WORK OF ART, seriously that looks to be restored to better than new condition. Nice to see any old snowcat saved from a scrap heap, wonderful to see this sno-cat saved in remarkable fashion.

We kept as much of the pontoons as we could. A couple of the pontoons were different so we made new adjuster ends for them. I will go through pictures today and see what I can find for you.
But I do have a question, is this going to be stored in a museum never to see snow? Or will it be taken out on the snow, even if only for 'one last ride' before it ends up as a showpiece? It would be a shame if all that restoration work was done and it never got to see snow again.
Thanks for those Jeff. That answers a lot of questions I had never having seen a detailed breakdown of the pontoon 'guts'. I'm assuming it was generally the same thru the end of production, so that will help lots.
I definitely do, (and probably most others), have this issue with their pontoons on that lower rail area. It's good to see a repair. Did you blast & seal coat the inside or just button it back up?
Also interesting to note the welds from old tech to new tech.
its a nice looking rig I still find it hard to get excited about steel ladder tracks. I suppose it has to do with our conditions around here where you could come across several mimes of ground blown bare of snow which would play havoc with the pontoons. that and I don't like my dewalt grease gun that much.
Awesome Job!! And in record time too. Great work, wished I was even half as quick. Love this thread and all the info on the forums. Very Inspirational Indeed!!
