A shaft comes out of each side of the "T box" & connects to a production EXT chaincase on each side of the machine.The Boss Cat III uses many production parts such as skis,engines,tachs,tunnels, belt guards & other misc. parts.It's interesting to note that the drive clutches are not Arctic Cat's own, it had Comet drive clutches.

It was retired in 74 with no more USSA speed runs. Vaughn Spurlock owned both the Boss Cat II and Boss Cat III for many years. Both sleds were sold to Rod Everts who held on to them for 10 years. The Warning family bought both in 2004. As of 2005 the Boss Cat III had not been run since 1974 but all that will change soon. The restoration of this sled is going well and will be shown and run in the near future. The first page of pictures is from the 73-74 seasons. The second page is pictures from the 80's and 90's. A third page of the restoration will be coming soon. |
