- Thread starter GKP
- Start date
10K for as decent running machine but needs TLC. Maybe more depending on condition of course. Tracks will be worn. BigAl go to Saftey Ones's web site and look up Thiokols.

I have seen them sell for about $6000 - $8000. 
They use the OC-12 rearend and five or six foot wide tracks. I had a discussion with Peterson's about one. That wide of a track really works the differential and usually requires band replacement at least once a year if used a lot, particularly grooming. I understand that Thiokol sold thousands of these old machines to the early ski areas across the country. They are way too wide to trailer and usually need a lot of work to bring up to par. So they sell for cheap normally. Big bucks to re-belt the tracks!

Trailering is pretty much out of our league. You need to detrack them. Roll each track up and put in on the trailer. I would guess 500 lbs per track? Maybe more. (thats a guess people not a known factor) Then when you get to where you need to be you need to unload and retrack. Now if it was a dedicated area of use then no big deal as long as the trail is very wide!
GKP,
Is this the 2100 B you are looking at? It looks and sounds like it is in decent shape for an older 2100B Thiokol. The Track width is 30” the track length is 141”. The total length is 193” the total width is 107” and the Height is 95”.

Thiokol Sno Cat
Not sure of the year, we couldn’t find it anywhere on the unit. There are 6759 Hrs on the clock.
This Thiokol Sno Cat has a center mounted cab. It’s a real blast to drive. Well maintained Straight Six Ford, that runs strong. There are hydraulic hookups on the back for a snow plow or snow grooming attachments (none included) with controls in the cab. When everyone else is snowed in you can still get around. We bought this one with the intentions of putting a cab on the back to carry people, but we don’t have the time so we are going to buy a new one. This unit is being offered locally so we have the right to end the auction early. This unit is being sold as is, No Warranty. To qualified buyers this item is available for local inspection and test drive in Sewell, New Jersey up to and including day of auction. NO WARRANTY!

Thanks for the input! The one I looked at has a BIG enclosed rear cab that should hold 10-15 people. My family would like a snow cat to access their cabin in the winter. It would not be trailered.
I thought it was a hydraulic drive unit. There are two small levers in front of the seat for steering. Do these go to brake bands then?

A 2100 is the first snowcat I ever drove.They had 3-4 of them to groom a alpine ski area.We pulled 'powder makers'. They were deisels and had enough power. I believe they have hyd. assisted brake bands.
The only thing I broke was a drive axle.
Here's a shot of the differential on one that is for sale in NH
