Ritchie Brothers @ Chehalis, WA

[cloudcap]

A couple of snowcats are up for auction at Ritchie Brothers in Chehalis, WA on March 31st.

The 1986 Tucker 1543B looks pretty nice. A former utility machine w/ only 241 hours on it. I have no place to use or store something this large, but I've spent the past week or so trying to come up with a plausible reason to bid on it regardless.



There's also a 1972 Thiokol 1202B w/ a blade. This looks a lot rougher than the Tucker, but it could be a good work horse for someone needing a machine to plow a road or haul some gear.

Hmmmm I already have 2 Tuckers maybe I need 3? Not to far to Chehalis, I could start a collection in Eastern Wshington.

Believe me, there is nothing secret about Ritchie Auctions.

Before I picked my new cat up today I sent my cat to the Tucker spa. Jinn is a special person and it makes me so happy that she ended up with my machine. Jinn and Scott are people that will always hold a spot in my heart because of the passion they have for something I love. Thank you both for your support of the Jamboree and valuable friendship. A wise woman once said "Tucker on!" Cheers my friends.

Very cool that a "one of one" machine is going to a great home where its history will be preserved.

"El Pasco". I hadn't heard that, but it's catchy, and from what I understand very apropros.
