What has happened to the snowcats??????????

mbsieg · Oct 4, 2009

Used to be we were bombarded by all the snowcat info that was to be had here???? All the joys of bragging who the best is was will be????? What Happened to the Snot tracks, Krusties, Pimps, Stuck Tuckers, Little red thingies, Slow masters, Lame tracks, Poooba, Brokewells, And Slombies. ANY SNOWCAT PEOPLE OUT THERE?????????????? Well we could go for a good real world restore anyone out there????????????????????????????????????? Heck I would even settle for a Krispy restore job right now!!!!!!!!

Bobcat · Oct 4, 2009

hey now...

There will be yet again pictures and video of Kristis in the snow this season.

mbsieg · Oct 4, 2009

You are going to have to show me some???? Was there some in the snow last winter???? Parked in the snow that is...................

Bobcat · Oct 4, 2009

Yeah, well, ok, the one picture I posted last winter was of a KT-2 'parked' in the snow...on a trailer, due to mekanimichal diffimiculties. This year it will be operated in/over the snow...without the trailer. Count on it.

mbsieg · Oct 4, 2009

mbsieg · Oct 4, 2009

Only while BigA isn't around. When he shows up, I gotta get off the throne real quick before he sees me there....and re-stock the TP roll.

BigAl · Oct 4, 2009

Yes , things have changed . I too miss the good ole days of insulting the less fortunate snowcat owners who do not own a Kristi . I have been away for awhile but while I was gone I allowed the KT7 Yetti to be used for STUD service to another female Kristi snowcat .
As many here do not know , It takes about 8 months for a kristi to be fully developed in the womb . Birth annoucements will be sent out at the proper time .

mbsieg · Oct 4, 2009

awe bring her up to WY and try some of that DEEP powder we are getting alot of cats in the area I would bet we could arrange a get together!!

I think we are all just waiting for snowcat season. I've actually noticed an uptick in snowcat posting lately, it seems to slow down every summer and then pick back up late in the year.

Snowtrac Nome · Oct 4, 2009

winter is comming here soon i have snow on the hill tops and ice on the puddles so my snow trac will be out in full force i will keep you all up to date and you wont see it on a trailer the beauty of living in bush ak is you can leave from your back yard so expect vidios and pics 100 miles south of the arctic circle to the arctic circle as i go hunting and exploreing

Snowtrac Nome · Oct 4, 2009

i might also add i found out about another st-4 sitting inside of a building with only 140 hours on the clock i guess some kids got in and busted out the glass and poured sand into the crank case but it hasnt been started since it was put away if i can strike a deal will be making a 400 mile round trip to go fetch it

couchloafer · Oct 4, 2009

Sorry to hear about the shoulder BigAL...... heading east bird hunting later this week through the snow in Montana to Minnesota to deliver a couple PassePartouts

mattfidaho · Oct 5, 2009

well I had ours out the other day to get all the fluids changed..... man oil prices suck,

Ice Queen · Oct 5, 2009

My two snotracs have had a little trundle into the barn - one from the Norsebox as it had been to rallies, the other is waiting for work to make it beautiful, but it runs so it had a little exercise - difficult as the last owner broke the seat from its moorings which makes driving it exciting! Needs a new floor before the seat is put back. Doesn't have a respectable canvas either and it isn't even good enough for a pattern for a new one - ah, such is life! I bet I won't get any snow this winter either, didn't get much last year with one snowtrac and with two snowtracs, I don't have a hope!

JimVT · Oct 5, 2009

this is my first year and I can take almost any insult with a smile.
Just finished welding my aluminum bed and adding new springs with Timbren airless bags.

Nice Bombi

Bobcat · Oct 5, 2009

Bombi? Thought it was a 1:2 scale Tonka. :pat:

mbsieg · Oct 5, 2009

SWEET SETUP!!!!!!!!!!! Hows the truck handle with the Bombi on the back????

JimVT · Oct 5, 2009

Yea, I thought I would start out small, like everything else.
Haven't had it on the paved roads yet. Only driven around the farm so far and it seems to carry it fine. Bitch to load so I am installing a winch on the truck bed. Hope it works .If not I'll have a new winch for the bombi.

What? now how did that happen?
Feel better Al.. :flowers:

snowbird · Oct 6, 2009

Good pictures! I'd not thought of modifying my 1-ton crew cab pickup to transport my Snowcat. I guess I could maybe copy your ideas and avoid having to build a trailer. I'm not sure how much snow we'll get this winter (flurries forecast for this weekend), so I might need to travel a ways to get to the white stuff.

JimVT · Oct 6, 2009

If you get the correct one this is the way to go.http://timbren.com/

NorthernRedneck · Oct 8, 2009

Well, if it's any consolation, I just finished loading up a Bum-ba-deer BR160 onto a foat trailer to head out for pre-season servicing and maintenance.

Not a big fan of that thing, by any means. It's got the perkins diesel engine and is a pain in the butt to start right now. It turns over but won't fire without using ether. Not once have I had to use ether on the Lamtrac to get it going. Makes it a pain since we didn't have any out at the garage so I had to rush back to town before the local parts place closed to pick up a can. She fired right up after a quick squirt into the air breather. Hope the guys working on it will get that problem fixed.

Another issue I have with that machine is that it's way underpowered compared to the Lamtrac. I've been out in the Lamtrac following behind that machine and could practically run circles around it with a drag full of snow on behind me. And it wasn't pulling a drag at the time.

Climbing up hills with a drag full of snow......I'll take the Lamtrac any day. The Lamtrac has the same cummins engine that's found in the Tuckers of the same size machine.

Snowtrac Nome · Oct 9, 2009

your perkins may still be under powered after the engine is fixed we had one up here this summer doing some drillingand steering manuvers would drag the engine down pretty good as to starting with starting fluid take a look at air getting into the system after shut down fuel delivery problems such as bad lift pumps and air leaks will make it hard to start and gutlas and check out compression diesels need 300psi or better low conperssioncan be engine wear or bent rodds from too much either it will hydro lock when cranking and i have seen running 2 cycke detroits with rodds that look like bannas

JimVT · Oct 9, 2009

I am still working the bugs out of my flatbed. I put the brakes on as I was tipping forward to go down the ramps. Jim
