sno track for sale in fbks
- Thread starter bill w
- Start date
does it have a bunch of trailer axles under it with poly sprokets i had herd over the ham radio that there was one for sale
i know that the hunting buggy st that was for sale in wasilla wound up in faibanks i was a cammo paint job one of my ham buddys told me about it he was asking 6 k and it looked a bit rough as compaired to mine
Bill who is running baby blue tuckers up on the slope had one come in from barrrow on a cargo transfer kind of a nice looking rig forward control model seems a bit big to only have seating for 2 and no cargo area
i would guess this one was leased to doyon as i slipped a peek at the shipping papers and it belongs to stg who is a big construction leasing compny also had a richie brothers tag on it so i can guess it was one of those advertised last winter.
the snow master in fbx is red it was in an accedent and the gab was crushed so a new one was fabicated they also chopped down the tracks and made diferent grousers for running on tundra they sent me some pics but they didn't come through itsounds like it was heavyly modified maybe a good project for some one
Sorry, got a wrench in my plans. Won't make it to Fairbanks til next week now! Hopefully one of the other guys has better luck taking photos to post!

just got back from looking at the one at the lot off 30th ave...it is an st-4 #242 they swapped out the motor to a water-cooled vw they have extra tires,variator belt,cleats and it has like new tracks on it.they fabricated a front bash bumper(looks ok)and it has a winch in it.they are asking 4000 and will entertain trades of a 4 wheeler or small boat..their number is 907 322 6320
Oh, I went to the wrong one that is for sale, this one is $4,000.00.
Has a 4cyl VW water cooled engine and looks fair.
Took photos, but can't post them with my iPhone. If someone wants to post them for me, I can email the photos to them to post.
IM me or email address to send them to, won't be by a real computer fir a couple of days!

Thanks for posting the photos!
The tracks looked to be in pretty good shape, paint looks weathered and the installed water cooles engine looks good. Did notice that the parking brake drums were gone, so stopping on hills may get dicey! Sprockets looked like very little wear and may have been new with the track!
Didn't like the way the air filter hung out into the "windstream" of where the snow gets kicked up at, but that could be retorted without a lot of effort!
But the price is good at $4,000.00 and they would consider trades for othe toys!

nobody noticed it's a hybreed it has 3 band tracks and sprokets with the 2 band suspension
Nobody needed a used Snowtrac! I thought they were in big demand!
Bet if it was a Krusty Kritter, there would be even less interest in it!
Funny you ask.
I actually am interested in that machine. I have a pile of VW diesel and gas engines. Big and small (VR 6 and 1.8L turbos)
I am a school teacher and have just enough summer left to run and get it.
I however have two snocats (new to me) here that have about 12 minutes in snow.( my wife is awesome and understanding but...) three would break the acceptance policy.
I will own one of these (ST) before I shake the Snow cat bug..... but the time is not right and...
IT IS KILLING ME> I do my best to not look at the add. My turn will come.
Oh and I am sure I have something of interest to offer in trade. so the trailer would be loaded in both directions.
And a coworker is helping a uncle wire a Cabin (I am a electrician, I teach apprentices) in AK for the month of August.
I need a brick wall and a head banging into it Smilie

Well I drove by the lot today in Fairbanks, and didn't see it there. It may be sold or the owner just moved it to someplace else. Seems for the price, it was in pretty good condition except for a few easy items to take care of. The Guy was also pretty interested in trades verses just selling it.
You didn't HAVE to Put the photo with the Phone number right there.....
Thanks a bunch.!
It is 87 and humid and hell, I am going to cut the grass that (and the sun burn) should get my mind off of it.
Thanks again buddy
Sorry, about that....
looking back at the pics you can see a hint of disc brakes on it a guy named mike strang did one like that when he worked at estes vw repair in anchorage they put in a lc vw engine and disc braked from a modern bus this may be it
Well I killed the entire day and did not call the 907 area code. lawn is cut. put another 100 or so miles on the IH SSII. and found a free IH 1310 pickup in PA.
I am not going to go after that ST. I think (know) another will come along.
I laughed all day (to myself) at how mad my wife would be if I went after a project that far away..... I have one more month off and that would have been a great way to kill it.
Using all my restaint.
