She'd tell me that's what I bought the 80 hp case with FEL for.:D
I did mention it to her at lunch...might have been a mistake.

443's are Real Dinosaurs! and sure footed as a mountain Goat! This one's been a real temptation. I've seen one of these with a snow plow mounted in front, thats right, in front, don't ask me how, but get this one track was off the front and the owner was still plowing snow with it. It had 3 tracks and one bare pontoon with no track and it still plowed snow! It's sitting in the driveway of this little cottage at a ski area in Fairbanks. Coldest Ski Area on earth probably. Maybe one of our members in the Fairbanks area can get a picture of it.
 
Can't believe this didn't bring the "buy it now" price of $3500. Is the bottom dropping out of the antique snocat market?
