Hus Ski Sno Shoo? Diverco Inc Question

[Go Go Diablo]

Hi all,

Was down mid state today picking up a Diablo and Hus Ski ski seater from a fella and on the trailer under the fresh snow we had was a Sno Shoo made by Diverco in Milwaukee. The guy told me he was told that it was part of Bolens and made from Hus Ski parts. It looks like a Hus Ski frame (with a fiberglass or plastic fender) and is built to adapt a Honda Motorcycle to it by taking the back wheel off and mounting the cycle forks to the tractor. The track drive shaft looks to be driven from a chain from the cycle output sprocket. A large front ski looks to go in place of the front wheel. I looked on line and found a reference to 1967 Sno Shoo.

Anybody ever see one of these and know what it's worth?

Hey There
That's an interesting find .I'm pretty sure there was an article in Popular Mechanix about this contraption.If my memory is any good,I would say this was around 1970-72.Perhaps these hot-rods were from left-over parts.
