved to be single wide cause the trails are narrow.
