1984 John Deere Sprintfire Snowmobile

….The 1984 John Deere Sprintfire claimed a dry weight of only 334 pounds (!) using a direct-drive system that eliminated over 40 parts. This was the only liquid-cooled direct drive sled on the market, powered by a 340cc engine, making it the lightest liquid-cooled sled on the snow at that time.
