Polaris had been in the sled making business for a number of years, building the big, articulate-chassis "Iron Dogs" for the industrial and northwoods markets, when the industry began its first moves toward snowmobiling as a sport. Polaris then moved toward smaller machines. Then in 1964, Polaris made a front-engine sled. A cute little number, powered by an 8 horsepower Kohler 4-stroke called the Comet. The Comet was built in relative small quantities and had all but disappeared after 20 years, except for a handful in antique clubs.
