the poster says its "home made" but I'd guess its the frame and drive from an older snowcat. But what? Owner is asking $8000.

Verbiage from the ad. People sure do struggle to take good photos.

The Two speed rear could mean it has a Studebaker Weasel rear differential. That would be a very good thing indeed.
The grousers look like Thiokol to me, but not sure at all.

It's a custom build on a lightfoot chassis. Who knows about the engine, seems back in the day the old boy who was the original builder would go down to the wrecking yard and buy a power plant he liked, they were usually ford, but other engines were also used, than he would build a cat around them. The craftsmanship looks pretty good on that rig, and the tracks look in better shape than mine.
