First trip out with newly acquired 1962 Snow Trac showing only 600 hrs blew the motor. The cat is very good condition original. Now faced with the decision of keeping stock motor and rebuilding or going with a 1600 dual port. Your feedback is appreciated.

I previously owned a '75 Imp wide track, and now upgraded to an '89 LMC 1500 w/AMC motor (adjustable carb). I had been looking for a crew cab with a blade for years, and they are getting hard to find! This one came out of northern Utah, though I don't know much about the machine's history. I'm in the process of dialing it in for winter. Some things have been maintained quite well, and other things completely overlooked! So far I've replaced some hydro hoses, replaced the ignition switch, changed oil, greased everything, and carpeted some of the interior. Still lots more to go through before I'll trust her in the backcountry. But overall it's a pretty solid unit and I'm really glad to have it.

I don't own it but I started training on this 2008 prinoth Husky for the snowmobile club. It currently only has 2500 hrs roughly on the machine. Right now we are using a packer bar on the back to open the trails. It raises and lowers hydraulically allowing you to back up easily and grab snow with the front blade

I think a snocat would be great to own, but don't have one.
Do have snowmobiles.
A Pistenbully 600 with larger cab to carry 5 or 6 people looks fun.

i have a 1972 skidozer SV 200 that I bomb around in.

some argue the hay day of the forum.

I just did the survey and was able to click all but 2 of the boxes.

Holy crap.

redsqwl,........ I have 15 antique snowmobiles and my Wife thinks we live in a salvage yard.

........... You have 40+ snowcats?

MY Tucker 442a is still stored on a friend's property. (Wifey is threatening to murder me in my sleep if I ever bring it home).

I envy your collection,.............. especially that Kitten project.

I have a 1971 Cushman Trackster. I think it is a lot like a snowcat?

I got a 1958 Pre-Thiokol 4VL. At snowcat safety class it got nick named "Old Bessie". Impressively it did as very well compared to many of the newer ones. Not so impressive is finding parts and the owners manual. HELP!

Not sure I have ever seen a manual for any of those (various) machines. I've seen a few machines, but they all seem to be 'one of one' and each appeared to be different to me. Mechanically I'm sure they are very similar, but darned if I know anything about finding a manual or parts.
