Saw this Amphibious Thiokol Spryte on Ebay and thought that Dargo needed to buy it.


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A THIOKOL SPRYTE SNOCAT MODEL 1301 SERIAL NUMBER 043. I AM NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT IS. THE UNIT HAS A NEW JASPER STRAIGHT SIX FORD ENGINE. IT IS A 4 SPEED TRANS WITH REVERSE. I WAS TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE UNIT THAT IT WAS AMPHIBIOUS,(FLOATS IN WATER) HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. YOU WOULD NEED TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURE. IT RUNS AND OPERATES GOOD. IT DOES HAVE ONE MASTER CYLINDER FOR THE STEERING THAT DOES LEAK FLUID, AND NEEDS TO BE FILLED AND BLED PERIODICALLY. THE MACHINE COULD USE A PAINT JOB, AND INTERIOR WORK. ALSO THE FLOOR IN THE REAR SECTION NEEDS NEW PLYWOOD AND CARPET. IT HAS TWO SIDE WINDOWS IN THE DOOR THAT HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. OVERALL IT IS A GOOD RUNNER. THE TRACKS ARE 26 INCHES WIDE. IT WEIGHS 3100LBS. MACHINES WIDTH IS 78 INCHES. IT HAS WINDOW WIPERS, HEATER AND BILDGE PUMP. HOUR METER READS 386 HOURS. HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS. IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CALL ME AT 1-765-426-6704 I AM LOCATED IN WEST LAFAYETTE IN 47906
I ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY, BECAUSE I HAVE IT FOR SALE IN MY LOCAL PAPER.

Wow! $697 is the current top bid. It must need work but it would be a cool project.

Is that a beer keg in the back?

Dargo, I'll buy it if you can store it for me. ;)

Looks like a Keg to me . . . and by the way, Dargo is looking at installing a car lift in his barn so it seems to me he will have the storage space he needs! :thumb:

I like this:

"HOUR METER READS 386 HOURS. HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS. "

... which means it doesn't.

Actually, I figure that Dargo is a Type-A type person and if I can convince him to store a dirty old thiokol on his property that eventually he will clean it up and make it look all pretty. I suspect he doesn't tolerate a lot of junk on his estate. :whistle:

Beer keg converted to fuel tank would be my guess. The deposit on a beer keg is much cheaper than actually buying a real fuel tank. Redneck fuel tank!!!! The aluminum does not rust. Pretty easy to set it up as a fuel tank.

Bob, what's your cell phone number? My wife wants it after I told her that you forced me to buy that Jeep. Someone asked me yesterday what I'm going to do with it; I have no idea! :eek:

Jerk!

Hmmm . . . I guess I'd need to mount a second beer keg for fueling this redneck then! :1062:

Talked to the owner today and he doesnt know for sure if it is amphibious. That would be a pretty neat machine if it was. He did say it was missing a plate in the rear so for sure that would need to be replaced if it was amphibious. I do not recall any amphibious Thiokols. Does anyone else?

Did you figure out what his reserve price is? I'm just curious. I can't buy it 'cause my wife would kill me. Unless it can drag a brush hog and I can mount a Front End Loader on it.

Then I can sell my tractor and get it instead. :D

Both Mith & Dargo are master fabricators here on the Forums, MadReferee is our master at hydraulics. Between the 3 of them, I'm sure they could fix you up with the bush hog/FEL combo. Any other requests? Want a coffee maker in the cab too?

Oh that would be perfect. Cold Beer and Hot Coffee. What else does a man need? (Oh yeah - the two hotties from your picture in that other thread might be good too :whistle: )

Bob - you are a man after my own heart.:thumb:

Related? No. And they are not friends of my wife or my daughter either! HA!!!

Lafayette is roughly 90 minutes drive (longer if you follow the speed limit), due south.
