Looking for a bit of the past

not to be cute or anything like that,
probably sold at auction, maybe a midwest phone company bought it, then after they were done with it, maybe an employee got it for nothing, then found out his wife's mother wasn't doing well, and they needed move back to NC and take care of her, up they packed, taking the tucker with them, thinking they would only be there a couple years and mom would be put in a home, it didn't go as plan, she lived another 25 years and they never moved back to Montana as they had hoped, so, that is one way you get a snow cat in NC, another, FYI, the mountains in NC do get snow once in a while and a guy who services radio/repeater towers needed a way up on one of those rare snowy days in NC, so, he bought it on purpose to use,
quite sure there are many better stories as to how you get a snow cat to NC, just lucky you have one in NC, great story to tell, the facts don't matter, just the quality of the story
if it were me, I would become the best story teller ever and have fun with it on the beaches of NC

We have found six different owners so far in our search on this machine. Sold in Oregon 1957 then Washingon, Canada and Alaska. It spent 15 years in South Carolina parked outside and ended up in Concord North Carolina. Advancing! Looking for any tracks or track sections for this machine.
You might be able to buy some new rollers from this individual.

Usually it means the bigger displacement engine (32 instead of 30) and a four speed NPG transmission. Sometimes extra leaves in springs and heaver fifth wheels. The "A" indicates one inch rollers. '57 is probably too early for replaceable rails. They were available in '59.

A good read.
Yes indeed...The great Blizzard of 93 in March no less.
One can certainly come up with a great story to go with the Tucker...
