RESTORING ANTIQUE SNOWMOBILES

Restore Antique Snowmobiles: Places You Need To Go To

Nov 6, 2009
Nothing beats the classics, or so the saying goes. Although that adage is more applicable in terms of music and vintage cars, the same can be said about antique snowmobiles. While modern snowmobiles are better with regards to power, flexibility, and maneuverability over their antique predecessors, classic snowmobiles are much cooler.

Designed by Ray H. Muscott, the first snowmobile was rolled in 1916. Although it was a long time ago, you can still find old Muscott's model fully restored and basking in its glory as if time has not passed it by. If you have an old snowmobile model, you might want some restoration done on it. This article will point you to the right direction.

Joining a snowmobile club is one of the best ways to get in touch with restoration experts. Most members might even help you with your project or provide you with useful contacts. That is, provided you do own an antique snowmobile.

If you have some cash to spend on but no reliable contacts, you can check museums and snowmobile exhibits. If these places feature old snowmobiles, most likely they have commissioned professional services for restoration. You can get from the museum staff important information such as the name and address of the restoration agency.

Another good way of starting your restoration project is to visit snowmobile fairs. People there are really into snowmobile and would be glad to help you out. If they do not have a restoration activity going on, they can give you directions and some contact details to help you with your project.

Prior to starting the restoration , make sure that is everything is ready. bear in mind that restorations for old snowmobiles do not come cheap. Labor is not the only thing you are going to pay for; there's also the parts that you might need for your project.

While it can be expensive, a fully restored antique snowmobile is worth all the money and effort. An elegant piece of machine reverted back to its former glory is a sight to behold. New models may be the norm for today, but still, nothing beats the classic

SNOWMOBILER KILLED

Authorities in Maine say a 52-year-old Massachusetts man has died after a snowmobile he was operating fell through thin ice on a lake.

The state Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife says Richard Dumont of North Attleborough, Massachusetts, was riding a snowmobile owned by a friend and business partner on Messalonskee Lake in Oakland when it broke through the ice. It happened shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday.

Witnesses called 911 and fire department personnel used an ice rescue sled to pull Dumont from the water. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The Maine Warden Service says this is the second snowmobile-related fatality this season and they urge people to use extreme caution on any body of water.

An investigation is continuing.
