Oh no. That's just how we store our snowcats in Wisconsin. They seem to come out more refreshed.

I've got another question about this 1966 Tucker 543. I've been patiently waiting for a vintage Tucker, the right style and price range and when this one came up for sale I was interested (price was a bit high) but the wide track pontoons were actually my biggest concern. Since I live in Minnesota it was great to finally have a sedan style Tucker for sale in the area but I really don't want the extra width of the wide tracks for hauling purposes and I don't feel it is needed in the mid-west. What's the opinion of others, are the wide tracks desirable? I kept the contact info from the seller and thought about making him an offer ($6k sounded good) but is there a good chance of finding a set of normal width pontoons and swapping?
 
We ran the standard width pontoon on a 443 in the deepest-lightest snow possible in the Sierra Nevada. It always did a great job. Even sidehill on ice, it did just fine. The wider width would be an added plus, but not necessary in my opinion. We hauled the standard width pontoon Tucker on a "car-trailer" and could take it anywhere. My only complaint with the old gal was greasing the 262 rollers!

As for changing the pontoons and track system, it sounds like allot of work. Better get all the parts before you begin. The only benefit would be the narrower width and possible ease of transport.

Yep, $6K is fair
 
I don't have much experience with fresh powder here in Massachusetts but my regular width pontoons went up and through everything 27" fresh inches and feet of drifts. I guess if you were in powder all day width might be good but I agree narrow for trailer, storage, and maneuverability.

You would be able to find the pontoons, but finding narrow 400 series track would be difficult. Finding track WITH good rollers could be damn near impossible. :unsure:
