That is awesome! I can look at that last picture and hear the voice of Super Dave Osbourne saying " I'm in a lot of pain here..." :0 :)

good times!
 
Another thing I found out is that yellow is factory paint job. Those doors bother me as well. The paint is so far off now will need to do the whole thing again.

Maybe I will bring it to Tuckerville carry on and leave it for the summer.

take a number and stand in line, tuckerland has given me a strict time line to follow!

out here, the yellow paint jobs were found on the Bell phone company sno-cats, and tucker sold a large numbers to Bell
 
Either over the handle bars, roll over, or he falls off the back . Cool but real tippy. If the trail master keeps up no problems and we can cruise for miles at a max of 10 mph.

Headed up to my friends camp in warren nh today. Thats where Tucker and I first met long time ago. I'll take some pics of its prior living conditions .
 
My brothers had a moto-ski little skipper when they were young,moto-ski,s version of the arctic cat kitty cat. Lots of snow still in the woods around Warren, Central N.H. snowmobile club grooms over into Warren. Have fun . Did you get the tucker off Dave Larue ??? Don
 
I did. Was just talking to him this am about your Tucker find and turns you know each other. There's some Tucker gems out here still waiting to be discovered.

This is the camp we use next door to Dave . Fell in love with his Tucker when I was kid and finally got it from him.

My neighbor owned this camp and sold it to my buddy's brother early 90,s.

Dave and I deal back and forth on antique firearms !!!:smile: I got a 1949 Case SC like the one in the picture,he would like to get off me also !!!:wink: Don
 
Great find. That tractor came with the deal. Let me know if that other case sc you got comes up for grabs.

Tucker hunter all over this weekend. Got one lead marinating up here !
 
A few years ago someone brought their portable shingle mill to Lamson Farm Day in MV. I had never seen one (and honestly never put too much thought into how they were mass produced a hundred years ago). I bet I stared for over 30 minutes at that thing working. Incredible ingenuity to figure out what was needed to make one work correctly!
 
Dave Has got a Lane shingle mill right next to your camp !:biggrin: among a bunch of other old pieces of iron !!! I used to use my mill pretty steady ,only once in a while now. Don
 
Yup. Dave wants to mill some boards up for the back of my Tucker. Just need to pick a wood. Got Dave to take a ride on the snowmobiles with us Saturday night. Mint 91 Wildcat riding with modern rocketships. He can ride with the best.

There is a guy Dan Moore out of Ludlow VT Barker Farm?. He is at Fryeburg fair with a shingle mill and some other stuff every year. Real old and some is steam powered.

Sold him a vintage Avalon a few years ago. In an episode of American Pickers they went to his farm and I saw it in the back.

That SC is real nice. We have the head off the one at the camp sitting in the outhouse. Motor is locked marinating in mystery oil!

Cool old stuff is a small world.
 
:biggrin:I know Dan,been to his farm a few times, he has a tractor show every year,hes into old Cletrac crawlers,he wanted to buy the big Cletrac i have years ago.:biggrin: its a small world for sure.
 
Tucker is hibernating for abit while I wrap up this project to make room for pontoon work.

Built the new box using coosa board. Very cool product. 30% lighter than plywood and is all composite. Sand able and holds screws. Will all get wrapped in mat.

Lobster on the deck soon.

Drawback is 300$ per sheet!

Awesome.
Rock-free...
Ironically the charter guys pile rocks in the bottom to try to keep the tourist from chumming for salmon and trout on lake Michigan....
Rock-full? ie full of rocks
 
we had large stabilizers in Kodiak on the crab boat. All they did was slow the roll some and screw up your sea legs.
 
two weeks ago could ride my sleds around the back yard still. Today 70's and riding the Harley in a T shirt!

Got to love New England. Sending our winter wishes west to the meow at this point!
