SNOW BUG MONO-SKI SLED
UNTESTED
The very first Snowbug-snowmobile was fully developed and tested in Sudbury, Ontario, during the winter of 1957, one year before Armand Bombardier perfected his first Ski-Doo in 1958, Hetteen brothers from Minnesota built the first Polaris Sno Traveler in the winter of 1954-55.
It can be fairly argued however that Schraeder’s experimental model pictured on page 4 was in fact a genuine snowmobile with an endless track and ski, features which define a snowmachine. This placed Schraeder at the forefront in the field of snowmobiles.
During the first years, Snowbugs were hand-built. At the time, Schraeder was a hard working electrical maintenance employee at Inco, while Rebellato, who still resides in Sudbury, worked as a supervisor at Noront Steel, a position he held from 1946 to 1964. This snowmobile was the result of years of tireless experimentation with various prototypes, such as the one Schraeder apparently built using two McCullough chain saw motors in the early 1950s.
This flat bottomed prototype Snowbug was powered by a five-pound, 6 hp air-cooled West Bend motor. The snowmobile weighed over 100 pounds and could be dismantled within a few minutes as it was made from three main parts: the track, the cab and the ski section.
