Snowmachine junkyards, fleabay and craigslist. I'd say on the early 90's and newer machines parts aren't too hard to find. 80's vintage a bit tougher, and the 70's sleds are more of a restoration deal than something I'd want for remote travel.

You should be able to find an older sled in good condtion for under $2k.

I'd really like to own a pair of machines, but am NOT willing to dump $12K+ apiece on 'em. I just want reliable back country transportation, and as fast as they depreciate, the used market likely holds some bargains if I know what to look for.

Ideally, I'd like a skid-doo Tundra, but they're pretty rare down here.
