A Snow Cat Tour

[benz9]

I've been eyeballing this one for a while, always too far to get a good look and boom, one night, just walked up and shot the sucker with the Nikon. Don't know what brand, but it's rigged for tilling and pushing, full hydrostatic, no sprockets. I'll let you guys and gals look it over.

looks like a hustler baisicaly a modified 0 radius mowing tractor with tracks attached never used one but herd they were heavy

Went to see my grand-ma this weekend to wish her happy 91, and dropped by a bone yard the next morning. Here are a few pics. I'm gonna have to go back when it's open. I need a few parts that I'm pretty sure he has.

When I went to Trois-Riviere (more like Louiseville, but the closest big city is TR) I only snapped one pic because I was in a hurry to get back to my jobsite about an hour away. These were going for 22k each and all 4 looked brand new. This is another boneyard for those looking for parts with lots of money to spare. I can give coordinates if required.

Benz can you tell me where this place is ?? It looks like it's off Highway 20 ?? Where is your job site in relation to this place ?? There used to be a small bone yard accross the hwy from Marcel Houle's place. Same exit, north side of highway. There are three or four more bone yards west of Marcel's...

OT.

I know these may not be snow cats but more all terrain tool platforms on tracks, but they are rare around here, and when I see one, I pop a picture. Says International Mining Equipment on the side, the sprockets are three times thicker than mine (10" thick) and the idler in the front is a sprocket too???

Custom Tucker at Summit Chateau near Brian Head, Utah. The family and I were out on quads in the back country about 7 miles from the ski resort and found this interesting Tucker. The boys in town refer to it as the bread box.

 

[Alaska Snow Cat]

My wife and I went for a nice saturday drive and stopped in at an antique car show in Sutton, but what really caught my eye was down the road!

The first picture is a DMC(thiokol) 3500 with a tiller.

The second picture is of a Thiokol 3700 with a factory passenger cabin which I didn't know they made but there was a data plate visible through the window that showed the whole set up.

The third picture is a Go Trac the village of Chickaloon had sitting in front of their shop.

I saw a Snow Trac also but it was quite away from the road buried in the weeds

Saw this in Rollag MN, at the Western Steam Threshers Reunion. This year honored Allis Chalmers. Somehow I got the pictures in the wrong order. Oh well!

The owner must have found a sale on white paint.

 

[benz9]

I'm pretty sure that was for winter camouflage...but just guessing here, since I've had to dress up in that color and paint my tank with white water paint on winter exercises. There should've been a huge red cross on the trailer (we don't see it).

Spotted near Warroad, MN.
This guy is modifying the suspension, bogies and other stuff for the actual owner.
He is very new to Snowcats, but does a lot of snowmobile suspension work as seen on his website...

I suspect Jake will find his way to FF soon.

Shot this very nice looking Tucker on I90 in N Idaho while going 70+ the other way.

I am 99.9% sure it's a Rotobec machine. Made in Quebec.
There latest effort was a TS 200.
It is an unreliable machine, no sprockets so if you climb a steep hill,
tires spin in tracks (i beleave the front and back tires are driving...).
The TS 200 had a 200hp Cummins engine so that was good.
Snowmobiles clubs here (Quebec) are trying to get rid of those.
For a flat land, recreative "toy", it might do well tho ...

At the repair shop, Conway, NH

 

[Broken Grouser]

Found this gem along road 110 outside of Silverton CO this fall. A 500 series modified to look like a Tucker "torpedo".

A great 1600 Trucker Terra with a custom passenger box for cat skiing at Lake Irwin near Crested Butte CO

Prinoth Husky demo machine. E. Conway, NH.

 

[snow dog]

Good find Pixie

 

[NorthernRedneck]

I've seen one of those up close. Nice looking machine. This one was used up north working on the winter roads. Looks like a different style of cleet though.

 

[pixie]

Yes, tracks are different. Looks like the grousers are similar but the tracks are wider on the one you saw, Groomerguy.

 

[lowell]
