Newbie Here Northen NYS

Post by Oledog56 » Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:23 pm

Greetings folks from Lewis County, NY.

Very cool forums, I found it by searching for info on a Bolens Hus Ski (serial# is 20500 or 20508, hard to read) I had it given to me by my wife's family, after her Dad past away, he was a Scorpion dealer for years. Now that I'm retired, I think I can find the time to restore it. Been many years since I have wrenched a snowmobile or rode one, just never had time after I got married, matter of fact my first job was a wrench at a local Ski Doo dealer just out of high school. So anyway I'm looking forward to hanging out here and soaking up all the available info here on the Hus Ski's :)

Hey! Welcome aboard Oledog!

I too was a newbie not too long ago. I took every opportunity to find info on my toy trough the use of this wonderful forum. Thanks to a lot of knowledgeable folks on here.

I encourage you to do the same and look up your machine and view and review the posts about it. BEST learning tool ever. ;)

Thanks for the welcome :P
Here a few pics, the original color is the blue, then it was yellow, then red. So far it needs skis, recoil, air box, and lots of tlc. Engine is a 148cc JLO, turns over fine, so that's good, easier to rebuild. Any info gathered from the pics would be appreciated ;)

Your machine has great, straight metal. Your work is half done with a machine like this.
