I will be the first to admit that I am completely snowed by anything snowtrac but it looks to me as the tracks are on backward? Maybe the cab is, what do I know.

That is a Trac Master version of the Snow Trac. It has extra wide tracks. Also the fenders are extra wide from the cab forward. Some were wide all the way to the back of the machine, some only to the cabin. The wide tracks with the 1/2 length wide fenders may be why it looks odd to you.

so, if you were to put 2 snowtracs together, back to back, you would have a 4 track machine and it would be a back asswards snowcat, should look familiar...

Yes in fact you are correct. I am an example of that at a strong 6'3"+

There is a trick that will move the drivers seat back a good 3" and it makes a big difference for a taller driver. I did it to mine soon after I bought it. The former owner had started the job, and I finished it. You need to move the grab handle behind the drivers seat back 3", and reinstall with an offset bracket you make for the end of the handle against the wall so your seat cushion will fit. Keeps that seat back in place as well...

Happy Thanksgiving :smile:

The seat behind the driver in my st is 6 inches shorter than original. moved the drivers seat back and now it all roomy. OK, maybe not roomy but my knees aren't against my chin.
Still fits two normal adults ok on the bench. If they have complained, I haven't listened to it.

What is that belt driven shaft for that comes off the right side of the engine?

that is a blower to cool the variator.

I have seen them on other st's as well as ST4Bs'

After looking at the interior pics, and not seeing any valve body, I wondered about that. My crusty memory seems to remind me of this fan set up...

Just were did they mount a hydraulic pump on these when they had the rolling basket groomers on them? Same location, or on the other side?

I think a small pump was in front of the crank at the front of the engine.
 
The Auction just ended with a Winning Bid of $15,200. With the 15% Buyer Premium, the actual price was $17,480. I stopped bidding at $13,500. A bit too rich for my pocket book! Still, it looked like a great Snow Master! I guess I'll just have to be content with the ST4 Snow Trac that I already have... was hoping to add to my collection.

Yes I feel that was a truly unmolested specimen.

"comments about hour meters and their displayed values drive me nuts."

But I don't think sourcing a chronograph, swept arm style hour meter would have been easy to source.

again this is a fine example of "Cats in the wild" ......

The Auction just ended with a Winning Bid of $15,200. With the 15% Buyer Premium, the actual price was $17,480.

It's likely worse than that... Depending on the purchaser, they had to pay California sales tax on the winning bid amount AND 15% buyer's premium. The sales tax in Plumas County is 7.25%, which brings the total up to $18,747.

Is that a record for a Snow Trac? I'm thinking this was "well sold" as opposed to "well bought"... However, in fairness to Snow Trac lovers everywhere, it does look like it's all there, and I imagine some parts are in the "unobtanium" category.

Did anyone note the name of the winning bidder? "junkman"
