UPDATE: Sold. Was on eBay.
This has a few jeeps parts and many more non jeep parts.
“It was used up to the point of having one cylider run rough; then the unit was replaced with another used Zamboni of newer vintage. This unit fits into the 1964 to 1969 HD and HDA catagory of Zambonis . most of us remember these at the ice rinks when we were alot younger.
This is the familiar looking unit that most NHL ICE rinks had back in the 60’s and 70’s. This would be a fantastic unit for promotion / parade / or for your local ice rink once motor repaired.
This unit has the air-cooled 4 cylinder Wisconsin VH4D engine. The motor is tired on one cylinder , it does run,it was last run in december 2011. It does have the 5 bolt wheel jeep cj5 diffs, but is the 1964 up non jeep framed type Zamboni . It has the 3 speed manual transmission (Jeep FC 150) , It has 4 studded tires. it rolls and steers properly.
It has been used up to recently at the Keremeos BC ice rink, with former use at the Osoyoos BC rink.”
Now if that isn’t a widow-maker, I don’t know what is. My wife would kill me if I bought that even though it has some FC parts in it! It sure would be a great conversation piece in someone’s “Man Cave” garage.
If I had room I’d have to buy it.
I almost bought one 20 years ago, but I had to pass for the same reasons, no place to park it at the time. Of course, it had low miles and “had never been off road” (lol). It had a propane powered F4-134. It’s interesting that this one has a Wisconsin engine.
A friend of mine who restored a beautiful ’53 Willys Wagon does outdoor Ice Hockey in the cold country 60 miles away. I sent this to him in case he needed one. He replied and said that their Zamboni has an air cooled VW engine w/ hydraulic drive & jeep axles.
