Anymore turn and the studs that hold the plastic slide blocks are out of the channel.
Front has plenty of room.

1973 Tucker Sno Cat 1443 New to Me
- Thread starter Track Addict

Plenty of time for projects these days. Today being a painter, plumber, teacher, sometimes parent while remotely captaining my staff though uncharted waters.
I can adapt to this new life minus the sickness and public panic part.
Stay healthy!
PS this is not next years sculpture.

part of the tucker mafia family, east coast division.....
if he fails to create a new for next years gathering, Bri(2) is to return it and will loose their membership and tucker, banished to the world of Kristi snow cats
Fine day of distancing.
Pretty sad what is happening here in town with the business closed down. Hope this ends sooner than later.
Lots of wasted sno!

Track Addict,
This is slightly off topic, but my impression is the whole Track Addict clan will likely make next year's Sun Valley event. Have you considered extending your vacation slightly and going to West Yellowstone, MT to go snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park?
I haven't done it for years, and I don't know what the rules and restrictions are now, but it's a pretty darn cool experience. I suspect your sons would not be allowed to operate their own sleds, and maybe you want to wait a few years until they're able, but I do think this is something to keep on your radar screen.
If you or Mrs. Track Addict are interested, my suggestion would be to contact the West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce. They will have lots of information about current regulations, lodging, snowmobile rentals etc, as well as package deals. There is also some pretty darn good riding in the surrounding areas outside of the park where National Park Service rules don't apply.
(BTW, You can get a speeding ticket on a snowmobile in the park.)

In my 14 years of relations this is the second snowmobile trip for her excluding local hyjinx. Best support wife/mom you could dream up. She lives by the law of large numbers mostly 3 to 1.
This year she became truly free as we joke. Me and the boys can live out of gas stations indefinitely. This virus situation is seriously impacting her freedom from boy oppression.
She was jelly though. Stayed back to process taxation without representation only to miss the trip in hindsight!
That area is on deck for Addict exploration !

………. Attitash,.... must have been up in Bear notch,... looks like the base is still good up there. the forecast for Mondays storm is up to 10'' ,.... great way to self-quarantine....
Installed in its home. Celebrating 10 years of marriage today each one better than the one before it. No domestic 911 calls, each time we lost a child they were found, and the toy collection continues to grow so we must be doing alright!
Pretty sure the 10 year gift is a Pontoon.....

Tank drained and fresh ethanol free fuel added with a some other ingredients and run through.
I decided to add an air filter to the carb out of an abundance of caution.Few underlying health issues to address still.
Can’t be too careful these days!

Who whipped up the spray can magic and how is it holding up?
TA, sorry to be ~two years too late. S'pose I didn't really need to say anything 'cause (I haven't finished reading the thread) the way you work this was probably done two and a half years ago. But post #486-ish, maybe the middle hold down screw could have been off to the side so that the roller doesn't sit on it in the straight-ahead position. Of course, the whole thing is so much better than the short roller on aluminum, you still win. And I have used Torrington needle bearings for similar thrust applications, but I haven't looked at their load rating, maybe not enough. Somehow I never was this involved in the repair of one of these and I have been learning from your well-documented restore/improve on the original project. Thanks, B
New England sure has its advantages. Snow in the north while we are still boating and fishing for tuna just 2 hours south.
That sno fall has signaled Tucker Time! Boats coming out and Tucker is moving into position for tie rods, new hydrauilic lines, fittings, and steering piston rebuild.
Wildcat set to open November 6th so I better get my ski legs!
Been working a video conference/covid isolation booth as well.

Groomers smuggled from Mt Hood nostalgia!
Good 400 mile road trip through Bernie's VT and down through NH to snowmobile land. Sugar Bush, Mad River Glen, Sunapee, Whaleback, and Pats Peak all in fall/winter view mode on my trip.
Beautiful country but felt good to cross back into New Hampshire.
Picked up a few pieces along the way.

Still some newer drives shafts and odds ends. Late 70's 80's.
