Default Model A Snowmobile

Here in the Northeast are there any Model A snowmobile meets?
Most of what I find are Model T or does everyone meet together?
Is there a source for Model A snow parts? I know a few members
in our club want to jointly build a snow "A".
Any leeds or websites appreciated. Thank you.

I helped a friend on this one some years back. All the Arps Snowbird equipment he had was originally this odd green color so he restored it that way. My friend Mike was the one that provided the NOS tire to have them reproduced.

When Mike acquired his first one he collected everything he could find that had been published and contacted owners and past owners for leads and contacts. There was no easy way.

You have an excellent source for new/used snowmobile parts right in your backyard. Log on to www.NHsnowcar.com for information, links, pictures, and parts. As for Model A clubs and meets, here in MN we have the Midwest Snowmobile Conversion Assn. which includes all converted snowmobiles pre-1950. Most of the snowmobiles in this area are the Snow Flyer, Snow Bird, and Snowmobile kits. However mine was manufactured in St. Cloud, MN, called the Hilco Auto Sled. I have restored it, and the only pictures I can find at the moment are a couple on my car hauler. I have included a few other shots from the factory, which was once the home of the Pan Automobile. I have also included a few others from a meet a couple years ago in Cokato, MN.
