I could see the K-O-H-L-E-R on the side of the motor but had no idea it was a snowmobil engine.

I could have used the other side but that would have given the game away ::).

Its a Holder....



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HOLDER-250-Motorcycle-Very-Rare-mx-dirt-bike_W0QQitemZ120232371413QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120232371413

The ad gives no info. I don't know if its a one off, prototype or small run. Although I'm betting a 'one off' with a very convincing lettering on the tank  ;) :).

An interesting combination of some 'one off' engineering like the brake pedal, and some very dodgey details like the wiring.

Are they Greeves forks on home mades?

Not much info  but Rick "Super Hunky" Siemen has stuff on the HOLDER FIELD & TRIAL 133.
 Made in the US of A and were a sports bike and pretty rare.

Not Greeves front forks, look rough & ready, probably home made

Maybe a Tillitson pumper as fitted to a Kohler engine on the small transportable field bin grain auger in the farmers yard over the road. Looks very similar engine but mounted to a reduction box. The Holder.. Hmm in my opinion unique but just pus ugly and most likely ran and handled like that too.  :D

Most noticably in the L/H photo, there'd be bugger all cooling to the fins - the barrel and head are (almost) completely encased/enclosed. ???
Is that typical of snow-mobile motors?
