My Grandpa (pictured right) and his brother Walter had home-made snowmobiles before anybody knew what snowmobiles were! I'm glad my great Uncle Wally put a date on his machine. I don't know if there are Harley Davidson parts on their contraptions or if they just liked Harleys and put the name on their machines. I remember my dad telling me they actually worked.
I sure hope there was a fender or guard on the tire! Ah the enginuity of youth. May well have been the first snowmobiles. Love them, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, rocker, and thanks for your comments.
Oh what a collector would pay to own these photographs-- let alone the machines! WOW! Thank you for sharing these!
You're welcome, Ben, and I'm glad you enjoyed my photographs.
All of the 'mechanicals' are either Harley-Davidson or home built, a lot of collectors would kill someone to get those parts today !!
