snowcat for sale

If you get a chance see if he would deliver it for a few hundred more
Ah the nufarious 'RangeMaster'. According to one source these, roughly 8 or 9 hundred, were built for the Military. They are supposed to have a 'taller' or HIGHER 'road gear'. They were a bit more rugged than Thiocol's standard snow machine with heavier grousers, probably for Tundra. These are certainly a fovorite with Hunters. Most of what I learned about them was from a Hunter in Glenellen at the Cafe (Caribou Inn). In the hunting season more 'track rigs' pass buy their front door than probably anywhere else on earth. On a series of successive mounrings I counted at least 8 different machines in their parking lot. 1500 for a rangemaster is a steal! One track is probably worth that much.
So I have to wonder what is wrong with it?
A snowcat in Alaska for $1500?!? There is something else to the story. Like the wife got to keep it in a messy divorce and is selling it cheap just to piss off her ex-husband?

I do not know much about it other than what I have stated my wife was giving me the evil eye and said if I bought it I would be driving it back to wyoming!!! The tracks did not look that great and it needed work but if someone needs contact info I think I can find it I also have a few more pics if anyone is interested???
I would suggest you post the contact information and the photos. We actually have a lot of members who come here and "lurk" but don't actively post. I'm sure that the information will be useful and appreciated.
I called about the range master,they up'ed the price to 10,000.00. more than i am willing to pay.but i want to thank you for your fast responce with the contact # thanks..... Roughwoods in Alaska.
We are still waiting for the rivers to get hard,only 2or3 inches of snow so far but i sure am looking forward to this year.We will be hauling stuff out to Totec lake to build a cabin.Worked on putting in trail last year,but got tierd of camping in a tent.so this year will be spent on the cabin.Do you have any snow yet?
No, We do not have any snow yet. I feel sorry about the price of the snow cat I guess he needed money that day or something?????? My wife and I are looking at possibly moving up their thats why we were their. Need to move somewhere where they still get some snow??? Wyoming just is not cutting it anymore. what kind of a snowcat do you own??? snowmobiles are fun but snow cats are warm!!! HA HA
Where in Wyo. do you live? We seem to be getting less snow every year up here,but i am hopeing for a deep snow year,sure softens up the trails. We have 2 st4 snow tracs and 1 snow master and 1 st4 parts rig.one has a vw motor,one has a toyota motor,one with no motor in it but i am thinking of maybe putting a volvo motor in it? I have some pic in the photo gallery under r for roughwoods. hope you get snow!

I live in Banner WY. I have a Volvo 125QA in my boat I was just thinking about that motor for a snowcat. It is very light and it has 125hp I had the motor out this summer I do not think it weighed over 250lbs??? I could pick it up and slide it around the shop easily. I know their are alot of these motors avail in AK we saw a boat junkyard in anchorage with alot of those bayliners in their. Just a thuoght???
Kennedy engineered products has adapter kits for volvo four cylinder engines,64-75 B-18, B-20(SIX BOLT) 76+B-21,B21 F(8 BOLT FLYWHEEL)But i am not sure if they make one for the 125QA.There web site is www.kennedyeng.com What was the name of the boat junkyard in Anchorage?Dont have much time for this putter stuff ,got to go ---Larry
I honestly do not know the name of the boat salvage yard??? When we went to anchorage we just drove around and were tourists. I like junk so a salvage yard is my kind of thing to look at. It was over by the bay on the west side I think???
What other projects are you working on??
