A Snow Cat Tour

Found in Rock Springs, WY. Just more Bomb-bard-deers. Nothing to see, move along...

Now you are beginning to sound like your avatar photo. Does it rub off?

Bombardiers are almost equal to Thiokols....:thumb: and slightly more snow cat than a Krusti which is one rung barely above snow shoes....:poke:
 
:France: :flagcan: Almost french is right! French up here is half english anyways. I'm part french(sure la cote due famile de ma mere) But don't tell anyone about that. It's our secret, I don't like to advertise it, if ya know wut a mean!

Bob, all I can say is. C'est Bob Pierce, Sure ne pense pas bien ces days.I pense qu'il a mis sa tête où il est bon de ne pas se airto son cerveau, et pas beaucoup de lumière.:yum: :yum:

It says something like have a nice day.:moon:
 
Bob My French is not great these days BUT I think he said you have your head up your ass!

It is Bob Pierce, Sure does not think definitely of this days. I think that he put the head where is good of not not air to the cerebrum, and not a lot of light.


Either that or Boggie is a product of the French school system. There just as good as there military! But there track and field team always come in last because the runners always run away from the finish line or pass out from the sound of the starters pistol!
 
Oh, great. Another one. Near Summit Park, UT, I-80 exit 140. Gorgoza Snowpark www.gorgozapark.com.

Why do you even bother with the Bombardiers? There French!

Agreed! I run a smaller version of that one on occassion. Not impressed! I like the interior cab comfort and quietness over the Lamtrac I run but the Lamtrac will just plain walk circles around it in the deep stuff.(and that's pulling a 10ft drag full of snow). The Lamtrac is very similar to the Tuckers in the deep stuff though the tucker may climb a little better when pulling a drag.

Like I said, I run a bumb-bar-deer but if given a choice, I'd go with another make. Personally, I prefer the four track system but it's all in what you like. They(two track systems)do have their advantages though such as turning radius.
 
What you said about the bomb-bar-deer sparked a memory. My detachment in AK had an Imp and a Spryte. When they were down for PMRs, we would sometimes borrow the security detachments bomb-bar-deer. We just couldn't run it like the Thiokols, too fragile. It did have a nicer interior but it just couldn't push through the brush and bust down saplings like the Thiokols. Not that knocking over small trees should be a snowcat requirement, we just had a large variety of terrain to negotiate.

Got in touch with the mechanic at the yard from here http://www.forumsforums.com/3_9/showpost.php?p=108505&postcount=144

I will be meeting with the owner tomorrow. Everyone got there wish list ready? Looks like pretty much anything Thiokol, DMC/LMC/VMC, he's got it. Almost everything's for sale, cats, diffs, tracks, wheels, etc. Tell me what you want and I'll get a price from him. After tomorrow I'll post his contact info and you can start calling yourselves. He has no internet presence and has done no advertising, just word-of-mouth, until now!

Meanwhile, what is this?

If he's got a running cat that he thinks he'll never be able to sell and just wants to getit out of his yard, tell him I'd be more than willing to take it off his hands. He could look at it as sort of a charitable donation.:yum:
 
Should have contact info, cats, and parts prices this weekend. Meanwhile, seen in Magna, UT...

Oooooh, post #1000 for me. Do I get a cookie? :festive: :sun1: :yea_!!:

More from Magna, UT. Special note on the Gama Goat, says "CS 2" on the left front. Used in the movie "City Slickers 2", or so I'm told. Check out that last one. It's a sled on a sled on a sled on a flatbed...ahhh... sled.
