WTS 1344 Tucker

I bought this 1344 from Bill at Snotrans in Feb 2013 shortly before he passed away. I paid $19500 USD for it. Here is the information Bill gave me, and I have nothing to contradict what he told me.
This is a 1984 machine
It has slightly shorter tracks than a 1500 series. ( it has 24 grousers, but the rollers are spaced farther apart than the 1500 series, ground pressure is similar)
It came from a fishing lodge that travelled the lakes ( escape hatch in rear cab area roof)
The hour meter was reading 2463 hrs, Bill said it was correct ( it now reads 2525)
318 cid, with 4 speed manual, dana 60's no lockers
Machine has always been stored indoor
Since I bought it I installed or repaired the following:
New, never been used 8500 lb winch
Roof mount stereo
Electric fuel pump
Removed broken exhaust studs from head and installed new gaskets
Replaced exhaust pipe from manifold
Installed chrome exhaust guards over stacks (granddaughter burned herself and 2 days later I did same thing)
Installed battery disconnect switch
Replaced sound proofing on 2 doors
Replaced 1 leaking seal on transfer case
Replaced 2 carrier rollers ( 1 spare included)
Refurbished rear drive sprockets
Reversed front drive sprockets
The machine is located in Drayton Valley, Alberta
I will deliver the machine back to the US to within 1000 miles of the Alberta - Montanna border for the listed selling price.
If the buyer needs to see it, prior to delivery, I will pick them up and return them to the Edmonton International Airport so they could view the machine.
The price of the with machine with stated extras is $19,750 USD
This is a GREAT machine, the only thing I know is wrong with it is the rear wiper switch needs replaced and the pad put back on the brake pedal.
Also the only reason I'm considering selling it is so I can finish my 1642 rebuild. I'm going to add more pictures to the next post.
Thanx Randy 1-780-514-0753

The machine has dual hydraulics out the rear, I installed new couplers as the original were seized up from not being used. I've not added any oil, to the engine, since I've had it. The machine is very maneuverable (for a Tucker) so it's nice in the bush. The last picture is of my 1642 rebuild that I'd like to finish. If any additional photos are required just let me know.

PS if someone wanted it delivered to the MT Hood get together I'd gladly do that, if they'd take me for a ride

Looks like a nice machine, honestly represented, and reasonably priced. Nicely done! I'll also note that it comes with damper wheels, as opposed to the hyfax system, to support the track on either side of the drive sprockets. That's a desireable feature.

Good luck with the sale. I realize you're quite a ways from Salt Lake City, but I'd still suggest you consider listing it on ksl.com. The "viewing area" for their ads is surprisingly large, and you've got nothing to lose. A quick check of the current ksl.com listings shows a bunch of Thiokol's and LMC's, a pair of Pisten Bully's, a Haaglunds and a Bombardier. But no Tuckers...

Thanks for your comments and recommendations. I tried to set up an account to put it on KSL but because I don't have a US address I can't get threw the sign up procedure.

The deal has been made and the machine will be headed towards Spokane in the next week or so. Thank you very much to the members of this site and especially Blackfoot for his time, efforts and comments.:clap:
