Hello fellow Rupp riders -
I have a 1971 Rupp snowmobile and am looking for the above track or another track that would fit. Any ideas where I could obtain one ? Thanks !

Good luck!!!! Take an NOS 17 1/2" X 121" & cut 1" off each side of track. Have done it to a couple of tracks.Thats about the ONLY way to find/get one. I've got 5-6 15 1/2" center drive tracks out in my bone yard,can't get any thing for them,SHRUNK TOO MUCH!!! OR retrofit a 15x118" Scorpion,JD,Chaparral etc track & use involute 2.52 drivers & Rupp bogie assemblies,been there,done that.Good luck.

Hi Ruppluver. I am trying to get some answers for a friend of mine from church and you helped me before in this thread. This is his question "What track and drive gears work best on the Rupp drive shaft and how does it all go together ?" I am a computer girl and he is not computer trained..  Lisa |

Is here any reason a 15 x 118 x 2.0 pitch Yamaha Track won't work. those tracks are easy to find. Mark |

Any track will work with some effort. I use all rubber tracks in my conversions.For me,its hard to explain to someone on how to do it. I can't.I've done a few & made threads on them here & Vintagesledders.com.Find a track,drivers & do it.It's best to find a common track & one that is cheap.

Thanks guys... I will pass it on to my church friend. In my divorce I got my Articat Sabercat 700 and trying to get a few of his vintage sleds running so we can ride together. I don't know his trails !!! Lisa
