Here ya go, I cried for this sled when I was a kid. grin.gif

Wouldn't this make a great Christmas present for your boy of girl. Maybe even for yourself to get on the ice. smirk.gif

Runs great, tracks in very good condition. Seats been professionally reupholstered. New lights and wear rods. Just jump on and go. Could use a new belt.

I believe its a 1970 give or take a year.

$300 or BO punchboss at hotmail dot com

Thanks for the reply to my email reguarding your sled. I am currently looking at my neighbors sled (Indy 400(as I have posted in the snowmobile forum)). He just told me that he was selling it. It is alot closer, other wise I would probably snap it up. Thanks again- RR4

I'd feel better if you saw it before you made a commitment to buy the sled.

I used to a race a 70 Scorpion with a 440 Hirth engine. Wondering what brand and size engine does this have.

Hey Merc, I grew up in St. Wendel, and we used to ride Scorpions too. We had a 1968, 69, 71, and 75 over the years. It was always fun to tag along with dad to K&B Enterprises when he went in to buy oil.

If I had the money and the storage space I'd buy this one just for the nostalgia.

Smokey, that's really funny because K & B bought the dealership from my dad. He sold them from 1964 to 1970. That is how I got into racing Scorpions. Parts are free when your dad has them, you just take them. The older sleds were probably bought from us. Hopefully nothing fell off as I used to assemble them. We sold a lot of sleds to the St. Wendel area back then. I still have two 1972 sleds, but I would like a 70 because that was the sled I raced the most. Any hint as to who you are, you should know me now.

My name is Eric Pierskalla, HHS class of '78. Go Huskers!

My dad's name is Art. He, my uncle next door, and the neighbor on the other side of us all bought identical 1969 "Mark III" snowmobiles at the same time that year. Of course, since they were identical sleds, they would have to race them every now and then to see who could get the most out of them.

Smokey, I was going to guess that last name as my dad sold a lot of sleds to those guys back in the 60s. Those were the fun days. Every night everybody would meet in Meiers field on the edge of town and race up and down the field, readjust the carb, race, put in new plugs, race, put on a new belt, race, put a ski back on that fell off, race and then usally get towed home by one of the few remaining sleds that were still running. Next night, all over again. The funny part was there were four dealers in town and it was a battle to see which brand would be the fastest for that night. The good old days!!! I did do a lot of cross country and oval racing for four years, that was a blast back then as a person could actually compete against the factory teams then. I graduated in 69, but I remember you. Thanks, Jerry M.

S T, I'm probably 15 minutes away from you and would like to talk about this sled. I'll give you some time to catch up from the Bash and we'll have a chat.-Pete

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.

      On the South Shore...  The focus for most this past week for resorts and ice fishing outfitters is checking ice conditions.  Things are progressing nicely.  As we remind anglers each and every year, ice conditions can vary significantly.  Consequently,  we typically will not make blanket statements about ice conditions or thickness of ice.  It is best to work through a resort or outfitter who knows the ice conditions on the part of the lake they are working.     The 10 day forecast shows temps staying below freezing and hitting the single digits many days.  Depending upon the wind, this should continue to build up the ice and get things started,   Some spearing and angling for pike has started in areas of back bays.  Work through an outfitter and stay on marked trails as ice conditions still vary, even on the bays.  Naturally, with Lake of the Woods having a robust population of big pike, some nice fish are coming in. As the days go on, resorts and outfitters are continuing to mark their ice roads and venture out further checking ice conditions daily.  Initial reports are showing good ice formation on many parts of the lake off of the south shore.     From many parts of the south shore, there is ice as far as the eye can see.  With cloudy conditions, a satellite image of the entire lake has not been available for a number of days.   On the Rainy River...  The river is iced over.  It certainly isn't ready for any traffic as of yet but the fact it is locked up is encouraging.   Some spearing and angling for pike happening in back bays off of the river.  Once ice thickens, a couple of resorts who fish the river will mark ice trails in their particulate fishing area.  The river has current, it is best to work through a resort or outfitter.   Up at the NW Angle...   The Angle is locked up with ice for the most part.  Fishing isn't happening yet, but resorts and outfitters have started checking ice conditions and the ice is progressing nicely.  Things are on track for a good ice fishing season. Watch the Lake of the Woods Tourism Facebook page or other resort facebook pages for reports and videos of current ice conditions.  At this point, reports are coming in daily. If you haven't made reservations for ice fishing, now is a great time.

      Good update.   There has already been a host of idiots walking on the thin ice in the metro, with several rescues taking place. I read that a retired pastor in Duluth also went ice skating on thin ice and died. It's good to see that you're waiting a bit.

      It’ll hurt your arms as you’ll have to saw through that thick, thick 12 inches instead of 6-8. 😉

    • Kettle
      Lots of medium lakes are locked tight, big lakes like trout in colraine, turtle caribou north of Marcell are open. I'd venture small and medium lakes will be good for foot travel and or atv this weekend 
    • smurfy
