Is this a converted tucker or a more exotic type? Thanks.

That snow bear looks like a modern day version of the Bombardier b-12's.

 

[the old trucker]

It appears to work on the same principal. Only smaller & uses regular snowmobile parts by the look of it.
OT.

VERY EXOTIC! We stopped and talked to the guy who has this. His name is Don ( he is a former thiokol employee!!!) and he build this! Tracks are his one off creation. He also build the plow from scratch.. He has heat, A/C, and cruise control (which he frequently uses!)..the tracks now have over 4000 miles on them and it is capable of sustained 40 mph speeds!

I am going to try to get him to join our little group here and write about his build!

[MNoutdoors RIP]

very good post, sofaloafer it looks like he may have used a plastic material
for the cleats? and the same for the sprockets? the design is some what like the unitrack units, the military had, there is a post on here somewhere, they rode on the wheels like that under the sprockets, but they thet had all rubber tracks the only thing he needs is a stop to keep them from catching the fenders........ very cool build........

 

[MNoutdoors RIP]

[couchloafer]

nice find PB!

 

[couchloafer]

Found "this" in Montana.....tucker pontoons, not sure about the rest

 

[mattfidaho]

Well the front half looks like a late 70s early 80s model tucker 1342, 1642 or maybe 1542-ME and it looks like they made a passenger cab for it...

Nice find..

 

[MNoutdoors RIP]

why is painted a Kristy Color? must have owned by a Girl

 

[NorthernRedneck]

Yup...no mistaking Kristi pink......

....and Boggie can prove this too, since he's probably got the correct paint codes for every snowcat out there listed in a master book at his shop....

I believe it's listed in alphabetical order under Purdy Pink...yep......right there....Kristi Snowcat

Seen this at a "Semi Truck" truck show, I know it's not a rare find, but still pretty cool to look at.
