Model T, old tracked vehicle meet - ride

trailbuilder · Jan 9, 2015

Hey all,

We are having a Model T, Model A, old tracked vehicle, antique snowmobile meet on January 17th and 18th this year. All are welcome to come. We have trails on about 50 acres of land. On Sunday the 18th we have a special use permit that allows unregistered snow traveling vehicles to ride on the local snowmobile trails. We will be going for a ride to a local restaurant and hopefully back. This ride will be about 10 miles or the brave ones can go on a 35 mile loop.

The meet will be held at 73 Laundromat Rd. Thornton N.H.

Directions: Exit 29 off I93, Left (North) on US. Rt. 3 for aprox. 1/2 mile. Turn left on Laundromat Rd. We are about 1/3 of a mile on left.

There is no charge for admission. The local snowmobile club will be selling food on the 17th.

let me know if you would like to bring a machine. Thanks, Duane

Pixie, i must have just missed you i was there in the morning for a couple hours, and then i came back with Cheryl to take pictures around 1:00, some pretty nice machines ,maybe more Bombers will show up tomorrow.John Spense broke the axle in his yellow tucker ,but when i got back him and Dave had it running again. Glad you made it down. I'm going back tomorrow,and next year there will be a Lombard there !!!! :smile:

The hot one has to small a radiator for that v8 engine,other then that it never looked that good from the factory. You didn't take any pictures of the spryte and packmaster parked near the woods, i hope they get them running for next year. :smile:

pixie · Jan 17, 2015

I agree on not that good looking from the factory but it's pretty all over, now

No, I didn't look around the edges very hard. I do see a Spryte in the background of a picture and there was an old Imp.

trailbuilder · Jan 17, 2015

thanks for posting the pictures Pixie. Sorry I did not get to meet you today, I was giving rides most of the day. I was the one in the newer Pisten Bulley and sometimes in the Imp. We all had a great time so it looks like we will do it again next year.

trailbuilder · Jan 17, 2015

Loggah, If you bring one of your lombards , Both of the Thiokols will be running. And I will move them for you. Now we have to work on Murrey and there would be a gas, diesel and a steam Lombard all together.

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

I dont know as Murray has much to say on the steamer,thats Daves baby !!!! :smile:

Heres a few pictures that Cheryl took.Dave Hiltz model "T"

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

Dave Uhlmans Tucker with underbelly grader blade.

Allen Johnstons model"A" with a big ugly gomer standing in front of it :biggrin:

John Spences tucker back in operating condition after fixing the broken axle

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

Heres a few more of the old model "T" stuff.

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

A couple more tuckers ,and a few bombardiers!! :wink:

The Bombardiers were a little scarce this year,if the meet is held again next year maybe more will show up !!! :smile:

Don

pixie · Jan 18, 2015

Guess I was dazed by all the trackstuff : I didn't even notice the underbelly blade on the Tucker.
Glad that Tucker is back together.

You can see an older Spryte on the sidelines and I think there's a Packmaster 2100 next to it.

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

Theres the 2100 packmaster,beside the spryte,Did that bring back old memories ?? :biggrin:

Its a wonder that long tucker stayed together period,they were not much of a blade machine back then, it belongs to Dave Uhlman also ,barely fits on his trailer.

pixie · Jan 18, 2015

Ya, lots of white-knuckle moments in an old Packmaster.

Kristi Kt-4 · Jan 18, 2015

Mike

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

Thats a snow bug,serial number 17 or 18, not sure the owner owns two of them. This one actually belonged to my fathers first cousin originally.Murray Clark owns it,i should have had Cheryl get better pictures of it. The owner actually owns a couple military Weasels ,and is looking for weasel stuff if anyone has any.

Kristi Kt-4 · Jan 18, 2015

Thanks Loggah.... I have a brother to that one! :wow:

loggah · Jan 18, 2015

I see you got a bolens husky also, the snowcat chevy or chrysler powered? I remember back in the 70's tucker brought over a demo machine with a 327 chevy,5 speed and dual exhaust,it sure sounded nice !!! :smile:

Alaska Snow Cat · Jan 18, 2015

The Tucker has a 350 Chevy.... its a 1970 442A and it gets lots of compliments on its bark. That pic was from a vintage snowmobile show yesterday.

I'm on the wrong side of the world but the tundra up here is covered with old abandoned weasels.
