So... Was able to get my hands on this from a great guy out of Salt Lake. Yes it's gonna take a lot of work. Part of the fun, right?
Plan is to pull it with my 98 Tucker 2000. It currently has seating for 16... I am posting for ideas and any information you all may have on it's history.
It's "shell" is all aluminum. Sub frame and hitch assembly are steel tubing. That being said it is HEAVY (6,000 lbs) and not much "ground" clearance so it will not be a deep snow rig.
Current thoughts are removing half the seating, install bunk bed setup in that area, that would still seat 8 and sleep 4. Diesel fired heater, some batteries with inverter, stereo of course!
The short list of repairs at this point are windows and seals, clean up of exterior, same for interior, at some point either paint or wrap (Omaha Orange of course, wrap would be cool to incorporate some Tuckerish graphics), powder coat sub frame Gray of same heritage.
Our 2000 has the eaton hydrostat setup for groomer... Ideas have included torque hub drive motors which would make the cat trailer combo a 6x6. Need to research this a bit. Possibly incorporate the ability to transport a couple of sleds... This will not happen anytime soon, but thoughts like this occur when these kinds of things are in the presence of 45 year old adolescents...
And yes, Momma Bear approved the name.
