Purchased new 1972, machine been stored off ground and started periodically with added fuel protections added and covered to protect unit. Arctic prodused I've heard a thousand of these machines, for use areas like the Dakota's where erosion of soil get mixed with snow. This was burning the original slide rail farefax on slides quickly. There answer was installation of boggie wheels and differant suspension and track. Internal drive track (w) no holes and rubber bars for traction molded into track instead of the steel cleats. Mft. only that year, and every dealer in midwest was to display this machine uppon request from Arctic Cat Interprizes. Needless to say it did'nt fly and no further production after 1972. Pictures of this machine if interested, by e-mailing me
