Did you ask Bill for a Manual ? he must have one.
If Bill does not have a manual call Petersons in Logan and give them the serial number. They may be able to provide a copy of the original build sheet along with the manual. They are not cheap but worth the price to have for your snow cat.
I do like those wide tracks. Just for sh!ts and giggles how wide are your roads, trails, shop doors and gates where you plan to use the cat?

i live in central BC on 360 acres this is where i will warm up the motor.Here is 2 pics of my 2,000 square mile's of guide area that i hunt and fish and play with a dozen cabins on it. imagine 6 to 10 feet of snow each winter and there is hundreds of lakes to ice fish that have 2 or 3 feet of ice thanks to the pine beetle its wide open they log all winter so the roads are 30 to 40 feet wide. we use sleds right now .the cat well we are now allowed to bate wolfs in so the bate will go on the back of the cat and drop off on the chosen lakes.
we mite use live traps then sell the wolf's to the US fish and game so they can reintroduce them in key parks to clean out the deer and elk
just kidding.

Where are you located in BC? I am in North Idaho and always looking for a good guide service! You need to get ahold of Snowcat Pat. He can help you out with parts and service.
Quite the backyard you have there. Mind if we bring our cats and come visit?

Beautiful lake and a real nice supply of winter meat in your pics!!! Where are you at in BC? I use to travel up east of Jasper near Hinton and the Tumbler Ridge area on business often. You are fortunate to live in an area that is so unspoiled by the masses of people. Keep posting those pics and you will get discovered!!!

I dont know who said those rear diffs were weak! The very early models had OC4 rear diffs. Yes those are weak in that type of vehicle great for the smaller Imps and such but not for the heavier 1200s. You my friend have the OC12 rear diff which is pretty much bullet proof. SNOWCAT PAT (member here) also known as Pat Foster in Wallace ID has all the parts and such for the OC12s. When you need brake lining call him or if your farther East contact BOGGIE (member here). He is located in Minnesota. The OC12s were designed to have much wider tracks than you have on right now. Change the rear diff fluid twice a year or more depending how much use it gets. Catapiler TO-4 30 weight is amazing stuff! about 70 bucks a change. (4.75 gallons needed) You will need 2 more gallons I believe since you have the drop axles. Post many pics!

Another thread on changing the oil on an OC-12 (no drop axles though on this OC-12) Add another two gallons or until it starts to run out the top fill hole. Also on the side of the drop axles are the drain holes. Make sure you remove these to get the oil out of the drop axle housings. Then run a few extra gallons of the cheapest 30 weight oil you can finde to flush the crud out. Then fill her up with some nice Caterpilar TO-4 30 weight.
