While driving up to the Old Forge Snodeo in New York a sign on the side of the road in the small town of Barneveld caught my eye. Hudons Sled Salvage, huh? I’ve heard of them before. I’ve got some time so let’s stop in and for a minute or two and say hi. No big deal, just a few minutes and then I will be straight back on my way again. Do you remember the theme song from Gilligan’s Island? Well it soon became a three hour tour! Honestly though, who can really get excited about sled parts? Parts is parts, right? Well not at Hudon’s! Parts are a way of life for these folks and soon you will know why. The staff greeted me warmly including Mr Hudon’s daughter Nicole. Staff members Dave, Lory and Roger began to tell tales of a store that’s been around since 1965. Dan Hudon started small and carried such brands as John Deere, Polans, Blue Goose, and Otter snowmobiles. Dang, never heard of them boys before! He worked his way up to be one of the largest, if not largest salvage yards on the East Coast.

Maybe the largest east of the Mississippi. The very large and warm showroom (radiant heat in the floors) has vintage Twisters, SRX, Super mod Kitty Kats and even a sled from Alaska that had a chewed up seat from sled dogs.

Cats For Sale In Nairobi KenyaI’m a gear nut, so this right up my alley. Oh well, the show will have to wait, I’m knee deep in parts! The shear volume of this place will blow you away as you wind your way through three floors of new, used, and vintage parts. And don’t forget the mystery trailers out back!

Okay, so what makes this place so special you ask? All the staff have a real passion for the sport. You can just feel the energy. Passion is great but what else separates this salvage yard from the others? Okay, I’ll bite – what could it be? Parts haven’t changed much and everybody needs some now and then. What else is there? They do have a deer in the back storeroom! It’s not real but probably got caught chasing a snowmobile and ended up there Ha, ha! Let me give you some quick facts about the place. Whew, what a place!
