Since we likely won't be out riding this week, lets see if we can use our time to identify the brand and possibly model of the 18 sleds visible in the bottom picture starting with number 1 on the left side.

Never would have guessed #4 as an Arctic Cat.

 

 

You think #9 may be a Ski-Roule?

 

 

This was an image I found online. There were several manu's who put the headlight out front like that but the beltline made me think AMF/Skidaddler.

Beltline and the one on the sea can also appears to have the small hood scoop. I'll go with your guess.

Do you think the one you can't see well due to the tree might be an Arctic Cat? On my laptop I can enlarge the pic and think that might be what it is.

I think #4 is an Arlberg. 

[CAT RIDER]

I think you are correct, my older brother had an Arelburgh around 1971

I thought that too but the only pictures I could find online showed a Round headlight.

 

The hood is for sure of the same gene pool.

 

 

Ok, now I found one. It seems the 1970 Widetrack 25 version came with the rectangular head light, the larger bumper and the square fuel door.

I wish I had a picture of my bedroom as a kid. I had snowmobile wallpaper and the Skidaddler was one of the sleds repeted in the print.

 

Ya, I was thinking Arctic Cat too but I can't see much of it. We need to send Muskoka Man back for a better pic.  😁

7 looks similar to my '72 Olympic 335, but this one appears to maybe be a slight,y diff hood?

Maybe slightly newer year?

 

15 is a mid 70's Deere. I'm gunna say a model 400, which would be a 340cc maybe?

#4 i took a stab at it because I thought the stripe was the purple. I should have added the ? to the end of that one. After closer look with fresh eyes the stripe appears to be red. The ski roule guess was just because of colour kinda in the ballpark. Wasn't sure and looks like you guys got it. I dont think I ever saw an AMF skidaddler. Man there was a boat load of sled brands back then. Most had the same or similar motors though. JLO, Sachs etc

That's a brand that I have never heard of before.  Thanks for your input.

You are right about 15 Ox. When I zoom in you can see the Deere logo on the side of the hood top rear. Thanks.
