    The first liquid cooled sleds were called Brut. They were made in my home town of Brooten Minnesota in the early 70s. From what I hear from the old timers that had them they were the fastest thing around while they ran which usually wasn’t long. 👍

    • @AJvsEverything
      @AJvsEverything 2 года назад +3

      Fun Fact: A guy in Paynesville bought out Brut snowmobiles and used a modified version of their liquid cooled engine to build jet skis called Wet Jets, which the design was then later sold to Mastercraft Boats...Ed Webb is his name, and he owns Koronis Parts, which still manufactures vintage snowmobile replacement parts...

    This is the content i like the most from you snowmobile revivals not many people do this stuff Kevin does mostly bigger stuff like cars trucks the small stuff is how we all start out on every one of us had a old sled or tractor go kart etc that always ran like crap but it ran it and it ran enough to have a ton of fun and when they broke we would fix them no matter how ugly the fix was we didn’t have the money or a daddy to bring it to a shop or fix it for us some of our dads helped us learn but mine made me do all the work but I learned alot from him and im super thankful it was like that

  • @kyleirving7747
    @kyleirving7747 2 года назад +6

    Most people swapped out those grouser bar tracks with a full rubber aftermarket ones early on. That one you found is amazingly un touched! So much of it is original and fairly nice. I know it was a free sled, but I sure would like to see you fix it up properly. Those things were made 30 mins from my house in Horicon, WI. Love the content, keep it up!

    • @OilHist
      @OilHist 2 года назад

      If the belt sections of the track are ok, all you need are the grouser bars. I would think they would be available from somewhere. I always liked those steel bared tracks as they dig good.

    • @Hustler_state

    I grew up in Horicon Wi when they were making these back in the day. Best friends dad work for John Deere in town (executive) and every fall they had 4 brand new snowmobiles delivered to their driveway for the to use for the winter. I was so jealous.

  • @garageofscrap

    I love that liquifire! I owned one many years ago, and what an excellent runner. Smooth, quite powerful for the time, but kinda heavy and not very nimble. The 78 was there one to have of the 3 years they made them with that engine. It had slightly better rear suspension and seat than the 76 and 77s. Also 78 was the only year with the small radiator in conjunction with heat exchangers.

    I've watched Vice Grip Garage, Mortske Repair, Puddin's Fab Shop and Junkyard Digs and Mook and this is the first time I have heard the term "hyper lapse". I have never expected an advanced vocabulary on this channel, which was further reinforced with the hat being worn at the beginning, but was pleasantly surprised to see someone talking like they might actually be from Nebraska.

    Excellent video Golden Rust & Bust get 89 or 91 octane gas in to any small engines work too and track are interchangeable too if want know ! Antifreeze on sled should be 50/50 mix with water and Chain Lube is track oil right name ! Fix upper too!
