Arctic cat 2008 f5 snowmobile can?

I am looking for a can for my Arctic cat 2008 F5. I have not had any luck in finding one. So do you know what website I could look at?|||Try Jaws or Dynoport...





If you're looking for an aftermarket can, you usually can't get them through Dennis Kirk or the like, you have to go straight through the manufacturer. We've been lucky and found both our cans on ebay for much less than retail, so try there too! Good luck!

What do you think of Arctic Cat ATVs?

they arn't my favorite.|||I think they're great for rock crawling because of the very high ground clearance and i like the new thundercat because of the 1000cc engine but the speed isnt so great. They're very heavy machines and they dont handle the best either. The race machines I really dont have an opinion on those.|||The people at the parts counter probably hate them - the parts diagrams are difficult to view :-)


I hate working on the engines - they're not mechanic friendly.


They do what they're made for.


So from an owners point of view, they're OK machines.|||anything IS BETTER THAN A POLARIS





The Arctic Cat's use Suzuki Engines, 400-500-700 cc utility|||They are slightly better than a Polaris.








Bart, they are barely better

Does anyone know when the Skidoo and Arctic Cat snowmobiles were invented? I'?

I'm doing a research paper on the snowmobile and am having a hard time finding the dates for which those two snowmobiles came about. I have the year for when the Polaris snowmobile came out, just can't find the year for the other two. I greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to help me out on this one! Thank you so much!!|||Skidoo 1959

1962: Birth of Arctic Cat





Polar Manufacturing opened its doors on January 2, 1961, and initially manufactured electric steam cleaners and a device to kill insects called 'Bug-O-Vac' to raise enough money to begin snowmobile production in earnest. The first snowmobile, the 'New Polar 500,' was completed by the end of the year and marketed as a utility model for use by forestry, power and light, telephone, and oil exploration companies. Although Hetteen had wanted to develop snowmobiles as a recreational product nearly from the outset of his involvement with the machines, he knew he needed to develop a need for snowmobiles before he could begin to inspire a desire for them. In 1962, after its inaugural year of business, Polar Manufacturing was renamed Arctic Enterprises, Inc.. That year it introduced the red 'Arctic Cat 100,' the first front-engined sport sled in the United States, which Hetteen referred to as the 'Tin Lizzie.' Concurrent with the introduction of the Arctic Cat 100, a distribution network was established to carry the machine to distant markets, as Hetteen had always hoped. Although the New Polar 500 had been the first model produced, the Arctic Cat 100 represented the beginning of an era for both Arctic Enterprises and snowmobile enthusiasts across the country, ushering in a new winter sport and launching the Arctic Cat tradition.D|||Jamaica mon.


Edit: Sorry I wasn't wearing my glasses. I thought you said where. I have no idea when these two companies started making snow mobiles.|||Ski-Doo - 1959
