That ST4 is absolutely incredible . I can only hope that my Kristi will turn out half as nice .
Had you ran it much before you restored it ?
So whats left to do ? It is beautiful . Enjoy it !!!

Arlow said:I found in deep snow it didn't have enough power in 3rd and 4th gear, so that's why I went with the bigger motor.
. . . especially since 10,000' altitude could potentially reduce that 40 hp down to ~ 28hp.Snowcat Operations said:Mntnmgs,
40 hp is just not enough at 10,000 and 11,000 feet
sounds like you have a varriator problem maby one of the vertical shafts gomming up from the transaxle they were prone to breaking when trying to turn from a stand still.where inBC are you from I have a short cab 78 @ live in northern Alberta.No pics right now.Need new camera.Mine needs a new transaxle I think(only drves one track & can' steer it)
Cheers

if that is the shaft is broke i might could arrange for one i have a parts rig its under a bit of snow right now i have to get some other parts for the members wich is going to require some digging kindof lacking ambition at -20 but i need to finnish it up before it warms up because that means another storm the shaft would have to wate till summer because of how thwe snow has packed in to the engine like cement.Thanks Don
I was thinking it could be in the variator.Haven't had any time to look at it yet
if both tracks turn than you have a different problem more than likely a belt adjustment some one adjusted the op adjuster abd not he bottom one.Hey Don,
I can turn both clutches and the tracks want to turn.That is all I managed to check tonight as it is very dark here by 5 PM.I have to clean my shop this weekend and get it in there.
