Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Puma 440 Snowmobile (1970-1973)
The Arctic Cat Puma 440, produced from 1970 to 1973, was a popular snowmobile known for its robust performance. Throughout its production, this model saw notable variations in its engine configurations and available trims, reflecting Arctic Cat's continuous development during this era. Initially, the 1970 Puma 440 featured a Hirth 440 cc engine, with a performance-oriented 'Mod' trim also available. The 1971 model year brought significant diversification, introducing Sachs SA2/440 (437cc) and Kawasaki T1A440S1 (440cc) engines, notably in the 'Puma Axial Flow' variant, alongside a Hirth-powered 'Mod' trim. By 1973, the Kawasaki T1B440S1 436cc engine became a standard offering for the 'Puma PM-440', indicating a shift in primary engine suppliers over these years. These changes primarily involved engine manufacturers and specific trim packages, rather than a complete platform redesign. FAQ:
