I've just put money down on a Dynatrack, aka XM571. I should be picking it up in a couple of weeks. It uses a Chevy Corvair engine and transmission. Twin units steers by articulation. Size is 5.5 ft x 15.5 ft. Almost all alloy so few rust problems. Does anyone else have one?

I'm not familiar with that brand , but it does sound interesting. My Snow Trac is almost all aluminum but does have a steel chassis and that was extensively rusted. Whatever steel parts you have, please do yourself a favor and look them over for rust/corrosion.

Your snowcat is narrower than most, I'd love to see some photos when you have a chance to post some!
 
A very unusual 1402 as I have seen it and heard it running. Dan, we need some pics posted of your snow cat........
 
I used to own a 1957 tucker snokitten. I partially restored and sold on ebay.

I now own a Flextrac Nodwell FN60 that I am restoring to full functionality.
I am not sure of the year. The only date I could find was on the front winch 1972.
 
Did you ever get the Kitten into any 'real' snow? If so, how'd it do? Your video just showed a light snow parking lot run. I've heard good things about them and there is one available to me...if I want it.

I had a lot of trouble with it. When I got it all the brakes were rusted solid. it would only run with the choke on full.
I made an adapter for it and ran a mikuni carb from a dirtbike that worked ok.
I cleand the rust and scale as best I could from the brakes and shoes and reassembled it. it worked ok. I pushed it a little one day and the aluminum differential broke in half. I pulled a few favors and got it welded up good. After that I was afraid to use it at all, it felt too delicate. And with no sound deadener inside it was impossible to drive with a hangover! So I sold it, I got $1500USD on ebay. A guy from oregon bought it, drove up and towed it home. he said he had 7 other tuckers at home. His girlfriend/wife called it a "keychain" compared to his others.

edit:
i found it on youtube!

Since posting to this thread the first time, I have aquired four more cats. Have been busy gathering them into one spot and finally accomplished this task. Now comes the fun part of deciding what to do with each of them, may possibly be interested in selling one of them to finance the repairs of the rest. The list is as follows:

2 DMC 1450 SUPER IMPS, 1 with with approximately 300 hours and the other with around 400 hours.

1 THIOKOL SUPER IMP, with approximately 950 hours.

1 LMC 1500 with approximately 1500 hours.

1 TUCKER 1542.

All run, and am currently fixing up the Thiokol Super Imp, as you may have seen in previous posts and pictures.
 
Diiiiiibs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding. 8)

Nice collection of cats though!!! I see you either realized the error of your ways by going from Tucker to Thiokol/LMC/DMC or you just recently mistakenly went wandering stray away from the mother ship ... either way... the Tucker must go. ;) (Just kidding...everyone needs a daily driver...ok, really just kidding)
 
Mainer, Now that is funny!! The tucker is my first love and probably my favorite. But right next to her is the Thiokol Imp and then the LMC 1500, all of them have there own way of making you want to keep them around!:snow_smi:
