Cool Cat on CraigsList What is it??

am I wrong or does 12 k seem kind of high for it, on the Allen may want it as it has wood grousers it would make a nice match for his krustys.
The price is very high for a first gen. prototype cat. It isn't in that good of shape either. Parts would be rare as well. Hope is sits till the owner gets a good dose of reality..... $4K would be plenty for this unit...

It's claim to be a proto-type would be false. Utah Scientific's first machine had a configuration much like a Tucker Snow Cat with 4 tracks, but instead of turning both sets, it only turned the front set. Many people mistake this model for being University of Utah, Logan EXP#1(Actually the number 1 was written out ONE on the brass nameplate which I removed shortly before the machine was scrapped out. I gave it to Bill and Mary Guthrie, who had it framed.
It is most likely that Tucker Snow Cat, which had already been producing Snow Cats for 30 years, sued for patent infringment. Thus the 2nd model was 2 track instead of 4 track. They made quite a few of these.

That looks like a 4VL.
$12.5 K?......YGTBSM!

How about some photos of yours posted in this thread so we can make some sort of comparison
Correct answer. That's it. Now I wish I had prevented it from being scrapped. What's worse is that I could have gotten it for free! I lived in the junkyard in a trailer house for one year within 500 feet of the machine. Looked it over many times but decided it was just too big a project. The junk yard was 2 miles square, and I saw 55 below temperatures there. I've sort of kicked myself over that for some years. The tracks were missing, so I never knew what the grousers looked like, but the tires, and most of the drive components, and the Cab were intact. I never was able to determie how they adjusted track tension. Each 2 wheel assembly was driven by a gearcase very similar to whats on a Grader, only smaller.
