Flotation pontoons and jet-packs, ejection seat and drag chute. Maybe a drop down hydrofoil wing.

Custom John Deere

Hey good idea I to am looking to make my own snowmobile although it will have an old john deere 440 chassis im planning on making the thing ultra mod and hardly anything will be stock when i am done. I am looking for a motor as a first priority then I would like a newer parts sled because I will be doing an IFS on the chassis. Let me know how yours turns out and ill share some tips with you if you would like as I get started on it.
