Kristi KT7 restoration pictures

[Melensdad]

So Are you working on your "Cornfield Flyer" ? Last I heard ,you were talking about new paint .

Well as you know, I was considering high visibility blue, but since the Snow Trac is such a versitile machine, I figured that I might be able to use it for duck & goose hunting. So I'm thinking that I could just drive it right into position and wait for the birds, but obviously not if I painted it blue. So I contacted the folks at Realtree Camo, they suggested a vinyl and fabric combination that is used on boats, pickups, etc. And I could simply shoot out of the large sunroof opening.

 

[Snowcat Operations]

Now your talking! You could pull behind it all you decoys.

 

[BigAl]

Just be real careful where you park it or you may spend all summer trying to find it again .

I expect(demand) that Snot Trac of yours to be completed and you to bring it out West this winter .If you don't ,I think you should change the name from Snow Trac so you do not embarrass the other poor Snot Trac owners .

It might run great around 8" ears of corn, but I think it is time to try it out in real snow . What is it anyway ??? A farm implement or snow machine ????

For God's sake man , get some pride !!!! You are starting to embarrass us . Stand up and be counted as a real man ,not as some "short pants corn picker produce seller" from Indiana .

 

[Melensdad]

I expect(demand) that Snot Trac of yours to be completed and you to bring it out West this winter

We have dreams of taking it to Wisconsin. That is west & north too!

Wisconsin ????? Boy Bob , Don't over do it . And watch out for Rabid milk cows . So you gonna run her in a cheese factory ??? That will sure test her out good .

I am starting to worry about you . You been eating the crayons at Art Time in Daycare again ?? Cause you all plugged up and full of Poo ,<-( English for Sh#t) .

Why don't you hop a plane and come out here and help me install this motor in the KT7 today . It is going to be hot !!!! My dog just went by chasing the cat and they were both walking . Man that is hot !!!

 

[Melensdad]

Wisconsin ????? Boy Bob , Don't over do it .

I dream big!

I had not considered a cheese factory, but I was going to hit "The Brat Stop" up on I-94 for some heaven on a bun, slathered with mustard, saurkraut and onions.

 

[Snowcat Operations]

Now that sounds like a good dog! You should have a Snow Trac meet in there parking lot. So are you going to take BigAl up on his challenge? Will you drive West and meet us somewhere we can have a shoot out? Aspin Maybe? Ely Nevada? How about Crater Lake Oregon. I am thinking of having a Snowcat Jamboree there this winter. He has challenged you BOB. Dont sit there and take crAp from a bath tub on tracks owner!

 

[Melensdad]

I told you a while back that if there was enough lead time I would consider driving out there for a Snow Trac stomps on a Kristi meeting. Heck I'll even bring BigAl an emergency flair gun to mark the spot in the parking lot where his Kristi gets stuck. You have to promise to bring a bunch of straws so one of us Snow Trac owners, who draws the short straw, can go back and help him winch the plastic tub back onto its show trailer!

I'm not sure of the rules here but I didn't believe your neighboring town of Wisconsin, IN counted. That's corn country too...

 

[BigAl]

He has challenged you BOB. Dont sit there and take crAp from a bath tub on tracks owner!

Ole Bob ain't gonna do poo . He'll just sit around in his knickers ( short pants) and talk about the rough conditions in the cornfield . I even heard they had Avalanche warning up one day for falling ears of corn .
Tell you what Bob .

This Winter
My ranch in Idaho
Hot Springs
Elk in the front meadow
Hundreds if not thousands of miles of trail to cat on
Mike can be the referee
Drinks on the Covered deck with our feet up on the outside fire pit relaxing .
All the crayons you can eat .

 

[Melensdad]

All the crayons you can eat .

Have you tried a "Sharpie" yet? Them are good eatin too!

 

[BigAl]

WE only have 3 bedrooms at the ranch house but there is a little hotel in town and a B& B just a 1/2 mile away and we have lots of room for sleeping bags . They also have cabins at the hot springs . So we could take that over for a few days too . So maybe we just better make this a "open to all" type of meet . WE need witnesses when I correctly sit all Snow Trac owners back in their proper place . Behind Me !!! . I might as well take care of Mtntopper and his ruthless gang of misfits too at the same time ,while I am at it .

 

[Av8r3400]

Bring 'em over.

I can show you what snow looks like, Bob. You can also see why we say "California cows may be happy, but they can't make cheese worth a crap."

 

[Snowcat Operations]

LMAO! Man ok its official then. BOB has been called out by BigAl (along with the rest of us non KT-7 bathtub owners. OK so Its Idaho for the meet. BOb that gives you time to plan your vacation and SNOW TRAC STOMPS ON KRISTI side trip. I will of course be there to supervise the recovery of the Kristi I I mean the proceedings. No guns are to be worn on the hip unless of course you want to. Also no beer is to be drinken until the bottles are completely open. NO BigAl no more trying to show off and opening the bottle by breaking it on your head . If I recall correctly thats what started you dogs fighting last time I was with you. Seems they got confused as to who attacked you and started on each other! BOB you are to bring the corn. How does December sound for the festivals?

 

[mtntopper]

I might as well take care of Mtntopper and his ruthless gang of misfits too at the same time ,while I am at it .

You do realize, I have been really polite to you lately and kept my mouth shut as Bob and Mike were doing a great job without any help. Ruthless gang of misfits!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are digging a hole in the snow that will be impossible for you to escape from. The gang may just have to show up and watch the burial proceedings and give the eulogy.

I will just sit back and watch as I know that when you guys are done nothing will be settled, just lots of excuses. I can already hear them now, such as the snow was too soft, or too wet, or too deep, or too cold, or too warm, or momma won’t let me play with you guys anymore as you play too rough……

 

[mtntopper]

I see the spell checker changes BigAl to BigUgly.....The spell checker must know some secrets that we don't. Hey BigAl an explanation is in order.

