Hello.
I purchased a wide guage with a flat head six cylinder engine in December 2005. The serial # tag was not on the machine. I am wondering if anyone could help with determining the year of the Bombardier? I am thinking it may be 56, 57,58 or an outside chance a 59. Someone has confirmed the machine is likely from somewhere in those years.
Some details to help determine the year are as follows:
1) Maroon color; it is the original color. Have been told that Maroon was the standard color and blue was an option for models of this era.
2) There was a second pedal to the right of and similar to the gas pedal. This pedal was connected to a rod going to the rear of the Bombardier. I have since cut this pedal out. It was suggested to me that this rod was used to engage the starter motor of this model year.
3) The Heater location seems different than what someone said the location was for a Narrow gauge 1958 or likely 1959 model C-60 12 passenger model. The heater in my machine is further to the front just back of the steering arm. There is a medal covering plate that covers the heater and steering arm.
Secondly, would anyone know the Brand and part numbers for the Points, condenser, Rotar and Distributor Cap for the Flathead 6 cyl (251
?) engine that has been converted to a 12 volt.
Thank you to all for your consideration and help.
Sincerely,
Perry Rod
