1976 Thiokol Spryte F/S Madison SD auction

anthonydoldd · Apr 27, 2017

My employer is selling a 1976 Thiokol Spryte. Engine has just been overhauled. Religiously performed regular maintenance. We have all service records and original books and documentation. Was bought from petersens equipment in 1976. Tracks are in extremely good shape. We are the original owners of the Spryte. Has the 300 I - 6, Ford C6 trans and the OC12 rear end. J style grousers and belts look great. There are many extra parts that will be thrown in with the sale. The snow cat will be on the prairie village auction May 6th in Madison SD. If you are interested i can arrange a time to look at it before then. I will add pictures and parts list tonight or tomorrow along with current hr meter.

Thanks
Anthony

Try loading the pictures one or two at a time. For some reason loading a bunch at one time causes that error. I don't know the magic number but it will work. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

LOL, I was thinking . . .
Protip: Hide the atv tracks while photoing the machine they will be presumed to have replaced

anthonydoldd · Apr 30, 2017

We do have tracks for almost all of our 4 wheelers skidloaders atvs but they are no replacement for a cat. We actually have two tucker Terra's that replaced these machines..

Nikos and ssort thank you for help with pics!

bobby wilkes · Apr 30, 2017

Good looking machine...

This is a live auction only I think. I couldn't find a link for any type of online bidding. Is there one?

anthonydoldd · May 1, 2017

We checked today and you must be present

topwelder44 · May 1, 2017

why dont they list it here ----put a number on it ----someone here on this site might want it

anthonydoldd · May 1, 2017

It has to be auctioned per company policy

DAVENET · May 2, 2017

No interest myself. But, if a buyer was interested and didn't want the make the haul to Madison, SD with the chance of being out bid & having to come back empty handed, would they be able to have someone bid for them? Ah hem, anthonydoldd? :whistling:

anthonydoldd · May 2, 2017

My services have been spoken for already!

topwelder44 · May 2, 2017

if someone in my company said company policy-----I say your fired----that is stupid---daaaaaaaaaaaaaa-the last one sold for 2800.00---this cat is worth way more than that

anthonydoldd · May 7, 2017

Just saying. In regards to price.

It is not the cheapest spryte in the yard.

certainly not the highest priced one either.

It went cheap. :w00t2:

topwelder44 · May 8, 2017

good----- glad it went cheap-----sucks to be stupid----opppppps I mean them lol :w00t2:

redsqwrl · May 9, 2017

I will wear that badge. :w00t2:

Anyone who puts over the snow machine out on snowmobile trails, to assist people too Frozen in illogic to function, can't be all that smart them-self.

Around here, (WI) a state grant program reimburses Groups of volunteers (clubs) for their volunteer service at $6.50 an hour for manual labor. $65 per hour for grooming 10' wide and 100 HP.

In my county, three individuals hold 18 clubs hostage for their funding by billing the crap out of them for the elusive (GROOMING).

A repurposed Tucker started my quest to assist these clubs and is now doing the same in a neighboring county at the hand of another FF member. With any luck this machine will be tasked with a 9'6" arrowhead drag (10' if the state is asking) on a segment of trails east of me.
It is not uncommon for these clubs to borrow money in summer to have a picnic to thank the land owners..... Sweet deals like this enable the Group to have some fun. the gear heads get to wrench on it, operators get to operate, and as funny as it sounds there is a huge bunch of pride that shows up when clubs can do it on their own.

a 1542, 318, 5 spd, ext cab, Tuckers rear trunion plate will not bend any further once this machine gets a hydraulic pump and controller. and a bigger benefit is more than one half an extra person will be able to ride along..... :flowers:

redsqwrl · May 23, 2017

one last post here then i'll start a new thread that will be searchable (maybe that is not necessary) thoughts on that?

I want to send out a serious thank you to a snow cat enthusiast that *gets it*

think about this from a little higher elevation.

Snow cat is coming up for sale at community auction.
buy it and the community benefits and everything is good.
Simple flip-able purchase.

Instead

ff member posts it here for the ravenous consumers to salivate over and assists all in the process.

Years back I offered assistance to source a motor from a local saab horder, today I picked up a spryte, that endeavor took no fewer than four major steps of which I participated in one.

Anthony is straight up a good guy. they are few and far between and Here is a shout out and thank you to someone who gets it.
:wow:

random pictures...... sorry for the size and focus.
