The 1976 John Deere Liquidator has become quite a flagship for Deere snowmobile collectors. There are several beautiful restorations making the show circuit. In general, the engine reliability has often been maligned. This creates a concern in regards to riding them. There were issues dealing with the cam grinding of the pistons. This occurred because of the additional bulk added to the engine block after Dreyfuss design stylized the engine after reliability testing. Newly designed pistons were available in DEC75 which eliminated the concern. In addition, there was a Product Improvement Progrsm (PIP) that included the new piston installation by a Horicon factory team in AUG76. My personal belief is that most engine failures, after installation of the revised pistons, related to poor jetting.

I would also like to add that the 1976 Liquifire engines suffered a similar malady due to the added mass to the block changing expansion characteristics. These also received revised pistons to gain engine reliability.
