Hi Everyone,

Was talking to a older gentleman that was a farmer his entire life and this weekend he took me through his barn and showed me the things he has save forever. I found 1960's (late) Alaska Ski deluxe. I saw where they were built in the late 1960's by SMT Manufacture out of Quebec Canada. They made several models and used the Guidetti Engine. Can anyone tell me anything more about these machines and if I can get parts. It looks like it is in really nice shape with a perfect seat and hood.
Thanks for your help!

You've got a real gem there. Can't be many of those in existence any more. Looks like it will clean up nicely.

I met one of those on the trail a few years ago. The guy was having trouble with a vapor lock so it was giving him a lot of grief. A very unique engine design. We're gonna need some pictures when you get it home.
