ROBIN
NODWELL MYSTERY SNOWMOBILE ???
Dave,
I have an extremely tough snowmobile.
This
has been sitting under our cottage for 3 plus decades
It has a hirth 193 r4 engine.
It was made in Alberta Canada.
The gas tank is placed at the rear.
Here are the pictures, I’m thinking about restoring it but cannot find
any details on it.
I took it out from under cottage and took more
pictures.
Another
update, I spoke to my father in law, this was originally his fathers snowmobile.
These are his words.......
His
father bought the sled brand new from a store.
There
were about 10 snowmobiles and they all came from a warehouse which caught
fire.
The
company had a fire at a warehouse and these were sold off to independents
with hand made bodies?
This
store bought them and apparently built the hoods and sold them as new.
This snowmobile originally
came with a JLO engine.
The only thing changed
on the sled was the engine and he is sure of that because he has the original
engine still.
He thinks the gas tank
was added but isn’t 100 percent sure.
He
says the ID tag was definitely never changed
or swapped.
He does say the body
is hand made but unsure of the details as he was only 6 years old when
his father bought it.
He did ride it quite
a bit growing up.
I'm definitely going to restore it and hope to use it
again at
the families 4 generation
cottage and store it somewhere so people can also enjoy it.
Thank you. Derek
