Thank you PJL, I have them uploaded. The transmission is an Allison automatic 4 speed. Not sure on the hrs. We changed the hour meter because it stopped working. No blade. The machine gets serviced every fall, which includes fluid changes and grease job. We have spare idler wheels, some track belting, and spare cleats.

Looking at the photos, nice, BTW, it appears the grousers have had some work done to them in the form of welding beads along the wear surface to extend their life due to the grousers original steel being worn away. That tells me that either the machine was used a fair bit in no-snow or low-snow conditions and/or has a lot of hours. If the latter, not unusual for a groomer, I'd be concerned about journal wear and cracks in the journals.

Though there is no front blade on the machine, if you look just above the back of the front carriers you'll see diagonal support members running down to a horizontal radiused C channel, which is part of the blade system for this vintage machine. That would indicate this left the factory with a blade. Does the machine have the valve assembly and hydraulic plumbing still attached? I ask because that would make it easier for a potential buyer to add a blade if they desired, and those components add value.

Something else I can't tell is the type of wheel in the rear-most position on each of the four carriers. Those should be de-icer wheels, which differ from the other idler wheels in that the de-icer wheels use a harder compound in place of the standard rubber. Typically that compound is polyurethane and it's usually a different color than the standard idler wheel's black rubber.
 
I am not thinking that it ever had a blade------when I had mine it had the plug -ins on the frt. for the blade--- had to believe someone would patch frt. end even if they were never going to use the blade again----this was mine I got 10 g for it
