I found this yesterday and thought it was pretty cool. I would guess it is from the late 60's. I know there were a ton of small snowmobile companies but never knew that Massey Ferguson made snowmobiles.

My boss collects ski whiz stuff. The place I work at used to sell them as they were a massey tractor dealer. I think he has like 14 or so snowmobiles and is still buying if he finds a deal.

Holy smokes we used to have one of those! Rode one like that all over the Cascade Mountains of northern Washington as a kid what a tank it was along with a Scorpion. The worst one we had was a Ski Daddler. Nobody wanted to ride it. We sold those three and bought all Arctic Cats in about 1970.

1st. machine I had in 72 was a "Hellfire" made in Wahoo, NE. There were a ton of different brand machines made back then. I traded the "Hellfire" for a new 73 John Deere JDX 4 which I still have and ride today. Also have a 81 John Deere Sportfire which is also in running condition. Good times and memories.

I can remember back In the early 50s when the DNR had a track driven toboggan type thing. You laid down on It and steered It with handle bars like a bicycle.

When I used to go up to Aikens Lake Lodge in Manitoba, CA. the owner had a Polaris machine that was made of all steel sometime in the 50's. He said that it was alright but he trusted his dog's more than the machine.

We had two Allis Chalmers snowmobiles, The Rustler was 18 hp and Hustler was 24 hp. The Rustler was a 1970 and Hustler was a 1971.

Beats me. Put it on display somewhere or tuck it away with all my other worldly possessions.
