Thanks for the warm welcome.I've got lots of pic's as we have a large group of owners in this area. (35-40 machines)
As for the pre 1952 b12-b18 machines,Bombardeir made a wheel dolly that clamped to the ski.This was only used to move the machine in the nosnow condition.
Our 10th annual rally is coming up this march.All snow cats welcome.

You are very welcome to publicize the upcoming rally here, we've got quite a few Canadian members here with various brands of snowcats.
 
dkmclean: The picture I posted is our own unit not a Beaver Lake Machine - it is a 1949 - B12 CS

Looks quite similar to the last picture you posted. Looks you you might have a lot of fun with your units throughout the winter. If all works well I'm hoping to attend the rally this year.
 
Nice looking vintage Bombardiers. I'm glad to see more of those in this forum. I just took my 1971 SV200 out for it's first real "spin" last night after finally getting all the bolts into the track.
 
Houlio: How's the 49 runnin, are ya getin any miles on it .sorry about the Beaver Lake thing ,I did'nt want to use names.

Snowdird: Just looked in my Bombardier history book to check out the SV200 . Looks like fun, bet ya have to work had to get it stuck.How are parts to find?
 
dkmclean: has been running well, but the clutch plate is sticking may have to open it up and do some work.

We restored this one to be as original as possible. Nearly everthing is still original, even most of the wood. The problem is that now I keep looking for another unit that I can modify and play with.

Sounds like there are quite a few machines up in your area. A friend first told me about the rally last year after he read an article in a wood working magazine. Are you expecting a big draw for the rally?

Snowbird: do you have pictures of your SV200 somewhere?
 
Houlio:looks good,even the tires are original cotton 4plys.Is it still the 6volt system.Are ya lookin for another woody or a metal body for the mod.
Should be 35-45 machines for the rally . A wide variety of original and mod's to see. Lots of good ideas,some so so.
cpmuseum@netkaster.ca
tm_aplayford@netkaster.ca between m&a is an understroke.
If you want more info she'll email you a news letter.

The article in the Magazine has a few pics of my 49 being built.
The old timer doing the wood work is my father.
 
b skurka's note should guide you to SV200 pictures. As far as parts, probably another forum member, boggie, is the best source I know of. He's been a super help in my project. We got 5 inches of snow yesterday, so I'm anxious to give the SV200 another trial run.
 
Snowbird: Had a look at the pic's of your restore .Lots of work,looks good.Did ya find any decals? I have a pic of the factory original in a book. Icould scan it & post it if ya don't have.
I had decals made at a print shop in town,they were about $35. for the set.
Did ya get out for a run .
 
Hoping to try it today. Posting decals would be helpful, although I suspect that Bombardier changed them from year to year. Thanks. (Mine is a 1971 SV200). I put on some striping using my fuzzy zerox copy of a manual as a guide. I also found Boggie (a forum member) has some decals for sale.
 
Yep your right. The bombie in the book has head lites set into the front body.They call it a Skidozer-sv200.
I'll try scan & post anyway, just to see if I can get it to work.
 
Now that I have Everyone in the house mad at me ,I think I got it to work. Qualtyis so so.

Wow Snowbird you sure did a lot of work - looks great!!!

The tires, glass, and electrical is pretty much original - I have a picture of the electrical posted on Northern Tracks website under "Narrow Guage"

I would like to find a smaller unit - two or three seater that I can fix up for fishing.
 
Thanks dmclean for the pictures. That looks exactly like mine (except mine didn't have any headlights set into the sheet metal; they were bolted on an adjustable bracket). I can see now I might want to get those decals. I don't have hydraulics, but I might put a wooden stake assembly on the back as in the picture you posted.

I have a Tucker 542 now how do I add it to the poll

If you voted once in the poll then you can't vote again. However, as a moderator I can alter the poll. So I went in and added 1 more to the Tucker listing for you.
