Stepney 2,325 #1 Posted December 5, 2019 Here's one you don't see every day. This is a 1969 Arctic Cat Panther P-12k snowmobile, with a factory issue Kohler K-301. There were 885 of them built that year. It's a torque monster to be sure.. and the K adds a lot of weight compared to the 2 cycle models. Top speed is about 25mph and it'll pull down a mountain.. Never have to worry about a breakdown however.. Figured you all would get a kick out of it. 4 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #5 Posted December 6, 2019 Your picture brings many memories, I had a 1970 panther with a one lung kohler. I do not remember what model and mine never ran any faster than about 18 mph, but as you said tons of torque. It was a super trailer breaker and never found many hill steep enough that it would jug a lug to the top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,325 #6 Posted December 8, 2019 Got the suspension all loosened up over the last few days. New slide shoes and rewired. Will be taking it out for a proper run tomorrow! Man is it a boat compared to my other machines.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
