Interesting items in Alaska

[Gunny 240]

Just got back from a trip to Fairbanks AK.  Saw these and thought some might be interested.

 Supposedly, The Polaris Snow Mobile was the first year made?  Being from East Texas, I have no impact, no idea and no need for one. 95 today, I would take some snow.

The outboard, I remember some on here collect these.

Enjoy.

A few odds & ends, a fresh K model Kohler. That baby would be ready for some snow action.

It’s pretty amazing to think that that Evinrude may have been pushing some doughboy around a lake who was fortunate enough to make it home from the war to end all wars.  And for the low price of 110 dollars (or 11 gold eagles).  That’s one expensive engine!  If it still runs (as one would surmise it does from the tag) it really boggles the mind.  And is that a hand crank starter?  Yikes!  Thanks for sharing these cool pics.

Maybe a little of the old Greasy Pete action might be called for, too!

That “snowmobile “ is sitting on a crane boom by the looks of it

Yeah, don’t it though?  Can you imagine the trak for that thing?
