Well ,i finally got it all greased and ready to go !!!!!! including umpteen track rollers. If it snows as much as it rained here this summer i may need it as my main vehicle this winter !!!

are the rollers overly big? or are they 1".

reason i ask is there is a 1/2 of drum of big rollers that float around the midwest. they cam out of the tucker dealer in MN and are rumored to be in hiding in a failing packard dealership in the U.P.

Mike, They appear to be the 1" size ,same as the ones on my spare tracks.The rollers are pretty good,they are flat for the most part,but some of the flange edges are sharp enough to shave with !! I blame that on the long pontoons and a crooked road going up Mt. Washington.Don

So the sharpened rolers are ice scrape-ers. Newer tuckers have ice breakers. Lets assume they have 50 hours left in them and run-em!

Mike,Its just the upper edge,the flanges taper to almost full width on the bottoms,and they will get run .

Thats pretty cool!!,its probably the machine that Phil drove when he was in the Air Force, But Tucker never said it went to Alaska. They said it was special built for the Air Force to use on Mt Washington.Special “FLAT DECK”743 with special ice grousers They did say the next 25 743 machines were going to Alaska and they all had the “HEMI” motors in them.Back when i was putting a lombard together that ended up in the N.H. snowmobile museum i was working beside the thiokol spryte that Phil ran ,for some reason it was in Lincoln at Clarks,at that time Ed Clark was general manager of the cog railway, maybe they were doing something on it not sure.
