POLL: What brand snowcat do you own?

[rotorhead]

Will post pics later today as I am back in the shop to continue working on the ole girl, she won't look like much though, needs paint and etc. but she will run.

 

[rotorhead]

Here is my 1964 1200 ser# 85 with full body extension built out of aluminum hiway signs 3/16 thick. Maybe someone could chime in on the tracks as they don't look the same as others of this vintage. Also could someone tell me anything on the types of brake slave cylinder set up these are as they are not the same as in the manual. Thanks in advance

lurked around this forum for a few years now, planned on building a snow cat but I came across this machine 2 months ago for cheaper then I could build a snowcat. its a 1989 BR100+ with the 32" tracks and just shy of 1700 hrs on the meter. I redid the body work that was already started, sprayed it , changed the starter, tidied up the wiring and a few other things, added a 2" receiver hitch , changed the headlights to halogen , added some LED light bars and I plan to build a plow for it and add hydraulics.

before.


after.

looks good

 

[Northcoast]

Looks like a fun machine. Nice job!

 

[Alaska Snow Cat]

I've always wanted a BR100+ for a personal snowcat. Very Nice!

I've been bitten by the Tucker bug and have a 1968 544A vista cruiser steel track machine.

Nice cat. I always thought the wide pontoons looked cool. Does it have a V8 like trackaddict or is the second pipe for show.

It does have the V8. Many originally came with the Chrysler 318 but this one is a bit unique whereas it was factory equipped with a Chevy 283 engine.

so which is your favorite so far?

 

[Northcoast]

I ended up with a tucker,but REALLY liked the trooper I was able to drive a couple of times. Not being much of a mechanic I was a little leary of the hydrostatic pumps(it had quite a few hours on it). Got any more pictures? Looks like you've tried them all!

 

[Hautesnow]

Both machines were the Tier 2 units, built before Prinoth took over production. First Trooper was perfect and I still regret selling it in 2008. This one only had 400 hours on it, but is not without leaks. Still dealing with that problem now (I'm not much of a mechanic either). Have way too many pictures, I could share.
Have driven many Tuckers and originally was looking for a used Tucker 2000XL, but found this one instead at a good price last spring. PIA having to get a Oversize Permit to haul it though.

BOMBI is second place but not much talk about them. could someone tell me why my sprocket suddenly wore inside corners?

 

[bushcaddy]

1972 sv 250 st. rebuilt most of it but not the engine or trany as it was previously done. this machine is a skidozer. pic can be seen here under bushcaddy.

welcome nobody. there is actually quite a lot of bombi folks on here.

Post a picture of the damage in the repair area, I am sure many will jump in and help figure it out.

Here's our 66 IMP that we have a lot of work in and we enjoy the hell out of it. We have a camp in western Maine and have a great trail system and plenty of uphill terrain for the mountain sleds.

 

[Pontoon Princess]

think there maybe a flaw or 2 in the poll and how you vote, as you can only vote once, and how do you vote for a second machine?

and what happens to the machine when you sell it and the new owner votes in the poll as the new owner, double counted?

only reason i say anything, is i am interested in the real numbers of machines that are listed in the poll,

so DOC, can this be fixed?

 

[pixie]

I agree. I have 4 Bombardiers but I might have voted when I had a Thiokol.

 

[d2doug]

Slim, try Remote Access Service snow cat parts. 1 916 764 4619. Ask for Tim. Good place to start.

 

[m1west]

I have a thiokol 603

 

[d2doug]

North coast, are you planning any trips to the Huntington Lake area in the first two weeks of February?

 

[SnoTruck]

I'm a new cat owner. Not really a cat, but what boils down to a snow and rough terrain pickup truck for my little homestead: a Nodwell 60 of some kind outfitted with a flatbed and the cab from a Kassbohrer Pistenbully 145D.

 

[Taxrulz]

1975 Thiokol Spryte, 133 hours, previously owned by RJohnson and NailedElk on the forum. It was originally owned by Southern California Edison and kept in Pomona for use in the San Gabriel Mountains. It was subsequently acquired by Snowtrans and then privately owned in Oregon, Utah, and Colorado.

It need some basic maintenance and updating, and we will try to do some improvements as well.

 

[PJL]

Super nice looking cat there. Looking forward to seeing your winter adventure posts.

 

[Snowtrac Nome]

forgot about this thread I suppose I should update the addition to the fleet I now have a light foot to fill the gap between the snow trac and thiokol 2100. geez im starting to become a hoarder.

 

[hansoni]

We sold our IMP to a guy in Vermont and found this 1987 LMC 1500 in NY state. All new axles, HEI distributor, and EFI kit installed since we bought it.

you cant call your self a hoarder if you sell one before buying another.

 

[hansoni]

Make no mistake, I have issues...
