Welcome Mainer to the forum. I am going to guess you are from Maine. You have a unique vehicle parked next to the snow cat. It appears to have snowmobile tracks????
Can you provide some pics and detail info on the track conversion set up on the 4X4 vehicle also? 
The snow cat looks like it is in very good shape. As to the clutch disk plates for for this cat I am not sure but we have some members who will probably have a source. Have you tried Snotrans in Weiser Idaho or Peterson Equipment in Logan UT?

Hi Mainer, just a guess, but you live in Maine? I've got some very good friends up there and will be meeting up with them in mid-February and again in late March. Beautiful land up there.
As for your question I honestly don't have an answer but it might help everyone if you could provide a bit more information. Is that an early Thiokol Trackmaster? What type of engine/transmission is in your unit?
As to what BigAl wrote about the manuals, we do have a pretty extensive collection of manuals for Tucker, Kristi and Snow Trac machines, but we don't have copies for the older Thiokol units. I have a lead on a manual for a Bombardier but won't know for sure about that for another few days. This site seems to work because we all pitch in and share information so if you have anything to share we'd sure like to be able to distribute it.

Actually, I'm an American living in Europe for a few years but normally live in Boston with a place in Maine. My heart is in Maine. 8) Gorgeous land but snow is pretty minimal of late! I've always wanted a CAT. I just saw a great 1956 Tucker go on eBay for $7,100 that looked to be in great condition. It was in Montana so wasn't easily accessible to me and would have cost $6K to send to Maine...probably still would have been worth it but have to ease into things.
The pic is a 1961 Thiokol Trackmaster.
I just saw the one on eBay that's been 'pimped' and is currently at $20,100. The original condition photos are on the forum...quite the difference! There's also a video of the pimped ride on youtube (link is in the eBay add).

ps... I can get the manual...a couple of guys really did a great job of getting this puppy into top condition...new wheels, new bearings, some work on the engine, etc... includes an extra set of tracks and an extra power distribution unit and transmission.
"Looks like the SUV sitting next to your Cat has Mattracks on it ."
They're not mattracks...some sort of a knock off. That machine is in pretty rough condition for what they wanted ($7K) for it. Most of the guys in the Maine area looking at it said they wouldn't give more than $1,500. Very flimsy tracks. There's a reasonably nice set of mattracks on eBay that didn't meet reserve (it ended at $6K), but I think the seller paid $10K for them a few years ago. Would be great to have a set of those as well!

I lived in the UK for four years and really enjoyed it! I brought back a MKI Mini that I picked up in Cornwall from a great family. They'd cared for it as the single owner and garaged it, etc... which, as you know, is odd for a mini! 8)
Anyway, I'm in Zurich now. Very different folk here! "You must follow Ze Rules!" "You must have ze special papers for ze SnowCat or suffer ze consequences."
