Beautiful sled, just looks and sounds amazing, I have a 1979 matching pair of 5000 and 6000 sleds parents use to ride when they were younger while my brother and I had Jag 3000's. I really want to just tear them apart someday and do full rebuilds. They are in great shape but I would love to just get them back up and looking perfect again.
@WizelBalan yes I love the old eltigres , I have a 1973 el tigre 400 also . I am using these old eltigres for vintage snowmobile racing . I am a die hard Arctic Cat rider since my first sled I bought with my own money when I was 15 in 1979 .. I bought a 1977 Jag 3000 so I am just like you ...my buddies dad had a 79 el tigre 6000 and he would let me ride it all the time and I just dreamed of owning one of them ...where I live in Eastern Washington state it is hard to find old eltigres ,just wasn't as many sold out here like in the Midwest, I purchased this 6000 from a wheat farmer who was original owner and bought it brand new ... with regards to yours I would not rebuild them if they run strong and not making any terrible noises or pinging like piston slap ect. I would check the compression on them twice a year and if it starts to drop bad I would rebuild it then , however saying that you really don't want to blow one up and ruin the jugs or piecs fall in the crank and tear stuff up ...I definetly have just as much if not more fun riding this old iron than I do on my new Mountain sleds ...they go alot faster than the mountain sleds down the trail .
Them old school sleds like to do the whip when you lock the breaks up on ice ...Hold On ...lol... seen alot of people fly off in the sno park parking lots thru the years ....
