Thiokol Imp 1402 OpenTop # 129 by Nikson
Hey Everyone, Wanted to thank everyone here who provides and updates info on their projects. They are a great help to guys that start off fresh (like me :brows:) So to start off... I've got bored & tired of not being able to get there at times on my Jeep, and it was time to get a "snowcat"...
A couple of hens teeth there.

That thing would be awesome to go out on the snowmobile trails.

Welcome to the forum! Interest in snow cats usually begins with a severe head injury. That being said here are 2 threads you may be interested in about the restoration and modernization of a 1402. Things are harder to find since they changed the format on the forum so here you go. May give you some ideas.

How are you making out with this project? I have an open top 1402 that I use to get to my cabin. It doesn't have the front Boggie wheels and never had a cab. I added a second row of seating and rebuilt the tracks. It's been very reliable. Glad to see another one.
Whoot whoot. I see the mcguffy guy was talking repower. I snagged a 1402 air cooled like yours and i really like the wisconsin v4 power plant and hand clutch.
I only have a wind screen. But im thinking we need a aircooled imp thread. Turbinator mcguf, u and me and duffy from jersey maybe someday we could outnumber tuckers at an event if we tried...

I think the 1402's have gone the way of the dinosaurs. I don't think Duffy from N.J. has his anymore? I don't miss not having a cab, the visibility is great, and it keeps the sound down from the motor. I just replaced the brake bands and the missing Imp and Thiokol emblems. I also wired side marker lights. I like the Wisconsin V4. It's handy to be able to hand crank the motor if the battery has gotten low.
My Amp meter doesn't tell me much, it just shakes a little back and forth. I have an alternator with a voltage regulator on mine. My oil pressure gauge pegs when the engine is started. Is that what you see?
