SteveChandos Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I’ve recently acquired 3 MF ski WHIZ. All stored indoors for 30+years. 400SST, 304, and one other. JLO motors, not seized up. Put away in pretty decent condition. Are there any interests in these machines? I can post up some more photos this evening if so. Located North or Peterborough .

revrnd Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Probably more interest in the red models than the black sled since they're earlier versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Are they complete? I noticed a missing carb in your pic Might be interested in another restoration project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they are complete. All lights front/rear are mint. I’ll post some more today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a boy, the neighbor just used a bale string. That was when my friend and I on that sled would ride over the fence lines from field to field in the deep snow of the 60's. It rarely got stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Neighbors across the street had one... Big John (dad) was the only one able to pull it over. 3 of us kids could just barely pull the rope out ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I will be parting them out. rebuilding a home, just don’t have the time. Can definitely take reasonable “package” offers on the 2 reds. 440 SST and a formula III I mainly want these gone as soon as possible.

04nightfire Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Had one many years ago. Wish I never sold it now. Recoil would last about three pulls before it broke. Thank god for electric start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski-dog Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Brings back memories. As a kid there were tons of those original cheese whiz,s as there was a local dealer. Basically all 100 + sleds were in the neighbourhood and everyone was out riding everywhere down roads, fields lakes etc and broken sleds,spit out parts everywhere. All that said it was wonderful and still think about those days over 50/years ago and about 30 to 40 sleds ago. I don’t think the same appreciation will exist in the future although sleds are so much better and so reliable. Unfortunately winters pale in comparison.

A few years back or even around the time this was posted. I had a friend sell my ski whiz on me. I’m trying to find it. I’m willing to do whatever to find my sled. Anyway you could send more pictures of it? It would be greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
