^{Dave, I Saw your site. GREAT !} 

^{I happened to see this pic  of a 1969 Ski Jet. at this url http://www.vintagesnowmobiles.50megs.com/1_A_SLEDS_WORTH_TEXT_PAGE.html}

 ^{I'll give you some info.} 

^{The 2 pictures above are a 1969 Ski-Jet manufactured in Archbald, Pa.
by a Company named CMC corporation. 
A division of FAB-Weld Corporation of Carbondale, Pa.}

^{It had an aluminum frame, Sachs one cyl engine,
seats were made by Levine Upholstery of Carbondale.
    The 1969 model twin head light version was
designed by Joseph Kelley of Carbondale.}

^{The engine mounts were studs welded to the
aluminum frame ( 1969 model ) and use to tear off from the vibration.}

^{In the beginning, CMC bought a Ski Doo and tried to copy it with there own style.}

^{The Steel version on the 1968 model was OK,
but the new Aluminum frame on the 1969 model was a disaster.}

^{It's a rare bird as is the steel one. 
They made there own skies and most of the parts.}

^{I think Ski Doo suspensions will work. 
The track had a v pattern in the center.}

^{I had one but no pictures.}

The twin headlight model ( 1969 ) was designed by Joseph Kelly senior.
His son used to have a small scale model of that sled.

The steel was the 1968 model (not too many sold). 

The one you have ( 1969 ) was plagued with problems.
The Aluminum frame in the back used to split, the motor mount studs were welded to that angle iron on
the front broke off do to the vibration of the one lunger. 

They were a flimsy machine compared to the Ski doo or the Arctic CATS. 

The latter plus the lack of sales and the problems just bankrupted the company. 

Nobody wanted them. 

CMC wanted to give us a couple to satisfy their bill. Fab-Weld 
(parent company) was making containers for the army to ship to Vietnam.

P.S. I'll see if I can dig  up any more Info
