Any cat is better than no cat.

with that said tuckers are pretty cool, however make sure you are mentally set to handle the other bit of fun that comes with over the snow machines, *the maintenace*

It might just be the way its parked but the front tracks have a bit of knocked knees going on there. those bushings are a pain to change and upgrade. but the work is easy. It is hard on the pontoons when they are twisted like that.
The other thing I see is the ice breakers on the front tracks are in the wrong spot, It was my understanding they go in the rear postion.

Find a tucker friend and go look at that bad boy. I like the paint and sedan style, jus tmake sure you don't buy a shop queen for a trail queen price.

Mikes $.02 worth.

Thanks mike !
I've had another buddy point that out about the way it sits . I'm hope it's just the way it's sitting on the gravel . The guy is going to deliver the cat and he says it's in perfect condition and completely gone throw . 2000hr. The maintenance is fine with me I own a diesel truck and had 4 snowmobiles that I work on. Do I need any special tools ? How much do you think this tucker is worth ?

Never noticed how the ice breaker is in the front .wonder why that ? Maybe he tried to rotate them ?

If your going to add a cab why not take a look at the 1642 with the additional cab that I posted about that is on equipsellsit.com under "other" equipment. The camo unit has been for sale for quite a while now and the "equipsellsit" Tucker" came from SnoTrans. Much better machine for $15500. Just my opinion.