 

[Melensdad]

BOB you are to bring the corn.

Apparently I need to remind you all of the golden rule of crop rotation. This year we are planting SOYBEANS. Corn removes nutrients from the soil, soybeans replaces it. Rotate your crops. Then feed the crops to the cows. The only beef that qualifies as 'prime' is beef that is finished off on grains. Grass fed beef simply doesn't have the taste or marbling to qualify.

Now we know that any of the beef that is Idaho is going to be grass fed. So how about I bring some good corn fed beef and we can skip the corn on the cob completely!

Afterall, if the cows ate the corn, then it is just redundant for us to do it too

WE only have 3 bedrooms at the ranch house but there is a little hotel in town

Sounds good to me, I'd rather stay in a hotel. There is a much better chance that I'd have running water & flush toilet at the hotel than at your house. Besides, the thought of you sleepwalking in the nude just scares the heck out of me

You do realize, I have been really polite

Yes I did. Have you been feeling ill? It's not like you to be polite

So what kinds of speeds can a Snow Trac achieve?

It depends on the sprockets, but some of them could go up to about 25mph. Lyndon would probably know the actual answer by model & year?

 

[Snowcat Operations]

BigAl will be Big and done by the time the Snow Trac is done with him. I cant wait tow him out! I have bought a special tow strap just for BigAl! Really, I did! BOB dont let us down. You have to show up now!

 

[Snowcat Operations]

Bob you bring the steaks then . I will bring my tow strap and BigAl can leave all the excuses at home!

​

 

[Snowcat Operations]

Can we make this the first Forums Forums snowcat meet? (and annaul Kristi STOMP?)

 

[BigAl]

Evening Guys ,

Whoa !!! You boys have been busy since I left the play pen . All this anger and insults????? I wonder what caused all that . And Mtntopper the sun was in my eyes too . Is that a good excuse ???

Come on Guys " Show me the Love "

Well it looks like a few good ole boys may be coming to Idaho to be properly corrected in their thinking by a vastly superior Kristi KT7 ( Yetti Edition) .

And yes Chris I have made a few changes in horse power and the KT7 is fast . Really fast . In fact ,if my calculations are correct I should be able to break 85 MPH ,downhill and over cliffs . Anyone else running a Banks Turbo in there snow Cat ??? I would tell you more ,but the government has ask me to keep this a secret as to its real top speed . I would not want to piss off ole George B now .


Today was the day I have been looking forward to for some time . The engine is securely bolted into the mounts . Everything bolted and slid into place the first time . My son came over and helped me or I would proably still be out there . With him directing and me raising and lower the engine by using my neighbors tractor it was a piece of cake .

I am so happy , I could kiss a Snow Trac owner on the mouth . Ok maybe not that happy ,but pretty happy .

Now it is time to start reattaching the tin that makes up the air supply to the radiator .

I think tomorrow I will go over everything to just make sure I have not forgotten anything .

I may even turn over a new leaf and stop insulting Snow Trac owners . Ok I lied , I am still going to do that !

Here are three pictures of my success .

 

[BigAl]

The gang may just have to show up and watch the burial proceedings and give the eulogy.

Mtntopper ,
Do you really think your snow cat could be towed that fall without falling apart ??? We would love to have you join us . You can ride with me if you are afraid of losing too many parts off your LMC . What does LMC stand for again ???? Oh yea "Lousy Maintained Condition "
Have a great day

 

[BigAl]

And one more thing ! I ain't eaten no steaks that Bob S brings until I know what he did with that Racoon he shot !!!

I'm not as stupid as I look . No wait .... that doesn't sound right .... Anyway we want proof it is from a cow !

 

[BigAl]

Caroth ,
Glad to see you back . You been kinda quiet .

20 MPH in a KT7 ???? Man I go faster than that standing still . This ain't no Snow Trac or LMC were talking about. This is the "Yetti Edition" Kristi KT7 .The last real American Made snow Cat . God Bless America !!!

This is a real "He Man snow Cat" ,not a wanna be like those other guys .
I even heard from Mouse Ear Mike's wife that Mikey is a Cross Dresser and wears little lacy under garments when he drives his Snot Trac

 

[Snowcat Operations]

OK that does it. I wont be bringing my special Kristi recovery strap! You can walk out! No wait I change my mind. I will hook up to pull you out. Get a picture and then disconnect! And for the record I dont wear anything when I'm driving my Snow Master! I am after all the only member of the Polar bears in Ely Nevada!

 

[Snowcat Operations]

​

 

[BigAl]

OK that does it. I wont be bringing my special Kristi recovery strap!

Mike,
Keep that strap in the original shipping package and it will be worth more as a unused antique .

You know ,I believe Lyndon should come down from the North Slope and supervise the "ASS <-( English for Arse) Kicking" his Snow Tracs are about to recieve . He is the "Darth Vader" of Snow Tracs owners .

Hmmm... lets see... what else .... Oh yea !!!! Kristi is a superior America made product ! God Bless Mother, baseball & apple pie !

Good Morning Boy's & Girl's . Coffee is on and the door's open

 

[Snowcat Operations]

I agree. LYNDON should be the official judge. That way I can get in on the ASS WHOOPEN you are about to recieve. I will mount my video camera in the back so I can get the look on you face as you get burried under my roosts!

Oh yea !! Do I look worried ??? Between Bob S's "Cornfeild Flyer" and your "Cactus Cruncher Special" I am hoping Mtntopper shows up and just maybe that ole dilapidated rust bucket he has ,will give me something to wipe my shoes on .

 

[Snowcat Operations]

Uhhuh uhhuh
