So here is a tale of a snow cat project that would be the envy of any (wo)man.
GIVEN: The value of a hobby is worth what ever one is willing to spend on it.
AND: the difference between a hobby and a habit is a 12 step program.
I am going to document the end of life for a cat that likely was the gleam in the eye of some happy groomer operator back when it was new.
When this machine hit the forum we had some things to say about it......
I do not have the ability to dive deep and professionally compose elegant prose.
I do have the ability to fix anything with nothing.
So if you can bear with me I will try to continue to document each area of this fine piece of yard art in the hopes that some future snow cat connoisseur will gain the confidence to avoid a wooden boat of a project, and maybe another find a diamond in the rough.

- They have a very skinny jump seat to the left of the driver. Wonder why it has that high snorkle intake and the even higher exhaust? The air cleaner on my 2100b sits on top of the carb. Maybe it's a mud buggy?
- Its not a give away...
- Will take either a lot of money to pay someone, or take a lot of your own time to get that into a proper shape...
- Of course, it will probably start, run and drive, but you'll never know when it will break a track or pop a seal on the engine due to being abandoned for so long...
- Longterm project, take it all apart and put it together...
- Hopefully you can house it at the cabin, since its too wide to tow without oversized signs...
- I think I read it wrong... its $1500 to the person who picks it up
- Looks like it would make a nice parts cat for the money though, probably some goodish stuff on there. Lots of steel to scrap out too!
