I really enjoyed restoring this IMP. I'd like to restore another snowcat.
Build was August of 1968
I'm the fourth owner. Machine was part of a set of 2 that went to a local private school for XC grooming.
Things I've done.
Had the C4 Rear end rebuild by this summer by Zimmermans Clertrac in PA. All new seals, new ring and pinion gear
New Master Cylinders for steering
New Slave Cylinders for steering (snowcat pat stainless upgrades)
Replaced old generator with a Delco 78 Amp alternator.
9k lb winch installed
Plow blade for the front. I've never used it.
Drag does NOT come with the rig. It belongs to my club.
Installed a custom aluminum box on back deck. It's got a 20 gallon fuel tank, (plus still has 10gal factory tank internal) toolbox space, and separate battery side that has a dual battery setup. Isolator lets the batteries not fight. There's a red top optima for starting and winch. There's a blue top optima that's brand new for Lights, and for a fuse block that's in the cab for any future stuff.
Tires were all filled
Valves were just adjusted and new valve cover gaskets.
Carb was rebuilt good as new (took a kit from german ebay for all the RIGHT parts, not just close)
Springs were all re-bent. All new spring hardware.
All of the bearings in the wheels were done. Timken made in the USA bearings.
New Mounts for C4
Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor, and converted it to electronic ignition.. no more points!
What's left? some insulation and an interior rug on the walls were all that was left on my list.
Obviously... I put A LOT into this IMP. Yes, I kept a spreadsheet. I probably shouldn't have.
I enjoy running it. It's nimble as can be, and floats like a cork. I like grooming, and I'm thinking of restoring another bigger cat, likely a tucker.
Located in Minot ME.
price is 12k.
A guy with cash in his hand, and showing up with a trailer might get a bit better deal, but I like it so much that no one's gonna get a 'steal'
I've got tons of pics of the resto. jpiper1073@gmail.com
