hey guys i pulled some parts out today and just moch up a snow minibike with a large track unit. i believe this is the biggest unit that i have found so far? and it fits real good with the wards/gilson frames, as you can see. i pulled out a 5hp tecumseh snow blower engine that comes with a heater box set up to keep the carb from freezing and primer button and a on/off key set up and snow shield on the recoil. i won't be building the snow bike this year. i just wanted to moch it up and see what you guys think.
drive train will be easy to figure out. but what i am looking for is some input on running a front ski. if any of you guys do alot of snowmobiling i would like to know what type of ski would work the best. for example short mild or wide with a single runner on the bottom. i have my pick of different ski's that i can get for free from my sisters boyfriend(barn full) if i have to cut and fab one, no problem for me. i can do it:hack::weld:
here is a vintage snow bike ski that spark my eye,maybe something like this? and i was thinking of fabing heim ends on the end of the forks to allow the bike to roll/steer better?
