sweet! I saw one in the back of somebodys pickup once without the hood i always wondered what it was. do you know if other companies made them with briggs engines like that?

 

[oldsledz]

Here is one I have about the same size it is a Ski lark made by Larkin Aircraft
it came with a 3.5 HP Tecumseh.

fredrick willys sno dart had 5hp briggs if u look in my photos its the little red snowmobile that looks like a jeep they produced only 275 of those

I've never seen that Lil' Skipper, but it looks a little like a Sno-Pony...seen a couple WAY back in the day! It'd be cool to throw a Hirth 'Honker' in there and watch it fly!!!

 

[SledNeck720]

yes wayne the one thats red with the yellow ski's thats just 4 sled in our collection got plenty more mini and tiquers around the yard,

 

[wayne]

that is realy cool,and im not even into snowmobiles !:smile::smile:

The lil skipper is about half the size of the Lark, I have seen both in person. I have a Sno Prince Jr., which is the same size as the Lark, and the Sno Pony 180. The Sno Pony was original equipped with a Couparral 2 stroke 180cc engine. I had one of these engines for a while. The Lark and Sno pony are about the size of the new series of Ski doo and arctic cat mini's.

 

[oldsledz]

The Ski Lark and Lil skipper were vary close to the same size right around 4 foot the skis on the Lark may have been longer. But there was a longer 2 person Ski-Lark but I have never seen one. I have a 69 SnoPony like most of the early ones it has a 134cc Chrysler engine. I have also had 2 of the 2nd gen SnoPonys one with the 180 and one with the 220 Couparral/Solo engines

zook94 do you go to the Vintage sled shows? Maybe we have met.

Here is a photo the white stuff on the ground is Snow..........it really is just frozen water.

The main thing to remember when you are around snow is not to eat yellow snow!

Love the photo sledz. I want to light up a bike, thought I was going to get it done quick but then I remembered that thing called time. Or lack there of.
