[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 395518, member: 217"] Yep came out with the bullet proof Kohler engines in the 70s ,the John deere snowmobiles were set up differently then your racing sleds that used those same engines like the mercury or Rupp, but with some engine upgrades it could easily keep up with Yamaha srx and artic cat z. A classmate had a 78 John deere spitfire that was easy to handle because of its shorter body but with that kohler engine it would start no matter how cold it got. John deere demise was when some say they went to a more powerful motor but more prone to problems in the kawasaki engine. [/QUOTE]
