The 1964 Hus-Ski 400 snowmobile
Manufactured by Hus-Ski Limitée. of Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.
The 1964 Hus-Ski 400 consisted of two components linked by a steel hook: the
drive train and a passenger sled. It was also one of the first to lay its
motor a two-stroke JLO horizontally to provide better visibility from
the passenger sled, which was slightly lower than the tractor. This engine
position lowered the machine's centre of gravity, thereby increasing overall
stability.
Other features
Rubber track was made with hardwood braces and metal studs.
The only snowmobile to be equipped with two entirely aluminum sprockets
connected to the same axle.
Two large hardwood skis served as glides.
Note: Despite the small size of its motor, the Hus-Ski model
accommodated three adults or four children.
