Since everyone is so upset I never post nothing and thinks I'm dead here ya go gonna get myself into another expensive hobby and get a vintage snowmobile but not just any sled a cool rare bolens Diablo ever since I seen one at a show a couple years ago it just caught my eye but they're kind of expensive never seem one for under 1500. Well this one needs tracks but it's only two hundred bucks it runs and I found a guy in Wisconsin that remakes all the parts for this model so new parts are easy to find. Needless to say I'm pretty excited gotta get it hauled down from Canada but that's no big deal. Bolens bought out huski in 67 and made this sled from 67 to 69 kind of odd looking not overly fast but very Cooland rides nice I've been told

Hi Cody, I had a model 200 Hus-ski from 1992 to like 2000. Bolens bought Hus-Ski. My kids loved it. Do you notice the off set up in the handle bar by the brake and throttle. Well mine was straight across. So when the front end dropped quick, the handle bar could hit your chin. Then when the front end went up quick, this like crossing a road, the handle bar would come right down on your legs. You'll get the hang of it real quick. I'm thinking your gas, and brake levers are reversed compared to all other snowmobiles now or then.

Yeah I think that's there major downfall is the chin and knees but otherwise people like them. I thin of it like the early power unit tractors like horse drawn but with a motor idk just kind of guide it along idk don't see many of em they're fairly rare so I'm happy to have one it'll go good next to the Terra tiger

Cool. I've rode quite a few sleds in the past, but never seen 1 of those. Lots of Massey,JD and Polaris around when I was riding in the 1970's and 80's.

I have a friend who owned one of those back in the day, he just aquired one for antique rides, not fast, but about impossible to stop also, those cleated tracks were only bad on ice. Probably not very comfortable, but none of that old stuff was.
