I finished my winter project! - Rupp Go Joe

[myjunk]

Well, today I finished up my winter project. I am not sure what year Rupp Go Joe this is, I would welcome any insight. You may recall seeing the body parked inside my living room a couple of weeks ago! As you can see there is still plenty of winter to go, but now its on to other projects. I would really like to find a Ruppster to do next winter, so if anyone knows of one please let me know.

Glenn,
It has a 295 Kohler snowmobile engine in it. It is crazy fast. I really dont know what Rupp was thinking, as this thing is not something you would let a younger teen ride.

they made three versions, the mini go-joe with a 3.5 horse tecumseh, the
go-joe in orange with an 8 horse west bend engine, and the white go-joe with the key, electric start, and lights, a 2 stroke Kohler engine rated at 18 horse power

here is a video of one in action
