Maybe as follows: According to Bill Bolunis Jr, son of the Snow Trac delership in Anchorage, for all of alaska, the #4 rig was still being used by a cannery to drag fish nets up a ramp, was still operational, and stank like fish. Had all kinds of fish hooks in the track. These 4 introductory units, shipped to the US military for testing were Unique in that instead of aluminum cabs, alot of the sheetmetal on the cabs was Sheet Brass! A guy in North Pole has one, not in too bad of shape. The information I have for #4, was from 1994, not current. But I believe the one in North Pole recently changed hands. Your's is likely the lowest OPERATING unit, because the one from North Pole was heavily used for Hunting, and that usually leads to their demise. The last time I saw a "Brass-Cab" was in 2000, and it was marginally operational. >
Snow Trac's fit thru the cargo door of a DC6. A mine operator in the NOattack preserve, about 100 miles from Red Dog Mine, and equal distant from Kotzebue, liked them to use at his mine, only accessable by aircraft, and operated seasonally. I believe he has 6 or 7, possibly one is operational. these machines are inherently doomed by 1) being used for mining service, and 2) their remote location. What the miner did was rob parts of all the other machines to keep one machine alive. Seeing them might make a grown man cry. The one at the mine at Liven good was "Toast". They were not really designed for mining. Just to get the numbers off these machines would be a monumental task. Fly to alaska, Fly from there to Kotzebue, find the old miner at his house there ( heavy drinker, always sleeps till noon!) make arraingements with a bush pilot to fly out to the mine...... Kinda get the 'gist' of it? It's just short of a full blown Expedition! One could get some interesting pictures though. I already did the hard work for you, flew to Kotzebue, located the old Miner.... all you have to do is find the Miner and hire a bush pilot! good luck!

going back and reading this was interesting Vic lawers is using several snow tracs and I trackmaster at his mine up by deering still. the coast guard buried 3 or 4, 2 band models at the dump at port Clarence. there was 2 sent to st Laurence island, they were both 3 band models the one from savoonga is sitting in vic's yard here in nome the other one one was left on gambel and I presume is buried. I understand there may still be a runnable snow trac in koyuk, but when the engine died no one could figure how to get it running again. put a snow trac around salt spay and it's amazing how bad they rot out the one I saw that came from savoonga looked like swis cheese.

Don very good on your history and detective work! So Bill Bolunis Sr.and his wife owned AKTIV Recreational on 7329 Old Harbor Rd. In Anchorage? And yes this trac has been in Bristal Bay for many years it was never used to haul Salmon instead they used it to lay the water pipe from the lake to the plant. Back when wood pipe was used! There is a sticker on the cab from Westgate Truck Center also Ski facilities Inc. So I'm not sure if that is where they were purchased. Overall it is good shape it reads 2273 miles on the speedo. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks everyone. Came a long way since I bought it about 14 months ago. Planning on using for fun. New engine, transmission, clutch, fuel tanks, etc. going in shortly. Didn't know anything about them when I bought it but the body was in good shape, interior looked good, and had original seat cushions. Below are some pics of it when I bought it.

i just went and viewed a machine today. tag says its a st4 number 0978. looking at the chart i think it should be a st4b but the machine looks to have narrow fenders unlike the trac master. tracks and drive sprockets are missing, overall machine looks to be in poor shape but deffinately can be brought back to life. havent talked to the owner yet, so cant disclose location other than central interior of british columbia, canada.

here is sn 605 now for sale for 10 grand blue water marine brought it here for an ice mining project that never got off the ground. bering sea gold star Derrick McClarity bought it and now it appears he wants to sell it.it still has the gas heater in it, also is now powered by a 1600 cc motor other than the encloser over the top has been replaced with a hinged enclose it appears in pretty good condition. I'm guessing that when he bought it he and the Emily were a thing and now they aren't he won't be using it on the ice on her operation.

I am currently working on 'repair', not 'restoration' of my ST, s/n 58031. My dad got this back in the mid 60's and it's been in the family ever since. Major work is needed on the driver swing arms as the bearings have gone out on both sides. Unfortunately my dad was a little lax in maintenance and the machine sat idle for about 15 years. But I remember many great hunting trips around Gunsight Mountain and I am determined to get it going again. Current location is in the Big Lake area north of Anchorage.

I have just purchased my first Snow Trac serial # ST4 242. The machine is in pretty good condition with a VW rabbit motor and disk brake conversion. Has no roof and will need to have sheet aluminum installed with some ribbing for strength. :clap:
