:clap: I saw a few pics do that years ago (May even have one saved on the work computer). Kept thinking, sure would suck to walk over to a view, have a quick squaw come in and can't find your warm Tucker!

over all, a very solid, previous owner spent an untold money caring for it, 242 original hours, I can not find any damage or repairs, pontoons are very nice, long with fifth wheels, runs like a clock. really, i do not see anything i need to do, other than find some very deep power, for the time being, going to leave the paint alone, got a couple of projects to finish up. thanks tuckerville minion

That can't be correct, that picture is in entirely the wrong state, see the paint does not even match the trees :whistling:

You will have to leave the beacon on when you park so you can find your way back. Another fantastic Tucker for your collection. My wife gives me shit for having 3 machines in the yard. You are a Sno-Cat God.

that would be sno-cat goddess, and thank you, first thing i learned about collecting, do not leave them in the front yard or even the back yard, heated warehouses are the best. tuckerville goddess

now, that i have you distracted...................the silver excursion has left town with a even bigger trailer in tow

latest finds for the tucker hunters, one is a 1949 four pontoon machine, first production built, very interesting construction and the other is a 1958, model 443. both are a little sad looking, though, very complete and in very solid restorable shape

The ever elusive Desert Cat. And the first four tracker sold. :brows:

Really looking forward to the teardown / reassembly on this one to see how things held up over time and your modern solutions to repair it to running condition.

Curious as to how you get your leads out there? Amazing maybe a group photo one day of your stash!

Off on a tangent here about leads.....
Years back I asked the same question of another member that seemed to fall into all the cool stuff.....

the answer is "they find me....."

I can share that after 6-7 years of kicking over the snow machines in and out of the yard here at the compound, I can say that there is some truth to the they find me path.

overall, despite how it looks, very solid with little damage or worn items, think it could start with a fresh battery, gas and a oil change, fascinating construction

Was trying to figure out the steering link before and finally got it sorted.

A little degreaser, a nice sand bath to knock off the bunions, a new dress and she'll be good as new! Oh yeah, can't forget the ever important slippers!
