Hi,
I have more information on my '78 Sno Trac that I listed for sale on 12/15/2011
The engine and clutch were rebuilt 200 hours ago. The engine number is 126-077420, and appears to be the original engine.
Both mid-beams supporting the suspension on either side had been professionally re-wielded. The welder actually placed and welded a solid steel bar within the mid-beam tube and welded that within the main horizontally framing member that it perpendicular connects to. Yes, very solid is the preferred method used to strengthen those mid-beams; there also is a gusset on the outside frame members. Then the welder fabricated those outside angle supports connecting to the outside end of the mid-beams and the front/rear of the frame itself. Anyway the angle beams are there and make great points of attachment if one needs to jack up the side of the machine. The beams could likely be cut away (a shame) if one really wanted to. The chains really serve no useful purpose and can be removed.
I shall find out soon if I can obtain those original brake pieces that are missing and will post soon what I find out.
All this information (and possibly the brake pats) comes from the individual who actually maintained the machine and had supervised all the welding fabrication, rebuilding and purchasing those new parts, with the gear wheels and sprockets coming directly from Chris Morlind in Klovsjo (costs lots of $).
I can supply the gentleman's name and phone number to verify all this for anyone seriosuly interested in purchasing the Sno Trac. I can also send pictures of the main frame bars and connecting cross members to verify the frame had never been broken.
Finally, The price is now lowered to $8,000.
