Snowmobile Service Manual - more than 75 makes and manufacturers (1962-1986) | Clymer Snowmobile Shop Manual

This Clymer ProSeries Snowmobile Manual covers over 75 makes and models from 1962 to 1986. Designed for experienced mechanics, it provides condensed service, repair, and specification data across multiple manufacturers. The manual has long been a trusted reference for shops and professionals, particularly where original technical information is no longer available in print.

The manual is divided into two main sections. The Vehicle Service Section provides maintenance, adjustment, and tune-up guidance for each model, with detailed exploded views and disassembly notes arranged alphabetically by name. The General Service Section is subdivided into five areas: engine, torque converter (belt drive), track drive, track and suspension, and skis and steering. Engine and torque converter sections include specific overhaul instructions by make and model.

Illustrations, exploded diagrams, and clear instructions throughout support proper assembly, repair, and maintenance. General operation and service guidance is also provided to promote a complete understanding of snowmobile mechanics. This manual remains an essential resource for professionals and serious enthusiasts working on vintage snowmobiles.
