Slow, Very Very Slow!! Been busy at work, also very warm in my shops. Have a little more welding to finish up and a few more items to think about before paint. Just purchased a evaporative cooler for shop. A porta- cool brand 10600 cfm should do the trick. Also a Warn Winch for the Tucker front and Rear receivers.Hope to get to work on it soon! Here is a picture of winch and mounting cradle. Your Tucker is looking Great! Are you going to paint the Tucker Sno-Cat lettering on the pontoons Black ?

I love the diamond plate that you put on. I think you will like the front-rear receiver hitch winch set up. I went with a Recon with a wireless remote. I haven't made up my mind about the pontoon lettering just yet. Still trying to makeup my mind. I leave next Saturday to retrieve her and bring her back on the 11th. Hopefully get my shop built next year. This has been a fun project. The next one I intend to be more hands on. I know I sound like a broken record but the folks at Tucker have been a treat to work with.

Here is some pics from the maiden voyage after the restore.. more to follow. The machine ran flawlessly and we put about 30 miles on her. Snow conditions are outstanding!

Great pictures! And that side step is a great solution for accessing the top rack.

Thanks .. the sidestep was Tucker's solution.. I did not want to go the ladder route. You can get them from Tucker.
